📋 About This Mod

Another of my visual overhauls with a small tweak as a bonus :D

When you first meet Camilla you hear her arguing with her brother that she would like to go after the thief, and she has other lines where she says she would love to come with you on adventures.

Well, now she can finally explore Skyrim with you!

I made a small tweak and added her to the potential follower faction. Then, when you complete the Golden Claw quest and bring the claw back to Lucan, your relationship rank will go to 2 and the follow me dialogue will appear. She will then behave like any other follower, and you can manage her both with the vanilla system or with a follower framework of your choice. She will also level up with you.

As per the visual appearance, she will use your body and skin, for max compatibility and better blending with your other characters.

(In the pictures I use Bijin skin with CBBE).

Hair textures are from KS and already included in the mod - if you have KS installed you might get a notification that some files are overlapping, just load KS last - the files have the same path so you can use a different texture (like salt and wind) if you want.

ESP is flagged light.

To use the preset: open Racemenu, set the character to Female Imperial, load the .jslot from the preset tab (if you don't have KS hair and the makeup, you can just change it to whatever you have).

If the face doesn't look right (needs Expressive Facegen Morphs), go to the Sculpt tab and import the .nif with the head mesh.

Credits and recommended mods:

  • []Expressive Facegen Morphs (not needed, just credit for the facegen)

    []KS hairdos (textures already included)

    []Bijin Skin for CBBE (or you can use any other skin/body you like)

    []Makeup by CoralineKoralina

    Compatibility and other issues:

    Should be compatible with everything except mods that change the same NPC. In that case you'll have to choose which one you want and load it last.

    I made a small change to one of the scripts of the Golden Claw quest (changed the relationship rank from 1 to 2), if you have other mods that change the same script you could have issues, and the follow me dialogue won't show up.

    If you install the mod after you already retrieved the golden claw, the script won't compile and probably the follow dialogue won't appear, but in both cases she will still be in the follower faction so you can force-recruit her with a follower mod (like EFF, nether etc.) or raise the relationship rank to at least 2 via console command (open console, click on Camilla, type setrelationshiprank player 2).

    Let me know in the comments if you have other issues.
