📋 About This Mod
ABOUT
This mod comes in two flavors; a Serana replacer and a standalone follower. Both characters come with a FOMOD installer with multiple cosmetic options. Serana uses the body and skin you have installed. If you want her eyes to be a different color, there is an installer over at Lamae's Gaze that lets you customize the eyes of my vampire replacers and followers.
The follower version, Malora, is a nord vampire mage who can be found in the Nightgate Inn. She uses the sultry voice and is both essential and marriable. Like all my vampire followers, she is also fully compatible with mods like Bloodthirst.
ABOUT THE NEW UPDATE: I have only updated Serana and not Malora. I might get to that at some point, but it's a very low priority for me because the changes I made are minor.
LEGENDARY EDITION
COMPATIBILITY
Incompatible with all other mods that changes Serana's appearance. Reported to work fine with both Serana Dialogue Edit and Marriable Serana.
INSTALLATION & REQUIREMENTS
Install using a mod manager of your choice, but I don't recommend installing this manually unless you know what you're doing. I recommend Relationship Dialogue Overhaul to make the most out of Malora's voice type, but it is not required.
FAQ
Q: Can you add/change/remove something?
A: Not unless there is an actual problem with my mod. This is my vision and I'm happy with it. I will absolutely not make any special versions for strangers on the internet. Please keep in mind that I do this for free and I have other things to do with my time than cater to other people's specific tastes. That being said, I will most likely add some more options in the future.
Q: Help, she doesn't look right!
A: Rearrange your load order, put this mod near the bottom, or reinstall. Take a look at your load order to see if any of your other mods might be incompatible with this one. Feel free to ask for help in the comments, but please save us both some time and do some troubleshooting on your own first!
Q: I cured Serana and she still looks like a vampire!
A: A: Rerun the installer and choose a human option during the hairstyle choice.
Q: Can I use both Serana and Malora together?

Pandorable's Serana is a highly popular NPC overhaul mod for Skyrim that replaces Serana's appearance with a more beautiful and detailed version, as hinted by the quote. With nearly 10,000 endorsements and over half a million downloads, it's a community favorite for players seeking a visual upgrade for the Dawnguard companion.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with nearly 10k endorsements—this is a must-try for Serana fans.
- Massive download numbers (over half a million) mean it's battle-tested and widely used.
- Recently updated (Feb 2024), so it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Serana's appearance; no gameplay or quest changes.
- Requires compatibility with other mods that alter Serana—potential conflicts if you use multiple overhauls.
For Skyrim players who want a prettier Serana without changing her personality or quests. If you're into visual overhauls and spend time in Dawnguard content, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for gameplay tweaks or don't care about NPC aesthetics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod and let it overwrite any other Serana replacers to avoid conflicts.
- Check your load order—place this mod after other mods that modify Serana to ensure her face isn't overwritten.
- If you use a body mod like CBBE, this mod may not include body meshes, so pair it with a compatible body replacer for consistency.
