📋 About This Mod
Swordswoman follower. Like, the female equivalent of swordsman. High poly, Standalone. ESP-FE.
MXT Xiao Ling is a standalone follower mod for Skyrim Special Edition, featuring an Imperial-based preset with CBBE 3BA and BHUNP body support. The mod is flagged as ESP-FE to save plugin slots. As of the 2025 update, Xiao Ling is included in the MXT Followers AIO pack, which bundles 20 followers with shared resources. The standalone version remains available for those who prefer a single follower.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 463 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- ESP-FE flag means you save a plugin slot—great for load order hoarders.
- Body support for both CBBE 3BA and BHUNP covers the two big body mod camps.
⚠️ Cons
- The standalone version is being folded into the AIO pack, so you might get redundant files if you install both.
- Presets require a bunch of external mods (outfit, hair, etc.) to match the screenshots—more setup than a simple follower.
- If you're not using an Imperial race base, the preset may not look as intended (YMMV).
For Skyrim players who want a well-crafted follower with modern body support and don't mind a bit of setup for the full look. Also great for modders who want a preset to tweak. Skip if you prefer followers that are plug-and-play with no extra requirements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is ESP-FE, you can safely place it anywhere in your load order, but keep it after body mods like CBBE or BHUNP.
- If you want the exact look from the screenshots, grab the recommended outfit and hair mods listed in the description—otherwise she'll use vanilla gear.
- The preset files are optional; you only need them if you plan to use Xiao Ling's face as a character preset.
