About this mod
Leyla is a recruitable standalone follower. She's very barebones with limited voiced dialogue, but at the very least, she can fight.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
If you use a settlement scrapping mod like Spring Cleaning by Nverjos, you're going to want to install this Spring Cleaning Compatibility Patch by VlitS since installing Leyla resets the Abernathy Farm settlement to vanilla scrapping capabilities.
This is technically my first mod. I simply made this upon a request, but I don't believe there should be any issues. If you would like a LooksMenu preset for Leyla, I've uploaded it here.
To recruit her, simply talk to her and tell her to follow you. You can also dismiss her and move her to one of your settlements where she can work. You may re-hire her to follow you by simply talking to her again and telling her to follow you.
Just open it with NMM and enable it.
Manual Install:
- Save the file to your computer and open the archive. From the archive:
- Copy the "Leyla the Companion.esp" file into your local "/Fallout 4/Data/" folder.
- *Copy the contents of the "Sound/Voice/" folder into your local "/Fallout 4/Data/Sound/Voice" folder. You should be copying a single folder named "Leyla the Companion.esp" (the ".esp" is part of the folder name).
- *Copy the contents of the "scripts/Fragments/Quests/" folder into your local "/Fallout 4/Data/scripts/Fragments/Quests/" folder.
- *Copy the contents of the "scripts/Fragments/TopicInfos/" folder into your local "/Fallout 4/Data/scripts/Fragments/TopicInfos/" folder.
Right click "Leyla the Companion" on NMM and delete.
Manual Uninstall:
- Delete the "Leyla the Companion.esp" file in your local "/Fallout 4/Data/" folder.
- Go into your local "/Fallout 4/Data/Sound/Voice" folder and delete the folder named "Leyla the Companion.esp" (the ".esp" is part of the folder name).
- Go into your local "/Fallout 4/Data/scripts/Fragments/Quests/" folder and delete the file with the file name that starts with "QF_COMLeylaQuest_".
- Go into your local "/Fallout 4/Data/scripts/Fragments/TopicInfos/" folder and delete the file with the file name that starts with "TIF_COMLeylaQuest_".

I will use the knowledge I've gained in creating this companion to create others. Leyla is certainly not going to be the only companion I will release here. Stay tuned for more.
Bugs & Issues
- When installing with Mod Organizer, it may cause the application to crash. I recommend installing manually in these cases.
