🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Adds Ryleigh, a high-poly or standard Nord necromancer follower to Skyrim Special Edition. She is a marriable conjuration mage who levels with you, found in Windhelm's Hall of the Dead. Requires Dawnguard DLC and High Poly Heads for the high-poly version. ESL-flagged to avoid plugin limit.

✨ Key Features

Adds Ryleigh, a Nord necromancer follower with YoungEager voice type.
Two versions: High Poly (requires High Poly Heads) and Standard.
Marriable and levels with you indefinitely.
Uses your body and skin textures, so she fits your setup.
Combat style is Conjuration Mage with necromancy and drain spells.
ESL-flagged, so she won't count towards your plugin limit.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 395 endorsements and over 8,400 downloads.
  • ESL-flagged means you can add her without worrying about the 255 plugin cap.
  • She uses your body and skin textures, so she'll match your visual setup perfectly.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Dawnguard DLC, so if you don't own it, she's a no-go.
  • High Poly version needs High Poly Heads, which is an extra dependency to manage.
  • She starts naked, so you'll need to gear her up yourself—might not be for everyone.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a dedicated necromancer follower with a bit of personality and no plugin overhead. Great if you're already using High Poly Heads and want a visually consistent companion. Skip if you don't have Dawnguard or prefer followers with custom armor and quests.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using the High Poly version, double-check that High Poly Heads is installed and loaded before this mod, or you'll get face issues.
  • She's in the Hall of the Dead in Windhelm—look for a female Nord with a necromancer vibe.
  • Since she uses your body and skin textures, install your preferred body mod and skin texture first for best results.
