📋 About This Mod
Elyse is a Standalone Breton follower, now although she is a Breton she has grown to love archery and she will come with her own Fire enchanted Ebony Bow, she will with her own spawn nude as I believe it is best to just allow the player to choose which armor they prefer her to wear. Elyse uses her own textures along with her own bodyslide, you are able to manually change the textures in her folder if you wish to along with being able to change her body shape too by replacing the body, hand and feet nifs in the meshes body folder, also her body type is 3ba :)
She will be waiting for you in the Bannered Mare in Whiterun.
And lastly she is ESP flagged as an ESL so she will not take up a slot in your load order.
Recommended:
I personally use Multiple Followers Framework with my followers as it allows me to teleport any current follower to me if they happen to get lost as long as you recruit them via that framework but I believe Nether's Follower Framework is also a good one to have if you don't like the other one.
I also recommend Relationship Dialogue Overhaul too :)
As far as I'm aware she is safe to install mid game and as long as you're currently not inside the same area she is located then all should be fine :)
The outfits I used in the shots are Luna and Dark Nun both done by Rektas (Search via Google)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 357 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads
- ESL-flagged means no load order slot wasted, perfect for heavy mod lists
- Customizable appearance—swap textures and body meshes to your liking
⚠️ Cons
- Spawns nude by default, which might not be everyone's cup of tea
- Last updated in early 2023, so no recent updates or patches
- Compatibility risk with mods that overhaul Whiterun's Bannered Mare or follower frameworks
For Skyrim players who want a ready-made follower with a unique look and archery focus, without the hassle of customizing a vanilla follower. Also great for those who use 3BA body mods and want a follower that matches. Skip if you prefer fully clothed followers or need a follower with deep dialogue and quest integration.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no extra steps needed.
- To change her body shape, replace the body, hand, and feet NIFs in the meshes folder with your preferred ones.
- If you use a follower framework like Nether's, you can recruit her through it for better management.
