Upcoming
⋆ This is an ongoing project of mine.
⋆ Bug Fixes / Let me know about any texture or mesh issues.
⋆ Redoing Rosalind's skin textures! Several options are in the works from more Elder Scrolls lore friendly to more intense scars. Keep an eye out.
⋆ Will be going through the outfits again to see if there is anything I want to swap out.
⋆ Will include children overhaul for upcoming Immersive Features updates.
Outfit Patch
⋆ Does not require the main mod to use. This can be used with any of your replacers.
⋆ Works with SPID so if you don't want one of the outfits, remove that line from the KR2_KaidanNPC_Outfits_DISTR.ini
⋆ You will notice the KR2_KaidanNPC_Outfits.esp has no masters. This is because I wanted people to be able to remove any outfits they don't want to use. However, you must have (0212) wu le fu jin 舞樂浮燼 wu le huo ni 舞樂火霓 by lilyrim, Apachii Divine Elegance Store by Apachii and Urshi, and Ophelia Accessories by JediMasterObiWan installed (you can disable the esp, you just need the meshes and textures). If you don't want these outfits, just remove those lines from the ini file mentioned above.
⋆ The outfit used by Hans is from Sons of Skyrim by NordwarUA. He will use whatever you have installed for your Rift guards.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 451 endorsements and over 130k downloads
- Offers flexibility with alternate outfits and a non-IF version
- Includes a fun Flower/Sweetroll basket for extra flavor
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the Kaidan 2 mod to be installed, so it's not standalone
- Visual-only overhaul—no gameplay or quest changes
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter Kaidan NPCs
For Skyrim players who use the Kaidan 2 follower mod and want a fresh look for its NPCs. If you're after gameplay tweaks or quest additions, this isn't for you—it's purely cosmetic. Also great for those who want to customize Kaidan's appearance with alternate outfits.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Kaidan 2 installed first, and choose the correct version (with or without IF) to match your setup.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and easily switch between outfit options.
- If you're not using IF, grab the non-IF version to avoid conflicts.
