📋 About This Mod
ABOUT
A simple replacer for Livtempleton's Kaidan. I received requests to do this when I uploaded my Lucien replacer, and the author was kind enough to give me permission to make it. I took some inspiration from my childhood (and let's face it, current and future) crush Li Shang from Mulan - but I tried not to stray too far from Kaidan's original look so that it would still feel like him.
This mod has two files.
All I have edited in the main file is the head mesh, nothing else has been touched. This means that Kaidan will look just like he already does in your game but with a slightly different facial structure.
The optional file fixes Kaidan's transparent hair that some users get with the original mod. Does not require the main file.
LEGENDARY EDITION
INSTALLATION & REQUIREMENTS
Install using a mod manager of your choice or manually extract the contents to your Data folder. Requires Kaidan 2 and its requirements.
Remember to install this after the main mod, otherwise it will be overwritten! Keep in mind that the optional file is only compatible with version 1. 1 of the original mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,475 endorsements and 166k downloads
- Keeps Kaidan's personality intact while giving him a fresh face
- Simple cosmetic change that doesn't alter gameplay
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Kaidan mod to work, so it's not standalone
- Only changes appearance, so if you want new dialogue or quests, look elsewhere
- Last updated in 2021, so may not be compatible with newer Skyrim versions or other mods
For Skyrim players who use Kaidan and want a visual refresh without changing his character. If you're not using Kaidan, this mod is useless. Skip if you're looking for gameplay additions.
