📋 About This Mod
Nilara is an Alteration/Destruction Mage. I originally made her because Dark Elves are the party poopers of Skyrim. They are generally very stuffy and stern, so I made her to seem upbeat, easy-going, and optimistic. She uses a bizarre combination of magic and a weird sense of humor to bring the pain. She can be found in Dead Man's Drink in Falkreath.

Quick Rundown:
-She is flagged as Essential.
-She can be married.
-She won't affect stealth.
-She uses the female young eager voice.
-She couldn't care less about crime.
-She can be summoned by either a spell or power.
-She has no requirements for recruitment. Just talk to her.
-Her war axe is enchanted, but never needs recharging.
She does not have her own body meshes or textures. She will use your installed female body and skin. This means that you can change her armor/clothes without seeing a dramatic change in her body shape or any wrist, ankle, or neck deformities.
Her spells are entertaining to say the least.
Her first unique spell is called Thump. It produces a forceful blast that rag-dolls enemies and sends them flying. Anyone close enough to the impact point not only gets blasted away, but they also take damage over time from internal injuries. People slightly farther away, will be severely staggered.
Her second unique spell is called Shocking Display. It is a combination of a tuned up Lightning Bolt and an effect similar to the Ring of Disrobing from the Saints and Seducers creation. In other words, it removes clothing/armor from her targets. If you have mods that enable nudity, you will see people fighting naked. Otherwise, they will be in their undies. You should think about who is in the room with you before recruiting Nilara. You've been warned.
Additionally, don't bother reporting this mod for not being tagged "Adult". This same magic effect is native to the Anniversary Edition of the game.
*Her third (somewhat) unique spell is a combination of Ebony Flesh and Mass Paralysis. Periodically, in combat she will reactivate her mage armor and create a large paralysis area effect.
She starts out at level 10 and levels up with the player.
She can be summoned anywhere by either a spell or lesser power. Both tomes are in her inventory. To get them, just recruit her as a follower and choose the dialog option to trade with her.
She also has the spell tomes for Thump and Shocking Display in her inventory.
Nilara, like all of my followers, has been tuned for high-level game play on legendary difficulty. She is quite powerful, especially when she uses Thump to smack everyone around.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 137 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads
- ESL-flagged means it won't eat your load order slots
- Uses your existing body and skin mods, so she'll match your setup
⚠️ Cons
- No custom body or skin included, so she'll look plain if you don't have those mods
- Summon-based follower might feel less immersive than a traditional recruit
- Compatibility risk with other follower mods that alter the same NPC or use similar summon systems
For Skyrim players who want a custom Dunmer follower without the hassle of manual body/skin integration. If you're into High-Poly Head presets and like summonable companions, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer fully voiced, quest-integrated followers with unique gear.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have High-Poly Head installed, as the preset relies on it.
- Since she uses your body and skin, install your preferred body/skin mods first for best results.
- Use the summon spell to test her appearance before committing to her as a follower.
