📋 About This Mod
>> Hard Requirement: MAW Assets 1. 1 or later <<
A cute Breton mage working with the vanilla follower framework or any other follower manager.
(based on my Colette replacer included in AW HP Female Replacers AIO)
Name: Michelle
Race: Breton
Class: Elemental Mage (fire and ice)
Perks: Destruction, Restoration, Alteration, light foot
Weapons: Elven Dagger of Sparks and Crossbow (requires Dawnguard DLC)
Voice: Female Even Toned
Location: College of Winterhold (usually in the courtyard)
Will level up with you.
Essential and Marriageable.
She has high poly face morphs (included) and will use your own body and skin textures.
ESL flagged light.
Works with any version of SE/AE
1. 1 UPDATE:
- Fixed her combat class, so she can now level up in one-hand and archery, along with Destruction, Alteration, and Restoration.
- More destruction-focused abilities and equipment
- Added AI packages for sandboxing: she will now visit the All of the Elements, study at the library, and sleep in the dormitory.
Everything is compatible with College overhauls since her packages only refer to the name of the cells.
Tested with Immersive College of Winterhold - she uses the extra beds to sleep and sandboxes around without issues :D
To be sure you're not losing anything, remove her inventory and dismiss her before updating.
Racemenu Preset in the optional files.
Requirements:
- Expressive Facegen Morphs (not mandatory - if you don't have it you can import the .nif file with the head mesh from the Sculpt tab)
- High Poly Head (select the Expressive Facegen Morphs option)
- Other mods listed in the recommended/credits are optional, you can customize as you please.
