✨ Key Features

Adds a standalone Nord follower named Ria, not a replacement of the Companion Ria.
Follower is essential and marriageable, with perks in One-handed, Heavy Armor, Sneak, Conjuration (100), Destruction (75), and Restoration (70).
Ria can be found in Whiterun during the day and at The Bannered Mare at night.
Uses default body, so it works with whatever body mod you have installed.
ESL-flagged as of version 3.2.4, requiring a new game if updating from previous versions.
Credits include popular mods like CBBE, UNP 7Base Oppai, and KS Hairdos.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid follower mod with 479 endorsements and over 12k downloads, so it's got a track record.
  • Ria's a powerhouse in magic and melee, with maxed Conjuration and high Destruction and Restoration.
  • Being ESL-flagged means it won't count against your mod limit, which is a nice bonus for load order management.

⚠️ Cons

  • The version 3.2.4 update is a save-killer if you're coming from an older version — you'll need to start a new game, no exceptions.
  • The mod hasn't been updated since November 2022, so it might not be actively maintained for the latest game patches.
  • Since it uses your body mod, you might see visual glitches if you switch body mods mid-playthrough.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a dedicated, powerful magic-focused follower without the hassle of a full companion overhaul. If you're into roleplaying or just need a reliable ally in Whiterun, Ria's a solid pick. Skip if you're not willing to start a new game if you're updating from an older version.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're updating from a pre-3.2.4 version, back up your save and start a new game to avoid corruption.
  • Since Ria uses your body mod, make sure you have a compatible body mod like CBBE or UNP installed for best visuals.
  • You can find Ria in Whiterun during the day or at The Bannered Mare at night, so check both spots if you can't find her.
