Hi, after quite some time since I made Serana, I’ve finally created a replacer for her mother, Valerica. With more mature and alluring appearance, and with SMP and regular hair options to choose from. Hope you like her, thank youuu... Please don't forget to leave an endorsement if you like the mod

Velara is a high-poly vampire follower and Valerica replacer for Skyrim SE, offering standalone, skin-only, and default body options. The follower, located in Radiant Raiment, is a Nord mage with custom spells and gear. Requires FSMP for SMP hair and CBBE for skin-only versions.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 286 endorsements and over 9k downloads.
- Flexible install options—standalone, skin-only, or default—so you can match your body mod setup.
- Custom Night Cloak spell adds a unique combat twist for a follower.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires FSMP - Faster HDT-SMP for the SMP hair version, which can be a performance hit on lower-end rigs.
- Skin-only and default options need CBBE, so if you're not on that body mod, you're locked out of those choices.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter Valerica or Radiant Raiment, since it's a replacer and adds a follower there.
For Skyrim players who want a high-quality vampire follower with a mature look and custom spells, especially if you're already using CBBE and SMP. Also great for those who want to overhaul Valerica's appearance. Skip if you prefer lightweight mods or don't want to deal with SMP dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the SMP hair version, make sure FSMP is installed and properly configured—otherwise hair will be static or broken.
- For skin-only or default options, you must have CBBE installed and build the body in Bodyslide if you want to match your preset.
- Since Velara is in Radiant Raiment, be careful if you have mods that overhaul Solitude's shops—they might conflict.
