✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community reception with 233 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
- Multiple versions let you pick SMP physics or a lighter non-SMP option.
- Standalone means you don't have to replace Lydia, so you can keep her around.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires FSMP and XPMSSE for SMP versions, which adds setup complexity.
- Not compatible with the original Kurone Rim Lydia Replacer, so you must choose one.
- CustomRace version has a larger head, which might look off in some scenes.
For Skyrim players who want a unique anime-style follower without replacing Lydia. If you're into custom followers with detailed hair physics, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly followers or don't want to deal with SMP dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install, and pick either the SMP or non-SMP version depending on your setup.
- If you're not using SMP physics, grab the non-SMP version to avoid extra dependencies.
- Make sure XPMSSE is installed and overwrites other skeleton mods to prevent clipping.
