📋 About This Mod
>>LE VERSION AVAILABLE HERE<<
Another character I take a lot of screenshots with. This one is my personal favorite since I've been using her pretty much since I started taking screenshots!!
She can be found in the Bard's College in Solitude on the first floor near the entrance, and is equipped with an Elven bow and dagger. She is wearing a barkeeper outfit. If you want to equip different clothes more easily, I included a nude esp that you can replace the main esp with.
Unfortunately for this mod, I can't use her normal body since it's half bodyslide/half ECE edited, so the follower version just has the bodyslide preset as the body and no other modifications.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 568 endorsements and 20k+ downloads – clearly a lot of people are using her.
- Standalone follower means no conflicts with other follower overhauls – she brings her own assets.
- The included Bodyslide preset is a nice bonus for body mod enthusiasts.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 – might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE updates or mods.
- Requires CBBE and Bodyslide to get the most out of the preset – not for vanilla body users.
- As a standalone follower, she might not integrate with popular follower frameworks like AFT or EFF.
For Skyrim SE players who want a custom female follower with a unique look and don't mind using CBBE. If you're into Bodyslide presets, this is a nice add. Skip if you prefer vanilla-friendly followers or need a follower that works with framework mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have CBBE installed before adding this mod, otherwise Astrid might look broken.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install – it's a simple drag-and-drop.
- If you want to use the Bodyslide preset, open Bodyslide and batch build it for your preferred body type.
