📋 About This Mod
Chiaki Kusakabe (千明日下部)
A wanderer from beyond the seas, Chiaki Kusakabe
arrived in Skyrim in search of a worthy challenge,
one that will hone her skills, and allow her to join the
ranks of great warriors that have come before her.
You can find her in the Jorrvaskr Living Quarters (Basement)
- High Poly Head, HD Demoniac Skin Textures, 3BBB CBBE body.
- Custom Japanese Follower dialogue using the official Japanese Dub.
- Trained in the Akaviri Arts of War, she can swing her weapons faster,
and potentially disarm her enemies with power attacks.
- Comes with a fitting Hakama Set, courtesy of the Blades Hakama Mod.
- Animation folders for custom animations, thanks to Dynamic Animation Replacer.
(Note: The Japanese Voice version is incompatible with most follower frameworks. If you want to use her with a follower framework, please use the English Voice Version. There is no workaround for this.)
Hard Requirements:
- High Poly Head by VectorPlexus: https://vectorplexus.com/files/file/283-high-poly-head/
As with all my mods, which are built with the High Poly Head mod for maximum detail,
you need to download this mod for facial animations to work properly.
Soft Requirements:
- Dynamic Animation Replacer: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/33746
In the optional Files are the animation folders. Please feel free to add your favourite animations,
she is designed to use oriental/Samurai inspired animations. Place all combat animations in the
00000D64 folder, and all other animations (walking/running) in the 'female' subfolder.
Recommended Mods:
- COCO Ronin Outfit:
Possibly one of the best armor mods out there. It is locked behind a patreon pledge,
but considering the amount of quality armors on COCO's patreon, it might be worth it.
- EFF Cosmetic Menu: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19353
For adjusting NPC's bodies, as well as adding tattoos, scars, etc.
- Racemenu Bodygen:
Best way to give variety to NPC's bodies. Also a great way to give unique bodies to followers
like this one. You can find out how to use it on the Racemenu page.
