Skyrim Doll Mod
Prisc Chandola
Additional Hearthfire Dolls requires a patch in order for the Legacy of the Dragonborn SSE displays to work properly. The patches can be found on Legacy of the Dragonborn Patches (Official) SE.
Additionally, a bashed patch is recommended.
Additional Hearthfire Dolls is a mod that adds collectible dolls to Skyrim, each with a passive effect. There are currently 42 dolls with two display cases located in the Safehouse, on the second floor. The Child's Doll from the base game is displayable alongside the added dolls.
Despite being more than a decade old at this point, Skyrim is still going strong, still beloved by millions the world over. Much of that can be attested to the fan base, particularly those that showcase their dedication to the game through creative endeavors. There are many interesting fan-made Elder Scrolls art projects, as well as mods that tweak and improve the game. In this instance, the partner of one player has taken a particularly devilish NPC and turned them into a somewhat creepy, though still adorable, doll.
Uploading an image to the Skyrim Subreddit recently, user brianfroud is proud to showcase this cool looking figure their partner created, which depicts the Daedric Prince that players encounter during a particularly memorable quest. The detail in the doll is quite spectacular, showing the intricacies of the character's face, hair, and Daedra armor. They even show them holding the infamous Sanguine Rose that players can achieve during the side quest.
The comments are filled with praises for the creator with one user even going so far as to say they thought it looked like a "child dressed up for Halloween," the level of detail is so great. The character Sanguine forms the major part of the quest 'A Night to Remember' in which players take part in a drinking contest with Sam Guevenne. The player then wakes up later in the Temple of Dibella in Marketh, and it transpires that Sam was the aforementioned Daedric Prince in disguise.
Upon completing the quest, players will receive the Daedric artifact the Sanguine Rose, a useful staff that is, as the name suggests, shaped exactly like a large rose. The image of the doll that brianfroud posted in the Reddit thread depicts this magnificently. All-in-all, the doll may appear a little eerie at first, as some commenters have mentioned, but it's a stunning piece of work with a lot of effort put into it. The user even says that there is the possibility that more may be on the way, as doll making is something their partner does.
The Daedra forms an interesting part of the lore in Skyrim, and in fact throughout the majority of the Elder Scrolls series. They are regarded as powerful gods and beings, usually inhabiting the world's version of hell, Oblivion. It's therefore intriguing, and a little amusing, that someone has taken one of these dangerous characters and reduced them to a fraction of their normal size, and in a pretty cute fashion as well. Although it is still a little bit creepy, but in a good way.

Okaaaay so, I am (in a way) newbie of the fandom, however, I have seen everything about these people - ranging from happy ship of the two to the creepy mysogynist Gehrman ideas, so I needed to do my own research on what the heck could have happened here! As always, I am going to use excerpts from original Japanese script (provided by Last Protagonist's document (x) to avoid 'translators done goofed' effect, besides this time it IS kinda important), so if you see cranky-worded versions of familiar descs that's why.
So, what we can confirm for sure is that for some reason, killing Lady Maria makes Doll feel relieved... Which, besides her connection to Maria via appearance she's based off, creates strange mental link. But also what I find very interesting is that when we approach Lady Maria, she appears to be in a napping position herself - until we approach her close enough for her to grab us and the battle to start. Yet, we also catch Doll napping at times - something dolls are not supposed to do, as beings without 'our' physical needs, yet she does nap...
(I dunno about a good way to bring this up, but yeah, in the second stage she taps at her blood powers despite not liking them, and even her 'art of quickening' mist becomes red rather than white, so I opt out to take it as her having a fraction of this power of being undead at least in consciousness + weird blood powers as the fact that her consciousness being able to transcend dimensions with whatever happened to her dead body, and split between the doll and Maria as caretaker of Nightmare version of the research hall is interesting on its own)
This field is up to interpretation though! Whether the Doll is a fraction of original alive Lady Maria, or her own person as AI representative, both can work for a great point! I personally opt out for 'a person whose consciousness was split' version for emotional appleal.
Well... Gehrman indeed was the first hunter, as his title suggests. I made a post about this already, but to condence it - whereas hunters of Ludwig's kind seemed to be "honorable spartans" following some sort of common chilvary with both morals and weapons (weapons such as Ludwig's Holy Blade and Ludwig's Riffle seriously ring the 'unification' bell for me, as well as people ridiculing Simon for his choice of bowblade), Gehrman seemed to not care? Old Hunters bunch are very various people - the "forbidden" beast eater, Maria from literal Cainhurst, Djura presumed the leader of the Powder Kegs, an executioner, Josef who used weapons of irreverent Izzy (actually, apostate rather that irreverent according to OG script) so there is no agreement to the Church... It seems like he opted out to not judge. Whatever your background or motivation is, if you can kill - that's what's matters. Very grim approach, however, 'use YOUR talent, not the talent society dictates you should have' is generally a good approach, he coulda made way better kind of a teacher if he was not teacher of the hunters.
The tear stone is something the Doll sheds when we giver her a hair ornament. The 'gentle consolation' thingy, in original, refered to as 'shizukana hagemashi ni nite'. Moreso translated as '(quitet) encouragement' or 'cheering up' rather than 'consolation', but the connotation stays... It creates the feeling of wish to be 'supported' and maybe being 'forgiven' from the Doll that completely replicates Maria, yet it did not happen.
So... Basically, 'warmth' in her responce is refered to as '温かさを感じます' (Atatakasa o kanjimasu'), so, 'I feel the warmth'. Emphasis here is placed on 温かさ (aitakasa), warmth. Meanwhile, when we refer to the implied warmth Gehrman put into clothes for the Doll he was creating, we see the '温かい' (Atatakai), a bit more elaborate form associated moreso with hot tea or blanket or something like that you get it. There is no direct semantical connotation to the small hair ornament or so, just the fact that he cared for it very much - presumably because of the person who owned it. However, both clothes of the Doll in the waking/real world and the hair ornament "emit warmth" because of Gehrman caring for them deeply, so that's interesting.
We all know that Gehrman says that you can use 'even the doll, should it please you' in a dream, in that uncomfortable whispery tone, as if he does not want to be heard. I see it as sort of a cornerstone to why Gehrman is seen as a sexist/mysogynist character, and all else falls besides, but, here is a kicker!
No even the weird tone change. So yeah, whereas western fans had a very easy time taking his commentary as that doll had the... well... 'interesting' functions implemented, seems like original intention was to just direct the player towards yet another gamaplay element.
The book is strange, as the fact that he needed to read it. Overall, advice on how to talk to women is the indicator for thinking that women are some 'otherly' creatures that have certain 'algorythm' they follow and that there is a 'way' to flirt with them and be liked by them, rather than people just like men but... women... Which is kinda sexist, tho it has a scale from this awe-fueled respectful adoration before women and general feeling of not being secure "how to talk with them" to the more (unfortunately) familiar to us form of codescending sexism that's nearing to perceive women as pretty-looking animals/aliens. Pick the place where Gehrman is on this scale by yourself!
Maria herself in the boss battle appears to be a woman that is very masculine but at the same time noble and fancy-looking (in anime a similar occurence has a name, too, it's 'bifauxnen'). However, at the same time, it is her hunting attire, and we have no way to know what she was wearing outside of the hunts. Maybe she was always dressed up as a very masculine person, hunt or not, maybe she was good at dressing as both very feminine and very masculine depending on the occasion. So explanation for appearance of the Doll might scale from 'depicting her more soft, feminine side, albeit it might be exagerrated' to 'Gehrman is a dumbass that doesn't process masculine-presenting women' - again, pick the place by yourself!
