📋 About This Mod
About Nimriel follower:
Nimriel is a young fire mage, currently learning pyromancy and restoration in the College of Winterhold. She seeks adventures, so she will gladly become your companion. Wine is something she likes most and always carries in her inventory. Alto is the best in her opinion. You can find her in the College of Winterhold, in the courtyard. She is of course marriable, unique, protected and levels with you. You can play a stealth archer with her, as she doesn't affect the stealth meter.
Race: Dunmer
Location: College of Winterhold courtyard
Marriable: Yes
If you want to spawn her to check if the mod is working, press "~" and write "help nimriel", find her ID and then write "player.placeatme "
She has two AI Packages, which makes her a better, more 'intelligent' follower. One of the packages is made by coldsun1187. Visit his profile, you will not regret it!
Nimriel will use your in-game skin and body.
I recommend using Nether's Follower Framework and Relationship Dialogue Overhaul - RDO SE for the best experience with Nimriel.
FaceTint is 4096x4096 resolution, so have fun with screen archery :)
About Karliah replacer:
Karliah's hood has been removed.
Her default weight is 0. If any of your mod changes that, you can encounter a neck seam.
She will use your in-game body.
FaceTint is 4096x4096 resolution.
Installation:
Manually or with your mod manager.
I recommend using Bits and pieces female skin mashup if you want her to look like in my pictures. IMO this is the best skin mod available on Nexus.
Compatibility:
Nimriel - no problems
Karliah - no problems if her plugin and textures (just the whole mod) are loaded last and her weight is 100
