Version 1.5

This update is a reorganization of how I want to work on this mod and others going forward. Some of the changes specific to this mod are:


Custom Voice Removed
This was done because I have found a great voice actress to voice Solvi. I'm currently writing the script. Removing the Custom AI Voice version also removes the dependency on the other voice mod.

Wig Separated Into Addon
I've removed the wig version and made a Wig Addon instead. This will make it far easier for me to maintain a single version, especially when the fully voiced version is released.

Custom Animations Addon (waiting for permissions before release)
I'ev created an addon for Custom Animations (by Smooth). These require OAR (Open Animations Replacer) and SCAR.

Solvi Has A Unique Bow
To keep her consistent with the other Heartbow Rangers, Solvi now has a unique bow called Sleetfury.

New Skills
Solvi's skills and perks are now updated (details below). She is more in line with Kayle and Samandriel, but also has a new skill that I'm testing before the fully-voiced version is released.

A Note About Saved Games
This new version should be fine for updating mid-game. There might be some funny business with her wig as the ID has changed due to it being moved to the addon. Her new bow should be no issue. At worst, you will have to add the wig back into her inventory or outfit.



Welcome to the Visions version of Solvi - The Nord Heartbow Ranger. Solvi was one of my earliest followers. Her original design was taken from what I intended to use as a replacer for Njada Stone-Arm. Over the years she has changed quite a bit, but her original spirit remains the same.


  • Skin is BNP by Swefrida and Khisartin. Eyes by wammy and docteure from Eyes of Beauty Remastered.
  • New Visions series uses BNP Skin (asset hub) and your installed body. Compatible with 3BA, BHUNP, CBBE, TBD, and UNP bodies.
  • Visions mod architecture for smaller footprint and better performance. Works with obody and wetfunction.
  • ESPFE plugin to save a slot in your load order.


Solvi was once a loyal soldier for the Stormcloak faction. Trained as an archer from the time she could hold a bow in her hands, she became famous for her ability to hit targets from extreme range. During her service to the Stormcloaks, something happened that changed her outlook on the faction and the war. She disappeared for a time, but when she returned rumors began to circulate about where she had been during her absence.

Solvi had gone to train with a secret squad of archers known as The Heartbow Rangers. Their purpose in Skyrim remains hidden, but it was clear that Solvi learned even more about archery from this mysterious group. She now roams Skyrim helping people in need. Rumors have surfaced that Solvi earned her heart tattoo on her face by becoming one of the most proficient Heartbow Rangers.



Solvi is very strong at low levels. As you level up with her, she will balance out. Archers are usually easy targets for strong melee enemies. I have put skills and perks into all my Heartbow Rangers to give them a fighting chance when just using their bow. That said, they can use one-handed weapons - they just aren't as effective with them.

You can find Solvi in Rorikstead at the Frostfruit Inn.

Class: Heartbow Ranger
Features: Essential, won't break stealth, can be married.

Skills
Archery, Light Armor, Blocking, One-handed, and Stealth.

Special Perks
Defender - The powerful shots from Solvi's bow, Sleetfury, knocks back her opponents.

Special Weapon
Sleepfury - Does extra Frost Damage to the enemy.


Wig Addon
This addon will give Solvi a Wig by DINT999 as shown below. FSMP (Faster SMP-HDT) is required.



Animation Addon
This addon will give Solvi some great bow animations from Dynamic Bow Animations by Smooth. Requires OAR and SCAR (and all of their requirements). If you already use Dynamic Bow Animations, your NPCs should already be using these animations, so you don't need this addon.

  • Download the Visions Asset Pack for the body type that you use (3BA/CBBE/TBD or BHUNP/UNP). Absolutely required.
