📋 About This Mod

Taari is not your usual Altmer lady.

Not much is known about her origins. She only knows she was born and raised in Skyrim, she has a great affinity to the snow, and she looks different from the other High Elves.

She is Essential and Marriageable.

You can meet her near the Thalmor tower at Castle Dour in Solitude. Talk to her and convince her to follow you.

She has a small quest which is just an introduction dialogue and a marker so you can always find her.

To trigger the quest you have to enter Solitude (it might not work if you are already in there or if you spawn there with a cheat - if that's the case, and the dialogue line "Who are you?" doesn't appear, try exiting and entering again or make a clean save outside Solitude and re-install the mod).

Her first dialogue lines are generated with Xvasynth, after that she will hook up to the vanilla follower system and speak with the predefined Female Condescending lines.

Since she uses the vanilla framework, she can be managed with any other follower framework you like (ATF, EFF; Nether etc.).

She will use your default body and skin textures, so the appearance might look a bit different. In the pictures I use Bijin Skin with CBBE.

The mod contains the face morph, the hair texture from KS Hairdos, and eye texture (a recolor of the vanilla eyes I made).

High poly version revoiced with Elevenlabs is available here (all my mods are FREE).

If you want Taari's face as a replacer for the quest mods Frozen in Time or The Frozen Heart you can now grab her here.

Here's her racemenu preset: Taari The Ice Cold

And the body I use in the game: Allison body for CBBE

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 334 endorsements and over 5.5k downloads.
  • ESPFE means it won't count against the plugin limit—nice for load order hoarders.
  • Ice magic + archery is a solid combo for ranged combat support.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2022, so might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
  • No mention of custom voice or unique dialogue beyond the intro, so she might be a silent follower.
  • As a standalone follower, she won't integrate with mods like Interesting NPCs or Inigo.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a frosty elven companion with ranged combat skills without heavy scripting. If you're after a fully voiced, quest-rich follower, this isn't it—she's a straightforward, lightweight addition.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since she's ESPFE, you can safely place her mod anywhere in your load order, but putting it near other follower mods helps with consistency.
  • Use the journal tracking feature to find her if you dismiss her and forget where she wandered off to.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the install to avoid missing the ESPFE file.
