📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a powerful Dwemer made Android Follower to your game.
She is waiting for you in a dwarf hangar built near Ruins of Bthalft.
Her strength assumes an environment with the many combat system improvement mods that have been released in Difficulty: Legendary.
Her offensive strength is not that great. Her defensive strength is tremendous.
How to combine her weapons and armor is indicated in the game.
There are facilities in her residence that allow her to enhance her weapons and armor.
Her equipment can be equipped by the player, but it is optimized for her and will not fit.
A bodyslide file is included to allow the player to select the armor and body shape of her torso. However, some of the armor will not follow the slider and will remain fixed.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 380 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Unique concept: a Dwemer android follower with a defensive focus, perfect for tanky support.
- Bodyslide support lets you tweak her look to your preference, though some armor pieces are fixed.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or newer mods.
- Her low offensive power means she won't be dishing out damage—she's a tank, not a killer.
- Heavily dependent on other mods (like XPMSSE, CBBE, and various textures) which could cause conflicts if you don't have them set up right.
For Skyrim players who want a tanky, lore-friendly-ish companion that can soak up damage while you deal it, especially if you're running combat overhauls on Legendary. If you're looking for a damage-dealing follower or prefer vanilla-friendly companions, this might not be your cup of tea.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have XPMSSE and CBBE installed before adding this mod, or her body might glitch out.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the install, and run Bodyslide to build her armor if you want custom shapes.
- Since she's designed for Legendary difficulty with combat mods, test her in a low-stakes fight first to see how she holds up.
