VISIONS
A Visions replacer for Melana the War Maiden.
Overview
A Visions replacer for Melana the War Maiden.
Another highly requested one, and one I was genuinely happy to make. KiaraRedVA is a friend of mine. She voiced my Astara follower (the librarian), and she voices Melana too. On top of that, I really love the innovative idea behind Melana: a follower who grows and improves in her own unique way. She was a pleasure to give the Visions treatment.

It replaces Melana's appearance with a new vision from ColdSun, supporting multiple body types and featuring FOMOD installer and ESL-flagged ESP for load order flexibility.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 437 endorsements and over 20k downloads—clearly a hit among Melana fans.
- Body type support is broad: 3BA, BHUNP, CBBE, TBD, UNP—covers almost everyone.
- ESL-flagged ESP means you save a plugin slot, which is always nice for load order management.
⚠️ Cons
- Only changes Melana's look—if you wanted new dialogue or quests, this isn't it.
- Requires the original Melana mod, so you're adding an extra dependency.
- Compatibility risk with other replacers for Melana—make sure you don't have conflicting overhauls.
For Skyrim players who love the Melana follower but want a fresh look without losing her personality. If you're into visual overhauls and use popular body mods, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a standalone follower.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Melana mod installed first, or this replacer won't work.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the FOMOD installer—it'll let you pick your body type easily.
- If you're using 3BA or BHUNP, double-check that you have the corresponding body mod installed, or the mesh might not look right.
