Bring your characters together at last! Visit the Shrine of Heroes, where you can meet your Dragonborn from past play-throughs, create a monument to their achievements, and even bring them to your world as faithful allies... or worthy opponents! Whether you're a role-player trying to build a coherent story of Skyrim or you just think it'd be cool to use your other players as followers, Familiar Faces is the only way to do it!

Version 1. 1. 5 - Released Jan 4th, 2015

Bugs squashed:

  • []Many and various bugs related to level scaling. #112 - At least in more circumstances. Bear in mind that the imported character's level (i.e. what you see if you use the getlevel console command) will rarely if ever be their original level, but the levels of their various actor values will either be scaled appropriately based on class, or will match the original values. This is now checked much more frequently, so it should work more reliably.

    [/][]Trophies sometimes not appearing after saving or moving a character in the Shrine. #104[/]

    Version 1. 1. 4 - Released Jan 1st, 2015

    THIS VERSION (OR HIGHER) IS REQUIRED IF YOU USE RACEMENU 3!

    Bugs squashed:

    • []Portal Stone STILL not appearing in player inventory sometimes. #107

      [/][]Imported characters sometimes do not respond at all when spoken to. #108[/]

      []ScriptLatency test script is getting started and won't shut down, filling the screen with notifications. #109[/]

      []Tweaks needed for new RaceMenu version checks. #110[/]

      []Characters sometimes arrive with armor, but no weapons. #111

    FUTURE UPDATES aka WHERE IS VERT?

    The past 2 years have been rough on me. A lot of crap's been going on that's kept me from modding, in general. I'd like to return, though. Familiar Faces 2 is about as complete as it was the last time I updated here, and it's going to take time to pick up where I left off.  But I want it to happen, intend for it to happen, and plan to make it happen this year, both for Classic and SSE.

    On to the rest of the readme!

    1. 1 has been released!

  • Requires careful setup to import characters correctly, which can be confusing for first-time users.
  • No official patches for the Special Edition or Anniversary Edition, so you might need community fixes.
