📋 About This Mod
SERANA & VALERICA
DARK ALL DAY RECASTED
A Recast replacer for the vampires Serana and Valerica.
Overview
A Pantheon replacer for Serana and Valerica, the vampire mother and daughter.
This is another mod that used to be a limited release, though it was always free. I keep coming back to refine these two, since they are one of my favorite parts of the game, and I simply love vampires. The name came to me after watching the video for Gunship's song "Dark All Day," which is a fun watch if you get the chance.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 5,536 endorsements and 181k downloads.
- Body type support covers the big three: 3BA, BHUNP, and CBBE.
- ESL-flagged means it won't eat your load order slots.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects two NPCs, so if you want a broader overhaul, this isn't it.
- No gameplay changes—pure cosmetic, so don't expect new dialogue or quests.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter Serana or Valerica's appearance or AI.
For Skyrim players who want a fresh look for Serana and Valerica without messing with body mods. If you're already using 3BA or CBBE, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you want gameplay tweaks or a full NPC overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the FOMOD installer—it'll let you pick your body type.
- Make sure your body mod (3BA, BHUNP, or CBBE) is installed before this mod so the meshes align.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, the ESL flag means it won't count toward your 255 plugin limit.
