✨ Key Features

Both followers are essential and marriageable, with FemaleYoungEager voice type.
Body type uses whatever body mod you have installed, with default KS Hair and The Eyes of Beauty options.
Optional Dwemer-themed version with Dwarven armor and weapons, plus optional bright green eye texture.
ESL-flagged plugins as of version 4.0; updating from previous versions requires a new game due to FormID changes.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 454 endorsements and over 11k downloads, so it's a proven follower mod.
  • Two-in-one: get a new standalone follower or replace Recorder with a fresh look—flexible for different playthroughs.
  • Fully voiced with FemaleYoungEager, and both are essential and marriageable, so they fit into any roleplay without dying.

⚠️ Cons

  • Version 4.0 ESL-flagging means a new game is mandatory if updating from older versions—no exceptions, so plan accordingly.
  • Requires external mods like KS Hair and The Eyes of Beauty for the intended look, so you'll need to grab those separately.
  • Replacer version overwrites Recorder, so if you want the original follower back, you'll have to uninstall or manage load order carefully.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a new, fully voiced follower with a barbarian vibe, or who want to give Recorder a fresh appearance. Also great for those who enjoy customizing followers with body mods. Skip if you're not into follower mods or don't want to deal with the new game requirement on updates.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod uses default body types, install a body mod like CBBE or UNP first to get the look you want.
  • If you're updating from an older version, start a new game—the mod author warns that ignoring this will irreparably damage your save.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the ESL-flagged plugins and avoid load order issues.
