📋 About This Mod

Nether's Vex

- Enhanced version of Vex with custom perks, combat style and abilities.

- Tons of unique, custom dialogue and idles.

- Easily assign up to 5 outfits and easily switch between them.

- Customize mod features via the MCM menu. Yes, you can turn off features you don't like.

REQUIREMENTS:

- Dawnguard and Dragonborn must be installed and active in your load order.

- SkyUI (there is an MCM provided)

- UNP or CBBE-based body (vanilla body is not supported)

INSTALLATION:

- Fomod Installer (supports SSE or LE). LE version is a backwards port from SSE to LE, use at your own risk.

- Choose Body Type (CBBE or UNP)

- Choose Hair Color.

ACQUIRING:

- You must be part of the Thieves Guild to try to acquire Vex as a follower. This means you must have completed the intro quest "Taking Care of Business", where you extort some of Riften's townsfolk for money.

- Once you have completed this, you can choose the dialogue option "May I ask you something?". This makes a roll using your Speech skill plus a bonus based on how many main quests you've done for the Guild along with any quests that Vex offers (Burgulary, Shill, etc). If successful, Vex will join you and will be treated as a follower under most circumstances. Otherwise, you can attempt to ask her again in 8 hours, game time.

FOLLOWER EXCEPTIONS:

- Vex will leave your service once you progress far enough along the Thieves Guild questline to where Mercer accompanies you to hunt down Karliah. This is done to preserve the storyline. After you return to the Guild with Karliah, later on, and the events with the vault play out, you can recruit Vex again (after investigating Mercer's house). There should be indicators when this happens.

- Vex will leave your service if you commit crimes against the guild (the quest "Reparations"). You can reacquire her once you pay your debt.

THIEVES GUILD and VANILLA CHANGES:

- It's somewhat tricky to get Vex to work as a follower, since she is a key NPC used in other quests along with trying to provide as much compatiblity with other mods as possible. For the most part, this mod should not conflict with other Thieves Guild mods unless they directly change Vex's dialogue options.

- Dialogue was added to the Marriage system. This shouldn't affect other mods unless they extensively change this and should have nothing to do with multiple adoption mods.

- Adds comments when viewing an impressive site, approaching entrances to dungeons, there is danger or she is healed by others.

- Several basic informative dialogues were changed with conditio
