📋 About This Mod

This is a port to SSE of the original Skyrim mod Aeril with permission from the original authors.

You may not redistribute, upload or otherwise use the assets of this mod in any way without express permission from the original authors.

Mod cannot be uploaded anywhere else other than nexus without express permission from the authors.

Required for proper functionality of physics versions:

1) 

XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended - XPMSSE

by Groovtama   Select HDT mapping during install.  All of the body meshes have been tested in SSE using this skeleton and work fine.

2) CBP Physics and all of its requirements - For the Physics Versions (or an alternative Physics Framework)

Ignore the requirements listed in the original description.  All you need is what is listed above.

DO NOT attempt to install the oldrim mods mentioned in the original description as it probably wont work at best and at worst it will destroy the universe.

The description below is copied from the original mod so the links in it will be pointing to oldrim mods, not SSE mods

I am leaving skyrim for fallout 4 and will no longer be supporting this mod.

Aeril is a warrior that I've been using as my character for a while. I thought I'd make her a standalone follower in case anyone else wants to use her. Racemenu slot and export files are also available. Enjoy!

Face was modeled after Companion Selene Kate - Kiss Me by Kasprutz and Hello Santa

1. Skyrim version has to be 1. 9. 32. 0 or higher

Although this mod is mostly "standalone" it does depend on the Eyes of Beauty cubemap, so make sure you have it or your eyes might look a bit different than screenshots. Also, this mod depends on the vanilla Skyrim head/face tri files and morphs. If you've customized them, these ladies might look a bit different.

Race: Nord-based (created a custom race so I could use the UNP body)

Body: UNP or CBBE (UNPB in screenshots)

Skin: Fairskin

Location: Whiterun - Hall of the Dead

Level: 1 - No limit

She is essential and can be married.

Weight: 100
