📋 About This Mod
Hello! Teldryn has been one of my favorites for years and I was inspired to put together a texture mashup to give him a more distinct appearance.
Edits to Teldryn Sero directly have been minimal. His OUTFIT record has been changed, while the NPC record has been left untouched. This was to ensure compatibility with most visual replacers. If a replacer changes his equipped gear, then a patch may been needed.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Respectable community traction: 158 endorsements and 24k downloads show it's got a following.
- Covers multiple body types (vanilla, 3BA, HIMBO) so it fits a wide range of setups.
- Optional HDT-SMP means you can get physics without forcing it on everyone.
⚠️ Cons
- Niche appeal: it's a recolor for one specific follower's armor, so it won't matter if you don't use Teldryn.
- No gameplay changes—pure cosmetic, so if you want armor stats or new mechanics, look elsewhere.
- Compatibility risk: the HDT-SMP option requires a physics framework, and body mods can conflict with other armor overhauls.
For Skyrim players who use Teldryn Sero and want his armor to reflect his Blacklight backstory. Also for modders who appreciate lore-friendly cosmetic tweaks. Skip if you're not a Teldryn fan or you're after gameplay-altering armor mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install the variant that matches your body mod (3BA or HIMBO) to avoid clipping.
- For HDT-SMP physics, make sure you have the required physics framework installed and enabled, or the optional file won't work.
- Since it's a recolor, load it after any mods that change Teldryn's default armor to ensure the new look takes priority.
