Adipose Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I wonder who's had more mods of them, Lydia or Serana? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeofaTsavo Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) I'd bet Serana. Lydia just doesn't work with the eye candy mods that end up most popular, and doesn't work with the tiny Anime lolivamp that also appear to be popular. More "vampy vamp" trope mods, from more Genre. More variety and demand for that variety. Hard to imagine demand for a full-on Goth Lydia mod lol. For me, Lydia is cast rigidly as the older, capable shield maiden, much as Mjoll, Rikke and Uthgerd. Mods that cast their appearance out of that type just don't work, and TBH I think thats why fewer are made. (and most are minor variations of the same theme). I think it is funny. With mods we can do so much, and yet the game still can somewhat dictate. Example.. there are mods that emphasize Elisif, young,pretty, blonde, thin yadda yadda. Not one that I can think of that scars up her face, muscles her up, or indicates anything but pampered uselessness. It wouldn't fit.

I suppose one could count up both but I really don't want to take the time to do that. There are, though, more than than a few mods that emphasize Lydias rather pronounced physical assets. Get that girl out of her armor and Hefner'd be trying to make a photo deal. There are also several, iIrc, that make her younger and more attractive. Myself, I go for the warrior look with one of Beans' standalone Lydia mods being my usual go to. It's unrealistic for her to be so well endowed given her profession. In fact, SJBeans may well be one of the top five character modders on the Nexus when it comes to endowing his characters with the hard, tough appearance that life in Skyrim would produce.
