📋 About This Mod

Hey, I’ve finally fulfilled my promise of turning some of my presets into followers. Now it's time to work on a new follower concept. From now on, every follower I make will likely come with at least one NPC replacer, starting from Lydia. Also, because whenever I make a follower with SMP hair, people ask for a regular hair, and when I make it with regular hair, they ask for SMP, so i’ve decided to change the hair options from three to two options: SMP and regular if i find the right hair

I've updated my asset for this and my upcoming followers, so download the update too otherwise she will have missing texture.

And please don't forget to endorse if you like the mod !!! Thankyouu.
