📋 About This Mod
Astonishing Arissa is an appearance refresh of Arissa - The Wandering Rogue, inspired by her original look and re-made with resources from 2021. Arissa was always one of my favorite followers for LE, so I felt she deserved a nice visual refresh, as her default look didn't quite age well. Astonishing Arissa makes use of High Poly Head, Brows, KS Hairdos, and more to bring her in line with modern NPCs. The plugin is ESL-flagged, so it won't take up space in your load order.
Arissa will make use of your default body, but use custom textures that can be chosen based on body type in the FOMOD. If you are using the vanilla body, you'll want to use Vanilla Body For UNP Textures if Arissa's feet bother you.
Requires the original Arissa - The Wandering Rogue.
If you want to use Arissa - Default Body plus Dialog Fix, load it before this mod in the load order.
If you don't have Arissa ported and want to try the original mod and/or this replacer, see my guide on How To Port Arissa To SSE.
