Description
My own take on Waribiki's amazing Auri - sharpened teeth, antlers, and all.
Based on High Poly Head but not dependent on it.
She will use whatever skin and body you have installed for maximum compatibility and is set to use the default woodelffemale textures, and yes, that includes the face normal map fix, so if you use vanilla textures which do not include the face normals for female bosmer, you will need this.
She will also use your own eye cubemaps, normals, and etc. because visual consistency rocks.
My own screenshots were taken using balanced version of ALT 2 by khisartin at DDS Workshop, whose stuff is the most amazing ever and I encourage everyone to check out her website and consider supporting her.
As for the general visual setup, I've got Community Shaders (all features), Azurite Weathers, and Lux. Some shots were taken in GGUNIT's version of Auri's Pod, and Auri is wearing Sona Armor by fuse00. I tried to capture shots in a few different lightning conditions, but overall the pics are pretty boring other than basic showcasing of the mod.
This is my own personal take on Auri's appearance which I've been consistently tweaking for at least past two years and now I'm finally happy enough with it to share it. Some might point out that she looks like a human with elf ears and antlers and... well, you're kinda right, and I have no shame admitting it, but since original Auri is based on ESO's 'humanish' elves anyway, you could say that this is just the extension of the original idea. Some of my major inspirations were, ESO's elves, Elder Scrolls Legends card art, (very oddly specific) Leliana from Dragon Age: Origins - Sacred Ashes cinematic trailer, and... (this is the most embarrassing one) random edits of people's elf player characters from Baldur's Gate 3 that have happened to come up on my social media feeds, and probably many more which I cannot remember right now. This is the first and the final version of the mod, unless there's absolutely game-breaking bugs in it. (I lied, sorry).
Installation
Install using your preferred mod manager as usual, or manually if you're brave enough/need to be admitted. Let it overwrite and load after the original mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 178 endorsements and 5,489 downloads
- Recently updated (December 2024) so it's likely compatible with current setups
- Straightforward replacer—no gameplay changes, just a visual upgrade
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Auri's appearance—if you want new content, this isn't it
- Requires the original Auri mod to be installed, which isn't explicitly linked here
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Auri's appearance or body mesh
For Skyrim players who love Auri as a follower but wish she looked more detailed and polished. If you're a fan of high-poly character overhauls and want a consistent look for your companions, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for new quests or gameplay mechanics—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Auri follower mod installed first, as this replacer depends on it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other Auri mods accidentally.
- Check your load order—place this replacer after any other mods that modify Auri's appearance.
