Companions

y DjaySaint and Sunsakuka
 
A LoversLab exclusive!
 
 

This mod includes 7 standalone followers made by me with characters made by Sunsakuka.  They are highly customizable via MCM menu with many different body options.  They are placed around different locations in the world:
 
Ambra - Sword and shield melee fighter and tank. She is located at Jorrvaskr in Whiterun
Clochette - Bow and arrow ranger. She can also dual wield, but she will generally use a bow first. She is located at the Bee and Barb in Riften
Eliel - Dual wielding dagger assassin. She is located at the Dead Man's Drink in Falkreath
Exotica - Healer and support mage. She will buff and heal anyone in her group, as well as use Destruction magic for offense. She is located at the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood
Hidielle - Destruction mage and necromancer. She can raise dead, and summon her very own phantom. She is located at the Blue Palace in Solitude
Nila Stonewulf - Front line heavy armored fighter.  She will dual wield swords. She is located at the Winking Skeever in Solitude
Nola Stonewulf - Two handed melee berserker who wears light armor. She is located at the Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm
 
 
NOTICE:
 
I have uploaded the core mod and textures in separate files.  This is because not everyone has the best computers so I tried my best to be accommodating to those running lesser powered machines.  You *MUST* download one of the texture packs or you will obviously get all purple/missing textures.
 
There is a 4k pack with uncompressed textures (mostly 4k, some are 2k), a 2k pack with uncompressed textures, and a 2k pack with compressed textures (uncompressed normals though to save blockiness).  If those options do not work for you, feel free to resize/compress the textures to whatever resolution works for you.  That will be the extent of my offerings.
 
Additional Install Options
 
Hidielle has 3 different styles of makeup.  I originally intended to make those changeable in game but I have not been able to get the facegen texture to swap.  Until then, I will offer these other 2 options as separate download and install options.  All you have to do is just copy the files to their installation folder and overwrite.
 
Style 1 (plain):
 
Spoiler
 
Style 2 (Red lipstick):
 
Spoiler
 
Style 3 (warpaint and red lipstick):
 
Spoiler
 
 
 

 
You will need the latest version of Skyrim.
 
Additional Requirements (Essential):
Dawnguard
Script Extender (SKSE)
SkyUI
XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended - XPMSE
 
Other Requirements (Functional but not absolutely necessary):
HDT Physics Extension
 
 
 

 
* 7 unique followers:  Ambra, Clochette, Eliel, Exotica, Hidielle, Nila Stonewulf, Nola Stonewulf
 
* All followers are marriageable.
 
* Followers are Protected by default, but their importance level can be changed via MCM menu.
 
* All followers will level up with you at a 1.0 progression rate, and have no level cap.

* In game body change for each follower which supports 4 body types: SeveNBase Original, SeveNBase Bombshell, UNP, CBBE.  Armors to support the body types will need to be provided by the user of course.

* CBBE body features separate textures for in game support between UNP and CBBE bodies simultaneously for multi-body armor support.

* Fleshed out MCM menu with multiple options for each follower including:
    - In game hair swapping.  Each follower has multiple hair styles to choose from.  Hair color will remain the same.
    - Body weight slider support.  You can change the body weight for each follower between 0 and 100 weight.
    - Height slider support.  Each follower can be set do a different height in between the ranges of 0.85 and 1.15.
    - Importance menu options.  Each follower starts out as Protected by default.  You can change each follower's importance to Killable, Protected, or Essential.
    - Toggle option to move each follower directly to your location.  Useful for debugging, or just starting with them as your companion sooner rather than going to find them.
    - Hidielle and Eliel include a menu option to change their outfit.  While Hidielle has 3 unique outfits, Eliel has 3 options for different colors of the same outfit.

* Unique healer Exotica.  She can heal you, herself, other followers, and buff everyone as well.  Her heal options and threshold are all changeable in the MCM menu.
 
 
 

 
Should be compatible with anything and everything.  Everything in this mod is standalone.  Uses vanilla follower framework so it should be compatible with every follower mod out there.
 
 
 

 
* The CBBE texture is not finished.  It has minor seam issues around the hips and some minor issues around the feet. This was just a quick do over of the UNP texture for now because there is not a CBBE version (to my knowledge) of the textures I used. I will fix this shortly and release that change. However, if you have anything that covers up that small area it isn't noticeable in game. Mostly if they are naked.

* Head meshes do not update the neck seam when changing the body weight. I am looking for a way to remedy this issue. For now it isn't really that bad or noticeable. If you have anything that covers the neck seam, you won't notice either. It's far better to have a little overlap going from 100 weight and below, than having a gaping hole going from 0 up. I'm looking in to this.

