˖★Welcome to a newer modpage for 2.0! I edited some stuff to try make it more clear for people who still want to use 1.0!★ ˖
HOLY CR*P PEOPLE. My replacers are free and all, but for the love of GOD, I RESPECTFULLY ask to NOT use my replacers as your thumbnail for OSTIM stuff. It's GENUINELY uncomfortable and just feels disrespectful. I don't want what I share to be displayed like that, it's very demotivating.
While updating Miraakle, I decided to also update Seranade as I wasn't always too happy with Seranade. Though, it was my first ever mod published,
At the time, I was overwhelmed when I received a few very kind comments about older replacer, I did a long time ago for my own use and wanted to share it eventually! (Thanks to these people for making me comfortable in sharing my creations later on!) ❤️
I then remade her again, with a new custom hair mashup to resemble her original Vanilla hairstyle with the help of KS Hairdo's by Kalilies & Stealthic! + Textures by ShinglesCat.
࣪ ˖★ Important info!
❗For users who came to download Update 2.0.
- Update 2.0 Seranade does not come with different hair versions + 1k FaceTints (you can run it through CAO tho!).
- Please keep all the assets created/used inside this mod. I don't open the assets for a reason - primarily permissions & preference hehe.
Big thanks to SerketHetyt for the screenshots again for this update!
｡♪🩸 S E R A N A D E attempts (not 100%) to stay true to the Vanilla vision of Serana, with custom hair mashups from KS Hairdo's by Kalilies & Stealthic and Vanilla Hair Remake by jg1, using Textures by ShinglesCat. The KS hairs have been 'Hair Shader Patched' (script by CakeofHonor) - meaning her hair is able to be shaded properly for magic effects + rain weathers (for ENBs). + The mod also includes edited Serana Hood meshes (Includes all hair versions).
! Hair-shader-patch has resulted in the hairs to look a little rougher, but I like it this way!
2.0 Version comes with either Vanilla skin (using your default skin textures), or custom skin w/ a bit of barely visible veiny stuff and neck bite
+ (primarily inspired by SerketHetyt's Anima Nera who set up this trend overall hihi).
The custom skin is based on BnP Female Skin by Khisartin & Fridam on CBBE bodies!
If this isn't your vision of Serana, that's okay! I created her based off of my own modlist, and we all have our own style of NPCs for our modlists. There are plenty of
other great Serana replacers (an ABUNDANCE of it) out there!
Please do be respectful in the comments. I'm strict in keeping up a safe space, and I don't mind hiding stuff that I don't find pleasant ❤️
Hard Requirements:
-None
Soft Requirements:
- USSEP Optional, the plugin forwards USSEP records, but does not require it.
+ B.E.E.S if on older versions than 1.6.11x
(2.0 version) FOMOD installer featuring a few options to choose from:
★ Choose between two versions: Vampire or Cured.
★ Stats & Heights Tweaks
★ Vanilla Skin (your default skin textures) or Custom Skin textures.
★ Stats & Heights Tweaks
★ Choose which patches you want:
Daughter of Coldharbour - Serana Valerica Combat Overhaul (MCO ADXP)
Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes
★ Choose between two versions: Vampire and Cured state

★ 1k facetints
★ Stats & Heights Tweaks
★ Choose which patch(es) you want:
Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes
❗After curing her, I recommend / you should re-run the FOMOD to install her cured state. While she will change from her 'Vampire state' (switching eyes more like), her eyes will still glow (Miley Cyrus glow) + her vampire teeth will still be in-tact.
Interested in the technical stuff? Of course you are:
Why is this? Well, because whatever FaceGen the NPC uses, will be used. The way Serana gets her cured eyes is through TEXTURE PATHS change for her eyes to change to default blue (+Bethesda didn't give her vampire teeth to begin with).
1. Could I make a version without her eyes glow + vampire teeth so this once-in-a-life-time-event can work without issues?
Yes, but I don't want to - it's not my vision to have no vampire teeth and no glow for Vampire version hehe.
