📋 About This Mod
Heads-up to translators: Be sure to remove the "_Standalone" suffix from the plugin filename, that way the translated plugin can override mine seeing as my FOMOD automatically renames the plugin to "AuthenticSindingFollower.esp" based on which one you choose. The text inside the aasindingcurescriptagree.pex/.psc also needs to be translated, along with the "aasindingfollowermcm" script. One more thing, I will appreciate if translations are kept up-to-date, the translators not just ghosting everything they've done before I've made new updates.
Another heads-up: I will be much more likely to read PMs, so if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me privately!

Introduction
Sinding is one of those underrated NPC's that has grown dear to me over the past few years where I started to sympathize more with him because I am aware that he never intended to harm anyone, and I always thought it would be awesome to have him as a follower. So throughout the time I've developed this mod, I've tried my best to turn him into an immersive werewolf follower that is also not a mere copy of a vanilla NPC, hence the title "Authentic Sinding Follower".

"But LOOOOOL ARE YOU NUTS? Sinding is a child killer/furry abomination/etc, why tf would u want him as a follower??!!!1"
Sorry but I find that question highly invalidating. This is my mod, Sinding never MEANT to kill that child, and yes I know child murder is terrible beyond words, so is any kinds of murder... But a few years back I personally started to show more sympathy for his situation, because it's clear that he showed great remorse about what he did and I honestly think he deserves a second chance. And so eventually, this mod was born. And after all it's just a game, so why would you go out of your way to question someone's modding/playstyle preferences in a game where you can basically do things like replacing the dragons with Thomas the Tank Engine or give all the women massive bewbs, of all things? My point is that I tried my best to give this mod a few genuine and realistic consequences of having Sinding as a follower. If this mod is not what you seek, then just move along, I don't need your opinion. With that said, I do not need to know if you actually killed him during the quest and mounted his head on your wall as a trophy, or sporting his hide, those things are totally irrelevant to what this mod is about.

Authentic Sinding Werewolf Follower SE transforms Sinding from the Daedric quest 'Ill Met By Moonlight' into a fully voiced follower with over 200 dialogue lines, provided you spare him. This ESPFE mod is a lightweight addition for players seeking a lore-friendly companion with unique personality.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 890 endorsements and 1.0M downloads — clearly a well-loved mod.
- Over 200 voiced lines means Sinding feels like a real character, not a silent husk.
- ESPFE format is a blessing for load order hoarders — no plugin slot wasted.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you spare Sinding — if you're a completionist who kills him, you miss out entirely.
- Last updated January 2025 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
- No mention of patches for popular overhauls like Ordinator or Wintersun — you might need to sort compatibility yourself.
For Skyrim players who love lore-friendly followers with personality and want a unique companion tied to a Daedric quest. Perfect for werewolf enthusiasts or those who always spare Sinding. Skip if you prefer combat-focused followers or never spare NPCs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to complete 'Ill Met By Moonlight' and choose to spare Sinding — otherwise the mod won't activate.
- Since it's ESPFE, you can safely place it anywhere in your load order, but putting it near other follower mods helps avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the ESPFE flag — don't manually convert it or you might break things.
