I really wonder why a website as popular as the Nexus, which is the most prominent mod community, doesn’t really have a “spouses” category.
I was trying to find some cool spouse mods for my characters and I struggled to come across any that I liked. But given all the effort I put into that research, I figured why not share it with you kind Skyrim fans?
So this list covers all my personal favorite mods on relationships, marriage, and family time for TES Skyrim.
It might’ve taken me hours to put this together, but don’t worry – it’ll only take you a few minutes to read it and decide which of these mods you want.
And this post includes male spouses for Skyrim as well as female spouses for Skyrim, so it’s got a little something for everyone.
In any case, be sure to check out each character and try out the ones you like the most. Some of them are even fully voiced!
This is the only mod on my list that doesn’t add any new spouses to the game.
But I still find it quite fitting because it’s truly going to improve your marriage experience by a landslide.
First of all, this mod allows you to have multiple spouses.
Which seems like a fitting thing to do in a world that aims to resemble how the Nords where in the days of old.
I’m pretty sure Bethesda didn’t add this feature because of moral reasons. But worry not – modders are far from the most moral people on Earth (looking at you, weirdo mod makers).
That’s not all you will get with this mod either.
The marriage mod also aims to fix many of the bugs that marriage has in base-game Skyrim, improving little tweaks that you’ll notice as you play with it.
Now it doesn’t matter if you want to marry multiple people at once or just make marriage feel better – this is the mod to get.
This mod has one of the least original names that I’ve ever seen.
The name is so dull that I almost chose not to try it, but it’s very popular with the community. So I caved and installed this sucker.
Honestly, I’m thankful that I did.
I think it’s kinda racist that all marriable characters tend to be humanoids. Reptilians deserve some love as well – especially because they’re probably behind the creation of a New World Order (right?)
In any case, it’s time for the game to have a proper Argonian spouse. This is the mod to add it! Among a few other aragonian mods.
Now this mod alters the look of Brelyna to make her look more appealing as a wife.
The mod uses the Better Bodies mod to improve the appearance of the character, as well as some facial modification mods. You might even try combining this with other beauty mods to really revamp Skyrim.
She’s a vampire that you can marry or keep around as a follower. But either way, the creator of the mod decided to make her look quite beautiful right from the start.
And I know what you’re going to do with this mod, so just make sure your door is locked first!
Avelyn is probably the hottest character on this list and one that truly serves her purpose of being a powerful companion.
She’s a warrior and will help you fight off any foes that you might encounter. But she’s also quite good at protecting herself (and yourself) from attacks.
She can block, stab, slice, but most importantly, she can smash.
Listen, I won’t lie to you. Vilja is an interesting character.
But she can be extremely annoying at times.
In fact, sometimes you’re going to be wishing that she had a mute button.
In other words, Vilja is the perfect wife experience that you’ll find in Skyrim!
Aside from that extremely chauvinist joke, she’s a pretty useful character that’ll serve as a great companion in your adventures.
She has a goal of her own, though. And one that she’ll be looking to achieve by your side if you let her tag along.
She’s a bard and one of the most interesting voiced characters that I’ve come across in many years of adding mods to Skyrim.
So it’s truly a mod that I can recommend to anyone. She’s a great companion for females or males – regardless of whether you intend to marry her or not.
I know what you’re thinking and the answer is no; I haven’t added this mod to the first spot on my list solely because the character is made to look like a supermodel.
In fact, Sofia is one of the best character mods in the game. And that’s not only because the girl is smoking hot.
Which she is.
Sofia is fully voice acted and provides you with a unique experience every time you interact with her.
Even if you choose not to marry her for some crazy reason, having Sofia as a companion is a pretty cool way to spice up your adventure.
As I said, the character is fully voiced. Imagine the fun you can have with that!
