📋 About This Mod
This is a standalone follower, meaning no other characters in the game have been replaced. A back story will be developed over the next few days and added into this description. Further updates to come as I get to know more about modding!
Voicetype: Female Sultry
Bodytype: The Simple Allure Body CBBE
Weight: 70
Height: default
Combat Style: Rogue
Armor/Outfit: Naked as the day she was born! She does come with steel daggers, nothing else!
YOU CAN FIND HER UPSTAIRS IN THE RIVERWOOD TRADER!
I highly recommend installing:
Amazing Follower Tweaks: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6656
I am not sure if the above is required? Certainly means you can change her combat style, outfits etc. So well worth it imo!
Installation (Recommended)
Install via NM or Vortex.
To install manually
unpack and drag and drop into your Skyrim Special Edition, main game folder (where skyrimSE.exe is)
Bugs?
Any issues please let me know, I will be checking back for reports of issues. This is only the second follower I have made, so still learning the ropes!,
Should I?
For anyone looking to create standalone custom followers, the process is confusing to start with and very long winded, but stick with it and you will get there too!
I might look to upload a detailed Youtube tutorial in the next week or two. I will put a link here on this mod page once uploaded if I do.
Hope you have fun on your adventures with Jade. Please post screenshots, would love to see them!!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 752 endorsements
- Simple and straightforward—no quests or backstory to wade through
- Standalone means no conflicts with other follower overhauls
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so might be outdated for newer Skyrim versions
- Requires CBBE, so if you don't use that body mod, you'll need to install it
- No custom voice or deep personality—just a basic follower
For Skyrim players who want a quick, no-fuss follower without extra content. If you're already using CBBE and just need a new companion to fill out your party, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for a follower with a quest, unique voice, or extensive backstory.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure CBBE is installed before adding this mod, or Jade might appear with missing textures.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage the files easily.
- If you're on Special Edition, check if the mod has a compatible version or use a conversion tool.
