EQUIREMENTS

The official 1. 9 update or higher is required.

MFVM - More Follower Voices Mod by Mysticentity is required if you want to have Thrynn and Etienne Rarnis as followers (the other NPCs will work with or without this file).

I also recommend using this mod along with Better Stealth AI for Followers. This is not required, but it will certainly improve their ability to be used as stealthy followers.

NSTALLATION

Simply download and install with your favorite mod manager, or manually extract the .zip file to the Skyrim/Data folder.

OMPATIBILITY

If you are using a mod that edits the Actor records for these NPCs (such as NPC/appearance overhauls), then you should load it after Thieves Guild Followers.  This will overwrite several changes from TGF; however, you will still be able to recruit the NPCs as followers.

By overwriting the Actor records, you'll lose the following changes from TGF:

  • []Changes to Level caps.  Most of these NPCs have a max level of 25 in the vanilla game. Etienne is the exception; he has a vanilla level cap of 100.[/]

    []Added perks, including Light Foot.[/]

    []Minor tweaks to their Classes in order to add Lockpicking as a skill and to switch Ravyn to an Assassin class and Thrynn to a Bandit class.[/]
