    Racemenu Preset requirements + Credits

    Follow this load order closely if you want the exact appearance as the ones in my screenshots.

    • []ENB Brow Fix - Brow Mesh without shine under ENB, overwrite all.

      []Brows by Hvergelmir - For brow diffuse and normal textures

      []High Poly Head 1. 4 - You must use the Symmetrical Eyes version with Expressive Facegen Morphs (EFM) option.

      []Expressive Facegen Morphs - You need this for all the extra sliders in Racemenu to edit the preset accurately; don't need it if you are not making edits.

      []KS Hairdos - Hair

      []The Eyes of Beauty - Ai Remastered - Eye diffuse texture

      []Eyes Nouveaux - Eye _n, _sk and _s textures

      *This is the only sculpt I've made that uses the Symmetrical Eyes option for High Poly Head; every other preset and sculpt I've released before this use the Asymmetrical Head (on purpose). I will highlight whenever Symmetrical Head is used.

      Racemenu Preset instructions

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A cosmetic follower mod that adds a high-poly Asian female follower inspired by Mai Shiranui, with CBBE/BHUNP and User body support, plus a Racemenu preset. For Skyrim players who want a detailed, anime-inspired companion without gameplay changes.

✨ Key Features

Adds a high-poly Asian female follower based on Mai Shiranui's face
Supports CBBE, BHUNP, and User body types
Includes a Racemenu preset for customization
Vanilla follower, no custom voice or quests
Updated February 2025, with 282 endorsements and 22,764 downloads

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 282 endorsements and over 22k downloads
  • High-poly face means sharp, modern visuals compared to vanilla followers
  • Body support for CBBE, BHUNP, and User covers most popular setups

⚠️ Cons

  • Cosmetic only—no custom AI, voice, or quests, so she's just a pretty face
  • Requires CBBE or BHUNP body mods to work as intended, which adds setup steps
  • Potential conflicts with other follower overhauls or body replacers if not patched
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a visually striking, anime-inspired follower to add to their roster without extra gameplay depth. Perfect if you're already using CBBE or BHUNP and want a high-poly companion. Skip if you're looking for a follower with a backstory or unique mechanics—this is purely cosmetic.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have CBBE or BHUNP installed first, or the follower may appear with missing textures or body parts.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage load order, and place this mod after body mods to ensure proper overwrite.
  • If you want to use the Racemenu preset, load it in the Racemenu character creation screen and adjust as needed.