* Some times when changing hair styles, the "ugly face" bug occurs.  What is really happening is the hair styles are missing the .tri files, so when that head part is changed the face loses its original chargen mesh shape and defaults back to the head assigned to the base race, so therefore loses the tintmask as well. In order to get the hair swaps to actually work, I had to use an unconventional method. If you are running a script heavy Skyrim or are suffering from tanking fps (10 or below), occasionally the function in the MCM menu script may be interrupted and fail to finish the face restoration as part of the hair swap.

To fix this, just go back in to the MCM menu and close out again. I included a refresh function upon menu close to restore the face specifically for this "bug". Unfortunately when modding things that weren't really meant to be changed, some times it isn't perfect.
 
 
 

 
Q: "Can these followers be married?"
A: Yes. They are all set to marriageable.
 
Q: "What happens if I get the 'ugly face' bug when switching hair styles or body styles?"
A: This can happen some times if you are running a script heavy setup or your Skyrim is bogged down with a ton of mods, therefor causing the hair change functions to not fire off properly and producing an 'ugly face'. In order to correct this, just open up the Sunsakuka Follower MCM menu and close it again.  I included a function to auto refresh faces on menu close for this reason.
 
Q: "What types of bodies are included in this mod?"
A: They are standard body shapes made from BodySlide 2. The shapes are SeveNBase Original, SeveNBase Bombshell, UNP, and CBBE. I made standardized shapes for mass release. If you want any customized versions of the bodies (such as HDT "special goodies"), feel free to just replace them in your folders. I am not providing support or HDT files for those though.
 
Q: "Can these followers be killed?"
A: Yes and no. They are Protected by default, so they can only be killed by you.  However you can set them to Essential so they cannot die whatsoever, or you can set them as Killable so they can die as per normal.
 
Q: "Can I use X follower mod with these followers?"
A: Yes. Because I do not use a custom follower framework, these followers *SHOULD* work with any and all follower mods out there.  I personally use Extensible Follower Framework and have had 0 issues.
 
Q: "Why use an in game body changer?"
A: Variety. I like my followers to all be unique. This includes unique body shapes as well.
While there are "only" 4 body shapes, the main reason this is done is for a wide variety of armor compatibility. I still have some CBBE armor sets in my game, as well as some UNP and mostly SeveNBase. Because I have not had time to convert them all, or not all of them have been converted, I did not want to limit myself to not being able to use any armor at any time I wish.
Closing the game, changing body meshes (or even with MO just enabling/disabling mods), and restarting back up just to use a different armor can be inconvenient. So this mod comes with native compatibility for several body types right out of the box. You also won't have to worry about the texture compatibility problems between UNP and CBBE because I have included separate textures for them.
 
Q: "Does the body changer actually work?"
A: Yes. 100%. However you will only notice immediate effects when the followers have no items equipped or wear items made for those body types. As usual with any body types, you will have to supply armor that supports those body types.
 
Q: "Is this mod compatible with X?"
A: Yes. It should be compatible with everything. All assets are stand alone.
 
 
 

 
* Sunsakuka for making her followers available for community use and allowing me to make this mod to begin with.
* sevencardz for helping me with some scripting questions when I hit a brick wall on a couple things.
* Kasprutz for allowing me to use his healing scripts and healing system as a base for Exotica's healing system.

DjaySaint @ LoversLab or Nexus
 
You can contact me via PM either on LoversLab or Nexus Mods.  I will not be sharing any other contact information, sorry.
 
Please do not contact Sunsakuka for anything related to this mod.  She only provided the characters.  I am handling anything related to the mod.  She will probably be unable to respond to specifics for troubleshooting or requests, or just direct you to me because she did not make the mod and cannot answer questions about it.
 
Please report any reproduce-able bugs or issues with steps on how to recreate the bug and a list of troubleshooting you have done.  I will try my best to work out any problems that may arise with this mod.  However, anything that is overtly obvious or already listed in the mod description will be ignored.  Sorry.
 
 
 

 
This mod is NOT to be redistributed or shared on any other site than LoversLab.  You are not allowed to share this mod outside of LoversLab.  Linking is fine, but any reuploads are strictly frowned upon and prohibited.
 
Because a lot of the tangible resources for this mod are not mine, I am NOT giving permission to use ANY resource from this mod whatsoever.  You will have to contact the original mod authors for permission to use any resource that was not made by me.
 
I am also NOT giving permission to make any mods with this as a base, or any mod that modifies this one whatsoever.  I do NOT want to see "customizer" mods or other silly things of the like.  If there are features you feel that should be included, please contact me for their inclusion and respect my wish that I do not want other mods that modify this one.  Thank you.
 
