📋 About This Mod
Pride of Skyrim 3
Men of The Companions
Files are now ESL Flagged.
Yeah, yeah, I know there are like a gazillion mods for the Companions, but I'm picky, OK. That's just a nice way of putting it. Really the only reason I did this is that I love my twins, but I can't just do those two. I had to do all the men because you know...picky. Anyway, I hope you like them. If you see any problems, stop by and let me know, but please keep the complaining down to a minimum. I strive hard to do a good job and will do what I can to fix whatever I can. Even better, show the boys some love.
Please endorse if you love this mod or if it's not causing insurmountable pain.

1. APPEARANCES: There are NO skin textures attached to this mod. That means you will have to suffer atrocious vanilla skin textures if you download. The good news is, it will accept any skin mod you wish to use. Please be aware that your NPCs will look a bit different than mine using different skin textures. I also use Silent Horizons ENB and Cathedral Weathers, so images may look different from mine.
2. ANIMATIONS: I created these using High Poly Head V4. It will need Expressive Facegen Morphs and Expressive Facial Animation Male. High Poly Head is baked into the mod, but not the animations. With that said, some have used this mod without them with no problems. If you find beard clipping or weird eyes, install these mods. If not, you should be fine.
3. EDITING: Please do not ask me to change appearances or remove tattoos, or ask me to remove NPCs. I won't do it and you can't make me. Please... just stop asking. Thank you!
4. LOAD ORDER: These do NOT work with other NPC mods that change the appearance of the men of the Companions. NPCs should go down towards the end of your load order.
5. REQUIREMENTS: You will need to have USSEEP downloaded. Seriously, everyone should have this by now. It just makes my life a heck of a lot simpler that I don't have to do patches and extra files.
6. All the men in the images use Tempered Skins with SOS Light, KS Hairdos, Apachii Skyhair, and HC Hairdos.
Mods to avoid:
Same NPC overhauls - blackface issues
Mods that change the body size - neck seam issues (floating heads)
Improved Eye Reflections (Oldrim) - cataract looking eyes

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 662 endorsements and over 11k downloads
- ESL-flagged, so it won't eat your mod limit
- Works with any skin mod, so you can tailor the look to your setup
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Expressive Facegen Morphs and Expressive Facial Animation Male for full effect, adding extra dependencies
- Incompatible with other NPC overhauls that touch the male Companions, so you'll have to pick one
- No skin textures included, so you'll see vanilla textures unless you install a skin mod
For Skyrim players who want a more polished, high-poly look for the male Companions without overhauling the entire game. It's perfect if you're already using High Poly Head and want consistency. Skip if you prefer a complete NPC overhaul that includes textures or if you don't want to manage extra animation mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this mod near the end of your load order to ensure it overrides other NPC changes.
- If you see beard clipping or weird eyes, install the required animation mods—they're essential for the high-poly head to work properly.
- Since it's ESL-flagged, you can safely use it with other mods that don't touch the male Companions, but avoid any other Companion overhauls.
