📋 About This Mod
☀️
Are you about to leave on yet another adventure? Why not say a proper farewell to your spouse and children? Let them know of your intentions, and they may confer a blessing--or a portent of doom--upon you.
Fully voiced and utilizing carefully spliced and re-purposed dialogue, Fare Thee Well covers 29 voice types (or 31 if using the latest version), with 5 different conversations possible for each voice type. Everything is based on new records, so there are no conflicts with other dialogue or perk mods.
Each blessing (and curse) lasts for 5 in-game days. You cannot receive a new blessing until the previous one has expired. However, it is possible to have 2 blessings (or curses) active at the same time by receiving one from your spouse and another from an adopted child.
06/10/26: This page has been a bit of a construction zone for a while. Rest assured, Fare Thee Well is still alive and kicking, and moving towards a major update brand new release. The shields are up (comment section is currently closed), but you can use the thread in the Forum tab if you need to ask questions or talk about compatibility.

In essentials, spouses can:
Urge Care - Your beloved has urged you to take care of yourself. To comfort them, you put far more effort into your healing spells and crafted potions.
Express Devotion - Your beloved's devotion makes you feel able to take on almost any threat. Your magical wards are more effective, and you derive greater benefit from wearing armor.
Entreat Divines - Your beloved has entreated the higher powers to watch over your safety. Death seems less able to catch up with you.
Instill with Confidence - Your spouse has great confidence in your abilities. Your effectiveness with elemental spells and weapons of all types is greatly improved.
Confess Fear - Your beloved is clearly less than convinced that you will return home alive.
Fare Thee Well adds a family farewell mechanic where spouses and children can grant blessings or doom portents before you leave on adventures. With 1,335 endorsements and 753,380 downloads, it's a popular immersion mod for players who want deeper family interactions. Last updated October 2025.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 753,380 downloads and 1,335 endorsements show it's widely used.
- Adds a simple but meaningful layer to family life without overhauling the game.
- Actively maintained, with an update in October 2025.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects farewell interactions—doesn't expand other family mechanics.
- Blessing/doom effects may be minor or situational depending on your playstyle.
For roleplayers and immersion fans who want to feel more connected to their in-game family. If you're a completionist who likes extra layers of interaction, this is a nice touch. Skip if you prefer fast-paced gameplay and don't care about family RP.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to talk to your spouse and kids before heading out on long quests to trigger the blessing.
- If you get a doom portent, consider delaying your departure or preparing extra supplies.
- Works best with other family-related mods for a fuller experience.