* This is due in part to recent theft of work for which other people have rereleased on their own sites or Nexus and got donations for work that wasn't theirs.  I am not naming names, but I'm sure people know who those individuals are.
 
Also I do not want any appearance mods based on these followers released because that goes against the scope of the original mod and devalues the work Sunsakuka did with her characters.
Modifying appearance for personal use is of course fine, nobody can and will stop you.  However, I respectfully request that no mods modifying the appearance of these followers, or any aspect of this mod whatsoever be released or shared publicly.  Again, please respect these wishes.
 
If I find this mod uploaded to other sites, or other mods released that modify this one, I will remove it.  I apologize if anyone has an issue with this decision, but I refuse to let others profit off of work they did not do and I will not be a conduit for profiteering off of other mod resources that I do not own.

this were the very first followers made for the original children of sky mod
sense there beta followers expect few bugs here and there but mostly everything should ~ work ~

A hidden unlockable, standalone, follower mod and armor independent fighter.
- Uses UNP body.
- Uses her own armor.
- Does not need any follower mod to take her as the extra follower. However, she does not have the "i need you to do something" option.
All clues to get her are found within whiterun.
For those who can't be bothered to find her. Use the placeatme console command.

There are 4 files inside. Smaller file being the update.

So Pets of Skyrim is a great mod I've been using forever, but for the longest time, I kept wondering that the fucking glowy stripe along them was!

What was it? Basically the same thing as No More Ugly Bronze Shine! So I applied the fix via renaming files and BAM! Shiny stripe fixed.

Comes in two flavors:

1. Full pack, with bonus optimized textures.
2. Just the fur shine fixes.
3> Full package with 1 esp not 2

Hi there!

So, a few months ago, I began tinkering around with the Creation Kit for the first time: in part because I like to create things, and in part because I couldn't find too many followers that I really liked. A few days of silly mistakes and much CK-crashing later, I had two created and working in the game. A lil' later, I had one packaged up and ready for testing!

Theeeeeennn as I am prone to do, I completely lost interest in Skyrim for a while. It's the kind of game I'll pick up almost exclusively for a month or two; then leave alone for a while. About a week ago, I picked it right back up again - and lo and behold; still had that one package still tucked safely away from the frenzied clutter-cleaning I get into once in a while.

Thus, I'd like to present her here for testing - and have a topic open for any other NPCs I create along the way. I do have one other, but I never set her up as a standalone - and would have to go find my guides again before I can put something together.


Selan (Arcadia's Cauldron: Whiterun)



At the moment, she's the most basic of Followers. She stabs, flings ice bolts, angers your other followers from time to time, and blocks narrow hallways with her sorceress-y hips.


My plan a few months ago was to start tinkering with items and quests and couriers and the like so that I could put some actual setup and development for her as a character into the game with her - and should I get the CK to play nice again, I think I'll look at that. I had wanted to do a lot of custom dialogue; but it would feel a little odd to have it totally unvoiced.
Let me know what you think - and please let me know if it doesn't work or breaks things in weird and wonderful ways! This being my first attempt at modding, it's likely I've mucked a few things up in the process - and I'd like to get it working good n' proper before I go completely crazy with the NPC-making.

To install: Extract into your Skyrim directory.

Meet Jasmine,an ex nightingale and sister of Karliah(notice the eyes).She left after Karliah did and wants no part of the organization thinking that they are all fools!She has since been staying in the basement of helga's bunkhouse waiting for someone worthy to come along.Will that someone be you?Jasmine is a one handed style warrior level's with the player up to 250,she has a full set of nightingale armor,sword and bow as well as 100 ebony arrows she is standalone and can be married.I am unsure but you may need the mod more follower voices plus kajeiht(not sure how to spell that)marriage to use her as a follower but you can still marry her even without that.She will be naked when you first meet her because she is very proud of her body,and you will see why,but just trade with her or take her outside and she will equip her stuff.Works very well with my other followers Nakia and Demonika they make an awesome team all together,but she is also more then enough by herself.She is a dark elf set to any crime has juggernat 80,stealth 80,armsmen 80,muffled movement and the lightfoot perk,so she wont set off any traps.I hope you enjoy her as much as I have!On another note if anyone has a request for a follower or to change someone in the game let me know and if I can I will do it.

Fully custom voiced Midna follower: Found in Sinderion's Field Laboratory in Blackreach.

