📋 About This Mod
Aranea Ienith is a dunmer priestess, and refugee from Morrowind. She is a priestess of Azura, one of the "three good daedra" worshiped by the New Temple and formerly venerated as the Anticipation of Sotha Sil. As such, I make the conjecture that Aranea was a Temple priestess in her homeland, and should still wear the robes of her faith. Here ya go.
This mod is a newer version of my prior mod Aranea of the Temple. Unlike the previous iteration it should require no patching. It does this by making use of Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID).
CompatibilityThis mod:
-
[]creates a new outfit.
[
]contains an SPID .ini file to apply that outfit to Aranea Ienith.It should be pretty much compatible with everything.
This mod should not be used alongside its non-SPID version, Aranea of the Temple, as it would be redundant.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 230 endorsements and 6,166 downloads
- Simple, lore-friendly tweak that fits the immersion category
- No heavy scripts or patches—just a clean SPID distribution
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one NPC, so it's a very narrow change
- Requires SPID, which some players might not have installed
- Potential conflicts with other mods that modify Aranea's outfit or appearance
For Skyrim players who care about NPC outfit consistency and want Aranea to look more like a proper priestess. If you're into immersion mods and already use SPID, this is a no-brainer. Skip it if you're not bothered by her default robes or if you don't want to add another dependency.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SPID is installed and up to date, as this mod relies on it to distribute the outfit.
- Load this mod after any mods that change Aranea's appearance to ensure the outfit applies correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable the mod and let it overwrite if prompted—no manual file placement needed.
