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
📊 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.
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.
💡 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.
