📋 About This Mod
Just prevents silent conversations between Light and Shade SE and Improved Follower Dialogue Lydia.
Minor Patch for IFD-Lydia and Light and Shade SE, without this patch, Eris will start dialogue with Lydia but she will
be silent, this patch will fix this but it'll use the original voice of Lydia.
If you want the new voice from the mod (IFD-Lydia), you should talk to the author about making an actual patch for Light and Shade SE.
All I did was simply rename the folder from "FemaleEvenToned" (Light and Shade SE) to "FemaleUniqueLydia" (IFD-Lydia). These are loose files.
This is a compatibility patch for Improved Follower Dialogue Lydia and Light and Shade, fixing a bug where Eris attempts to start dialogue with Lydia but she remains silent. The patch restores dialogue using Lydia's original voice. Essential for players using both mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 127 endorsements and 24,943 downloads — clearly a needed fix.
- Tiny patch that solves a specific, annoying bug without bloating your load order.
- Keeps Lydia's original voice, so no jarring voice mismatch.
⚠️ Cons
- Only useful if you run both IFD-Lydia and Light and Shade — otherwise it's dead weight.
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be compatible with newer versions of the mods.
- No extra features beyond the patch — it's a one-trick pony.
For Skyrim players who have both Improved Follower Dialogue Lydia and Light and Shade installed and are tired of Lydia ignoring Eris. If you don't use both mods, skip this — it does nothing for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both required mods installed and load this patch after them in your load order.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the load order automatically — but double-check that this patch is placed after the other two.
- Since this patch uses Lydia's original voice, you won't need any additional voice files.
