📋 About This Mod

>>LE VERSION AVAILABLE HERE<<

Another character I take a lot of screenshots with. This one is my personal favorite since I've been using her pretty much since I started taking screenshots!!

She can be found in the Bard's College in Solitude on the first floor near the entrance, and is equipped with an Elven bow and dagger. She is wearing a barkeeper outfit. If you want to equip different clothes more easily, I included a nude esp that you can replace the main esp with.

Unfortunately for this mod, I can't use her normal body since it's half bodyslide/half ECE edited, so the follower version just has the bodyslide preset as the body and no other modifications.

Mod Manager

  • []Open the Astrid Follower archive with your mod manager of choice

    []If you want to install the "Nude Vr.", just open that archive with your mod manager of choice and make sure it overwrites the original mod

Manual

  • []Use a program like Winrar or 7-zip to extract the folder

    []Drag the "P3ACH_Astrid.esp", textures folder, and meshes folder into the skyrim data folder (NOT the folder with the Skyrim.exe)

    Mod Manager

    • []Delete "Astrid Follower" from your mod manager of choice

      []NMM ONLY: make sure Esther.esp in the data folder, the "P3ACH Astrid Follower" folder in the meshes folder, the "P3ACH Astrid Follower" folder in the textures folder, and the two files named

      "00000D64" in "meshes\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceGeom\P3ACH_Astrid.esp" and "textures\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceTint\P3ACH_Astrid.esp" are deleted because sometimes NMM doesn't fully uninstall some mods

    Manual

    • Delete Esther.esp in the data folder, the "Esther" folder in the meshes folder, the "Esther" folder inthe textures folder, and the two files named "00000D64" in "meshes\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceGeom\Esther.esp" and "textures\actors\character\FaceGenData\FaceTint\Esther.esp".
