Handsome Housecarl Followers SSE - Lydia and Co NPC Overhaul

A total rework for the visuals & skills of several followers with an immersive, lore-friendly approach. All of the affected NPCs have been given new combat perks so they can carry their own weight against whatever threats the Dragonborn may face. I've also implemented a few other changes to make them less of a homogenous group of near-clones.

This mod overhauls the following NPCs:

Argis the Bulwark ~  Calder  ~  Gregor ~ Iona

Jordis the Sword-Maiden  ~ Lydia ~ Rayya ~ Valdimar

My goal was to visually enhance each follower in a way that wouldn't look too out of place in the vanilla game, but still be unique & reflective of their personality/background.

Perks Added: Light Foot, Barbarian (Tier 1), Limbsplitter (Tier 2), Custom Fit

New Outfit: Stormcloak Cuirass & Steel Battleaxe

NOTES: Calder is a proud Nord living in Windhelm & although he may not be a Stormcloak himself, I imagine he empathizes with the plight of his compatriots. My apologies to anyone who might've liked them, but the mutton chops had to go.

-- JORDIS --

Perks Added: Light Foot, Champion's Stance, Deep Wounds (Tier 1), Magic Resistance (Tier 1)

New Class: Two-Handed Warrior (Heavy Armor, Two-Handed, Archery, Block, One-Handed)

New Outfit: Steel Plate Armor & Steel Greatsword

NOTES: With an epithet like "The Sword-Maiden", I thought Jordis deserved a nice big greatsword to hack apart the enemies of Haafingar & I've also given her a more
