📋 About This Mod
This is my updated & standalone visual overhaul for Serana, now separate from Fabulous Followers 2. 0 (coming soon-ish)!
I've given her a more aristocratic appearance along with a subtle pair of fangs to represent her station as the scion of Clan Volkihar. She uses a custom set of skin textures made for the UNP body with a paler complexion, slightly more pronounced veins, & a unique scar inflicted on her during Molag Bal's ritual. Finally, I've increased Serana's level cap from 50 to 60 & she also has the Lightfoot perk to avoid setting off traps. The plugin is in ESPFE format so it won't take up a slot in your load order.
SIMONRIM ADDON
An optional patch that swaps out some of Serana's perks & spells with thematic alternatives. This addon REQUIRES both Adamant & Mysticism to be installed.

Augmented Frost (Tier 1): Frost spells deal 25% more damage.
Custom Fit: You receive a 25% armor bonus when wearing three matching pieces of light armor.
Dark Oath (Tier 1): Summoned creatures last 50% longer.
Endurance: You spend 20% less Stamina when power attacking or drawing a bow when wearing three pieces of light armor.
Permafrost: Frost spells reduce enemy attack damage by 25% for 10 seconds.
Quick Slash (Tier 1): Swords and daggers have a 10% chance of dealing critical damage.
Trespasser: You no longer trigger traps, and you can execute a silent roll while sneaking.
Spell Changes
Removed: Raise Zombie
Added: Conjure Death Hound, Conjure Skeleton, Vampiric Bolt
REQUIREMENTS
Other than the Dawnguard DLC, the base mod has no hard requirements. USSEP & USMP changes have been forwarded to the appropriate records.
COMPATIBILITY & OTHER INFO
Any mod that modifies Serana's base record would need patching, whether or not it affects her physical appearance. Mods such as Serana Dialogue Add-On & Serana Dialogue Expansion are COMPATIBLE since they don't touch her NPC record directly. Please exercise smart modding practices & make sure to check for conflicts in xEdit.

A modest visual makeover for Serana, Skyrim's favorite vampire companion. This mod refines her appearance while keeping her recognizable, making it a simple choice for players who want a subtle improvement without overhauling her character.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 182 endorsements and over 31k downloads
- Lightweight and focused—doesn't overhaul Serana's personality or quests
- Last updated in September 2024, so it's still actively maintained
⚠️ Cons
- Only a visual tweak—if you want deeper changes to Serana, this isn't it
- May conflict with other mods that alter Serana's appearance or mesh
- No compatibility patches mentioned, so you'll need to test with your load order
For Skyrim players who love Serana but wish she looked a bit more refined without a full overhaul. If you're after a subtle visual upgrade that keeps her iconic look, this is for you. Skip if you want gameplay changes or a complete redesign.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this mod after other Serana appearance mods in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily toggle it on/off if you're testing compatibility.
- Check the mod's file structure—if it's a loose file, you can manually drop it into your Data folder, but a mod manager is cleaner.
