  • -----------------
  • You know she\'s too good for Goodsprings!
  • Yes that\'s right, Sunny Smiles is now ready to share your adventures in the wasteland.
  • What is this mod?
  • ----------------
  • Sunny Smiles is now a fully featured companion,
  • with voice and lip-sync.
  • She behaves and talks like any normal companion,
  • and with some added options.
  • Cheyenne is available as an optional companion as well!
  • Her look and scripting is vanilla, and those that have tried my earlier companions know that\'s how I like it.
  • This mod is designed for maximum compatibility and stability.
  • IMPORTANT
  • --------
  • To hire Sunny you must have completed the Goodsprings quest, Ghost Town Gunfight.
  • If you killed/let her be killed, obviously you won\'t be able to hire her at all.
  • You also need to pass a fairly easy speech check, or have the LadyKiller perk.
  • Features
  • -------
  • Companion Wheel
  • No companion limit
  • Default waiting mode is Sandbox, guard is an option
  • SetEssential Toggle in Tactics Dialogue
  • Unlimited Weapon Toggle
  • Set home, go home
  • Notes about Cheyenne
  • -------------------
  • Cheyenne is not a standalone follower, she will always follow Sunny, NOT you.
  • If you are looking for a standalone dog companion, look elsewhere.
  • All relevant CompanionWheel Commands are available.
  • You can tell her to Wait, Change Follow Distance and Aggression with with the wheel.
  • For obvious reasons changing combat style has no effect.
  • If you tell Sunny to wait, Cheyenne will wait by her side.
  • If you fire Sunny, Cheyenne will leave with her, and join you again if you hire her again.
  • If Sunny is killed Cheyenne will leave you forever.
  • If you change the essential flag on Sunny, Cheyenne will also be essential.
  • If you set Cheyenne to follow long distance she uses a different AI-package (accompany).
  • Try it out and let me know which you like best (long or short).
  • You can only change if Cheyenne is a follower or not when you are hiring inside the Prospector saloon.
  • OBS! I strongly recommend installing the dog eye fix for Cheyenne,
  • if you are disturbed by eyes floating i the air. Get it at:

  • Compatibility
  • ----------
  • Any mod that changes Sunny Smiles has the potential to mess with this mod.
  • If you have problems getting her to follow it\'s almost certain you have a conflicting mod.
  • As always, if you have problems, first try to load this mod after any of the interfering mods.
  • What is changed?
  • Sunny Smiles (AI,dialogue,scripts,some stats),
  • Cheyenne (AI,dialogue,scripts,some stats).
  • Added a teleport marker in GSProspectorSaloonInterior