+ You can just change the cured version's eyes with vampire ones on your own, if you prefer it that way. Very easy to do w/ some renaming!
2. How about changing her whole head through some magic trick script idk?
God, I would freaking love that mod if it existed.
3. But it will mess up with EasyNPC/whatever NPC tool?
I don't use it, but I highly doubt it. The plugin is the same, and so is the hairparts/headparts names for 2.0 version (at least). If you don't want to re-run the FOMOD, simply manually install and replace the FaceGen and FaceTints with Cured state instead.
The plugin was created in SSEEDIT (CK hates me atm) and is ESL.
USSEP records were forwarded, but USSEP is not required.
Note: I created this replacer in the 1.6.640 version (Plugin v.1.70), and it should work regardless of the new update.
NB! Please do double-check if everything was properly installed on your end. I've tested out +
Serana's Hood Fix with Animation - should be compatible.
Daughter of Coldharbour - Serana Valerica Combat Overhaul (MCO ADXP) - compatible with patch.
Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes - compatible with patch.
Serana Dialogue Add-On - should be compatible. (I don't use the mod, though it doesn't seem to touch NPC records).
Serana Dialogue Edit - should be compatible.
Any other Serana NPC Replacer - incompatible unless you overwrite!
Make sure that 'Seranade - A Serana Replacer.esp' is loaded AFTER any plugins that edit her NPC record.
Overwrite ANY facegen meshes/textures that it conflicts with to avoid dark face bug.
Still having problems? I can try help! Just don't be sassy!
1. Skin replacers matter! (1.0 version) ⋆˙⟡♡
1.0 Version was made with BnP - Female skin (Mature 1.7 normals) in mind by Fridam & Khisartin.
- The mod will use your installed skin (or vanilla skin) by default.
- Therefore, she might not look how she is 'supposed' to look on your setup.
2. ENB Setups & Reshaders look different for everyone! ⋆˙⟡♡
As with most NPC replacers, the NPCs will always look different for everyone - considering ENBs and shaders!
- The hairs may look too shiny in some ENBs if your [Imagespace] and / or [Wetsurfaces] have high values for certain parameters.
- Sometimes, they don't always look so great / I might have catfished you, but not really ❤️
My ENB is a mess of edits/tweaks off of other ENB tweaks with a personal reshade preset.Cabbage ENB for NAT 3 Weather
+ mashup of Rudy ENB for NAT 3 (for certain cells and worldspaces)
❌Please do not upload my mod as a standalone - both publicly and privately.
❌You are not allowed to use/modify her and her assets, outside of this mod and/or upload it as your own - both publicly and privately.
❌I don't give permission to publish skypatcher versions of switching her face to another NPC (even if my mod is required). It's a bit off-putting -- Do it for personal use if you want though!
- Of course, you are allowed to modify her for your own personal use!
✅You are allowed to create patches! (If it comes to making her almost standalone, feel free to contact me about questions!)
★ I'm open for edits if something is amiss - amiss, as in if I had accidentally messed up some head meshes or plugin changes.
★ However, I won't make a whole new replacer for you if there are certain nitpicks you don't like/wish to integrate or remove! (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)
Finally,
I'm a person who enjoys modding Skyrim on her freetime, along with training to become big buff Nord at the gym with a 9-5 job. Therefore, I might be very bad at replying at once! Sorry about that! ( • ᴖ • ｡)

DarkFox127 - For all the great tutorial videos he publishes on YouTube. After 4 years of modding on my own, his videos have been very helpful in navigating and understanding Creation Kit and FOMOD processes.
SerketHetyt - For the screenshots as always, the one-on-one tutorial for creating custom skin textures and just being a wonderful friend that I've met through here!
The ppl I've met through here - I was always scared of this community in general
+ The people who always shows any type of support of my hobbyist-work hehe - I always wanted to try share my creations, but am usually overcome by anxiety, so I really thank you all for the small kindness that lights up the dark world I perceive too much sometimes ! ( • • ｡) ❤️
