Trueblood Serana
Trueblood V2 Previews!
How can an already amazing Serana Replacer become even better?
Simple. Take a look!
- Refined facial features: Lowered eyebrows, tweaked eye shape, reshaped nose, and a more contoured face with a subtly inset chin.
- Updated facetints: Both Vampire and Cured versions have new facetints. The eye makeup is inspired by Koralina's Makeup Tweaks, and the freckles are from Koralina's Freckles and Moles. Now, the freckles are part of the facetints, with the vampire version featuring very light freckles.
- Consistent changes across all hairstyles and eye options. Hooray for more customization!
Trueblood V2 is currently out on early access on my Patreon!
What Does This Mod Do?
Trueblood Serana is the official visual overhaul sponsored by SDA, presenting a modern, lore-friendly reimagining of Skyrim's most captivating vampire. This mod, designed in tandem with the Serana Dialogue Add-On (SDA), transforms Serana's look while retaining her signature aura. Beyond the default makeover, dive deep into personalization. Choose from high-definition skin textures, three eye variants, and three distinct hairstyles, including the fan-favorite Seranaholic Classic. Whether you choose the glamorous Bijin Skin sheen from renowned artist rxkx22 or a more realistic BnP texture, your decisions ensure Serana mirrors your envisioned companion.
Every element is thoughtfully designed to blend within the Skyrim universe, ensuring an authentic, immersive experience. And as the SDA's dialogue evolution was spotlighted in Forbes, Trueblood Serana aims to set a new standard for your visual escapades with the Daughter of Coldharbour.
P.S.: "Lore-friendly" can be subjective. With years behind the leading dialogue mod for Serana, I offer a deeply informed take on her design. But every player's view is valid. Test out Trueblood Serana and see for yourself. I hope you sense the passion in each detail!

Compatibility
Trueblood Serana cannot be used concurrently with other Serana replacers such as Seranaholic or ReImagined. It's a tough choice, picking among these three gems! Additionally, if any mod (that isn't a replacer) modifies Serana's NPC record, you'll need to create a compatibility patch or seek assistance in crafting one.
However, Trueblood Serana pairs perfectly with SDA. In fact, it's highly recommended to use them together for a comprehensive experience!
Install Instructions
1. Install how you normally would with your mod manager of choice. Make sure the esp is enabled before you start the game.
2. Generate Bodyslides for your installed body preset of choice (CBBE, 3BA, BHUNP Supported). // Only for Version A. You don't need to use this with Version B.
3. (Optional) When installing with the SDA Spell Toggle Expanded Patch from the SDA Patch Hub, tick the "Trueblood Serana" option.
Update Instructions
Just replace the old version with the new one.
Load Order
Any should be fine, as long as this mod wins any and all NPC record conflicts. If you're using patches, make sure they load after Trueblood and nothing overwrites those as well.
