📋 About This Mod
BB's SERANA OVERHAUL
I have a new file for Serana here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/85430
Please use the new file. There are no requirements and more options, and it is more reliable.
I recommend finding a mod that removes Serana's hood permanently for now.
because she will be bald when wearing any hat, hood or helmet
I will try to find time to make a mesh that will add her hair later on
Light Plugin. Performance optimized.
You will need Expressive Facial Animations for Women.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 357 endorsements and over 8.6k downloads.
- Performance-friendly as a light plugin, so it won't tank your FPS.
- Author is active and points to a newer, more reliable version with more options.
⚠️ Cons
- Known baldness bug when Serana wears any headgear—you'll need a separate mod to fix it.
- Author explicitly says to use the new file instead, making this version outdated.
- Requires Expressive Facial Animations for Women, so it's not a standalone drop-in.
For Skyrim players who want a prettier Serana and don't mind a few extra mods. If you're after a complete overhaul with no known issues, grab the newer file the author links. Skip if you want a hassle-free replacer with no dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since Serana goes bald with hoods, grab a mod that removes her hood permanently to avoid the bald look.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the install and load order easily.
- Check the linked new file on Nexus—it's the author's recommended version with more options and no requirements.