Changes the two male nord Housecarls from Hearthfire to female Redguards.
I'm sure not the first mod of this kind for them, but the first you can find. There are hundreds of Lydias, but the Hearthfire NPC's are seldom touched. So i put my big boy pants on and a cup of coffee (instead hot chocolate) and did it my self.

If you experience neck gaps and/or colour mismatching you might want to "reset" the sisters with the console command [recycleactor]. Just take everything they carry. The reset deletes items, though follower status stays. If you have them following you, they will directly come back. Therefore it's recommended.

Open console while looking at the npc

click on the npc

make sure the right npc is clicked

write recycleactor.

Sierra used to be a vigilant when she first came out in nexus.
But illegal activities....... left the organization no choice but to kick her out.
She is down and out at Nightgate inn waiting to be hired.
She is weapon-independent. She uses UNP body i guess( tbh i didn't ask uga and he didn't stat it in mod page).

Her abilities are what made her pay the price.

Plans:
Balance her abilities according to level.

Like Zoe, this is a redone of the follower sierra, overwrite the original files.
There are 3 followers at the original author's page, choose sierra.

To get her default outfit seen above, i used this:

Permissions, Credits and thanks:
- I am very grateful to Morika for her files and permissions to translate, share and support; if you like this mod, let him know (LL profile). If you want to do something with this mod and share it, please ask him first.
- To Natilde for the tutorial to create standalone NPCs.
- Sora outfit is a conversion from Killer Keo Skimpy Armor Journeyman from CBBE to Sevenbase, the gloves are from Volek Mystic Gloves and boots from Mahatawa Belt Armor (I wish to express my gratitude and thanks for their work and assets used).
 
Please report any bugs or conflicts you find and track down to this MOD. It's very important for everyone involved.
 
Check Morika's page for additional Screenshots and dobmc post regarding Sora history.
 
Enjoy!

GENERAL INFORMATION
 
This mod adds a follower in a new cabin across Pinewatch Cottage (check screenshots) based on the Inari Race created by Kogane to Oblivion. Isn't lore friendly and I am aware of that. If you think this mod isn't for you, just forget it exists - it is pointless to discuss this MOD based on personal tastes/preferences and mod bashing comments will be deleted.
 
If you like the concept and want to add your opinion or help improve it, please leave a comment.
 
Also Available on Steam.
 
Versions 1.1: Add wearable Inari Ears and Tails, look for a knapsack inside Seon's Cabin.
 
SEON ID:
Melee combat: None
Ranged combat: custom Bow.
Spells & Shouts: Relies hugely on magic combat/defense; uses drain health, restoration, alteration and illusion spells.
Armor: Custom UNP Savior Hide Armor.
Main Perks: Archery
 
Some lore background to support her appearance: she was blessed by Hircine as Champion for completing the Wild Hunt, but Sheogorath cursed her to have an animal hybrid aspect, a way to mock Wild Hunt ritual and an attempt to drive her crazy. Luckily Seon's strong will and discipline prevent her from madness; her hunting/patrol duty grants the respect from the Falkreath hold, keeping the road clean from bandits and predators.
 
It is a good idea to save your game away from Pinewatch Cottage or inside an interior cell (house/cave/city) before installing this mod to avoid CTD.
 
DESCRIPTION:
 
This follower mod is the mash-up of 3 personal mods: a race mod, a follower based on a player character and an house mod.
 
The Race:
This follower concept started after a fellow user from another Skyrim related forum requested the port of Kogane's Oblivion Inari assets (ear and tail) to Skyrim. For compatibility reasons, the NPC uses a vanilla Nord race instead of a custom race, so anyone can use the mod without dependencies.
 
Inari Race skills:
High alteration/archery/illusion skills, low melee/physical defense habilities. The biggest challenge was to give her a close combat option, since unarmed combat, the use of swords/daggers/axes or strong destruction spells were out of the question. I ended up giving her the absorb health spell, similar to the one vampires use, even if this is not technically melee combat. The Oblivion Mod also gives conjuration a nice boost, but this version doesn't make it relevant.
 
The Follower:
A former character of mine, created with ECE. She levels with the character from level 1 to 100, flagged as essential. Marriage option is locked for now, so you have to use a console command workaround. She uses custom enchanted armor/bow (not playable by the character); her body is UNP and the armor is a custom modification from Exeter UNP vanilla remodeled armors.
 
If you have a melee-style character, she fits well as she likes to fight from distance. For low-level character, there is a good chance that she could be too powerful, but I have no feedback to support this assumption.
 
She has her own schedule (sleep/eat/patrol & hunt), high magika skills developed and a specific skill to absorb the vitality from her foes. As a matter of personal preference, I like to have a follower that can pick those high-level locks, and she is one of that kind, having a good stock of lockpicks.
 
