Changelog
V. 1. 0 to V. 1. 01:
1. Changed his face slightly, maybe for the last time,
and added the possibility to let Gandalf use Glamdring if
the needed contend is downloaded. Otherwise
he just uses an enchanted steelsword.
2. Mod is able to show his hair now, while wearing the hat.
3. Renamed Gandalfs Hat
4. Gandalf now has got his typical Staff from the 1. Part of
LOTR, it 's included in the mod. It will cast light, if he draws the staff!
He also got his typical hat now, if you downloaded the mod, which is needed to
have the hat appear in his inventory, otherwise he will wear a Jester-hat...

1. DISCRIPTION
Yepp, this is Gandalf,
and i hope i managed to make him look like the one from the first episode of LOTR!
If someone likes to use him as a modders-ressource, just do so, give me the information
and a link to your mod and full credit and link to my mod of course. Just in case you are
making a compilation of characters yourself, you have to wait for my permission to use him.
There is not much about him in this mod, just was trying to match him, make him look a bit weathered
like in the first part of the movies.

Unpack the BSA-Files into your DATA-Folder, so Gandalf will wear Glamdring ingame!
Otherwise he will just wear a Steelsword named Glamdring!
Gandalf Hat by DigitalLion
This version also works well with SSE!

Adds Gandalf the Grey as a follower in the Bannered Mare in Whiterun. A compact follower mod with 123 endorsements, last updated in 2018, offering a familiar character for Skyrim players seeking a magical companion.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Decent community support with 123 endorsements.
- Over 5,000 downloads shows people are using it.
- Simple concept: grab Gandalf from the Bannered Mare and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it might not play nice with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- No details on custom AI, voice, or quests—could just be a generic follower with a skin.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter the Bannered Mare or Whiterun.
For Skyrim players who want a familiar wizard companion without messing with complex quest mods. If you're a Lord of the Rings fan and just want Gandalf to follow you around, this is a quick grab. Skip if you expect a fully voiced, quest-integrated follower—this is a simple add.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) installed if the mod requires it, though the description doesn't mention it.
- Check your load order—place this mod after any mods that edit Whiterun or the Bannered Mare to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, use the 'Deploy' feature to ensure the files are placed correctly.
