FAQ
How do I fix the Neckgap?
Open console command, select the npc. Type in setnpcweight 100 , then follow up by typing disable and enable. Ta-da! Neck gap is gone
How do I Fix Black Face Bug?
1. Make sure my ESP is loaded last in your load order and my files are winning all conflicts.
2. Or manually patch in xEdit.
I do not recommend Face Discoloration Fix as it's a bandaid fix, it doesn't actually resolve the conflict causing the issue.
To make sure your load order is stable and my replacer works as intended just follow the steps above.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 681 endorsements and nearly 450k downloads
- Keeps the original feel while giving the Shield Sisters a fresh look
- Simple cosmetic mod that doesn't mess with gameplay
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects three NPCs, so if you want more overhauls, this is limited

For Skyrim players who want the Companions' Shield Sisters to look better without changing their core identity. If you're into NPC overhauls and want a subtle, lore-friendly touch, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a full NPC overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- Check if you have other mods that alter Aela, Ria, or Njada, as they may conflict.
- Load order usually doesn't matter for pure appearance replacers, but placing it after other NPC mods can help.