The House:
This was part of my learning process of house/cell creation following DarkFox127 (and others) tutorials. I like the concept of followers own a place to live (instead of living in inns), but that increases the mod incompatibility, so I rather pick up abandoned camps or small caves as meeting locations for releases and keep the follower with houses concept for personal use. This is one of the exceptions.
 
House/Cabin concept:
An hunter cabin using Stroti's wonderful resources. You can find it fast traveling to Pinewatch cottage, then get on the road and head to your left; the cabin is just a couple of steps ahead. There is an unenchanted Seon's Bow for you in the top of the dresser.
 
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- please use a follower manager
- don't use more than 2 followers at once when exploring a dungeon, things can be crowded easily;
- changing her outfit can lead to weird results since she use her own custom body/textures, specially if you use other body than 7B/UNP/Vanilla.
- use Follower Commentary Overhaul - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52019/? - to improve follower interactivity.
 
COMPATIBILITY:
Should be compatible with anything except mods who affect the cell where the Cabin is set.
 
TROUBLESHOOTING & QUESTIONS:
 
Problem: She won't follow me.
Answer: install a follower manager; if you don't have it, probably you already have one follower with you (remember that the game limits the number of regular followers).
 
Problem: She don't use her custom bow, she is using a normal hunting bow.
Answer: This is a know issue with some followers and happened to me; the workaround is to talk to her and remove the hunting bow from her inventory.
 
Problem: I can't assign her as a steward.
Answer: That is related with the voice type assigned. To enable her for housecarl/steward jobs, you must use the console, please read this workaround from wiki Hbxn: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:403592
 
Problem: When I change her armor, the body textures mismatch or I get gaps on the head/hands/feet.
Answer: She use custom textures/body and your armor is linked to your body/textures type. I can't help you here.
 
Problem: Her armor looks different on my game.
Answer: I use aMidianBorn textures by CaBaL(http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24909/?), that can't be shared outside Nexus. The Mod will use your Hide armor textures installed, so if you don't have any texture replacer for it, you'll get vanilla textures.

Ser Pounce-a-lot



Sabre Cat Companion




Ser Pounce-a-lot comes in 4 variations now:
The Normal Sabre Cat
The Snow Sabre Cat
The Vale Sabre Cat *you do not need dawngard for my vale version*
Spectral Sabre Cat



Not much more to say except that he will level with you, does not affect stealth meter (he's a sabre cat for crying out loud, stealth is there thing XD ).
He will be .... well, should be behind the tavern in Riverwood, but it has been known that he likes to wonder and hunt Gerdur's live stock. No one knows why she tolerates a saber cat so near her family, but there are rumors of someone with a voice that sounds just like hers saying "Who's the pretty kitty? Yes you are!" in the middle of the night. Those are just rumors of course.


In the sabre cat follower there is a texture addition from Bestiality Extras from Gone http://www.loverslab.com/topic/20589-bestiality-animations-pack/. (thanks for the awesome mod Gone)
It's the penis textures for the sabre cat. I have it installed and have no idea on how to remove it from the mod and what consequences that will have in my game if i do remove it just to pack the mod again, so i will leave it there. It's no biggie actually


I would love to add an armored skin to it but my drawing skills do not go beyond stick figures XD

Important:If you downloaded the earlier version and having issues like missing textures or black body or any bug with textures and meshes,please download the fixed version,since I made a stupid mistake earlier...
 

Hooray!Black body bug fixed!
 

Hi there,I recently decided to make my characters (also the main actresses of my Mr.Biko story) into standalone followers,after a few days of struggling with buggy CK and the painful truth that I suck at CK,I finally managed to make it happen!
A special thank you to my good man JRCosta,he basically taught me how to create follower step by step.
Be warned!This is my first mod,so If you happen to discover something wrong,please tell me,you can either PM me or just post below,I'll regularly check this topic and update from time to time.
 
Now,time to bring the girls!No,just one girl for now...will add others soon...
 
Varkia the She-wolf
She's blonde,she's nord,and...she's a dodgy racist...She used to serve the late Highking Toyyg with Atlas(AKA Mr.Biko),but she left him to his fate and fled after they assisted Ulfric Stormcloak murdered Toyyg,After her misadventure and unhappy reunion with Atlas,she now stays at Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood.You may keep a she-wolf as pet,but never think she's a puppy.
 

 
My character Varkia(left) and my follower Varkia(right)...eh...#weird
 
All follower use standalone or vanilla materials,you just need to install the pack properly,since the vanilla materials cannot been extracted from skyrim.esp,so those materials are not included inside
