Numerous Nords adds three standalone Nord followers to Skyrim: Aneris, a lightning mage in Ivarstead; Mavlis, a two-handed warrior in Whiterun; and Thenis, an ice mage/necromancer in Falkreath. Requires XPMSSE and CBP/CBPC physics. A simple follower mod with 384 endorsements, last updated in 2020.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Three distinct followers with different combat styles and locations, giving you variety without bloating your load order.
- Decent community support with 384 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads, so it's been tested by a good number of players.
- Standalone followers mean they don't mess with vanilla NPCs, so compatibility with other mods is less of a headache.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires XPMSSE and CBP/CBPC physics, which adds extra dependency management and potential conflicts with other skeleton or physics mods.
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or newer mods that have changed skeleton requirements.
- The description is sparse on details like follower level scaling, marriage options, or unique dialogue, so you're getting basic followers without much depth.
For Skyrim players who want a few extra follower options with distinct looks and combat roles without heavy scripting. If you're into visual polish and don't mind installing dependencies, this adds some nice variety. Skip if you're looking for followers with deep backstories or custom quests—this is purely cosmetic and functional.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have XPMSSE and CBP/CBPC installed before adding this mod, and load them before Numerous Nords in your mod order.
- Since the mod is manual-install friendly, you can just drop the Data folder into your Skyrim directory, but using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 is safer for uninstalling.
- If you use an ENB, enable Facelight to make the followers look their best—without it, they might appear darker in interiors.
