✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 585 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Packed with content: follower, house, and dungeon in one mod.
- MCM gives you real control over follower stats and house occupancy.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE patches.
- The disposition system can be finicky—random increases/decreases might frustrate players seeking predictable progression.
- Non-HDT hair means less physics flair compared to HDT-enabled mods.
For Skyrim SE players who want a follower with depth, a cozy player home, and a bit of dungeon crawling all in one package. If you enjoy follower management and MCM customization, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or vanilla-style mods, as the disposition system and auto-undress bath add a quirky layer.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the MCM after installing to tweak Ayana's stats and disable the shelter's actors if you want it as a player-only home.
- Since it's a port from Oldrim, ensure you have the latest Skyrim SE patches and consider using a mod manager to avoid overwrite issues.
- The disposition system is tied to your Speech skill—leveling Speech makes it easier to raise her disposition.
