Tragedian's Fabulous Followers SSE

A total rework for the visuals & skills of Skyrim's followers with an immersive, lore-friendly approach. All of the affected NPCs have been given the ability to level alongside the player up to level 60 & some have been given new combat perks so they can carry their own weight against whatever threats the Dragonborn may face.

This mod includes all of my previously released NPC overhauls, some of which I've redone to include better tintmasks & smoother meshes. My goal was to visually enhance each follower in a way that wouldn't look too out of place in the vanilla game, but still be unique & reflective of their personality/background. This also extends to combat, with several characters gaining access to useful perks, abilities, equipment, etc. To see a more in-depth list of changes for each follower, click HERE.

As of the most recent update, this mod no longer has any hard requirements. However, facegen was generated using Expressive Facegen Morphs so Expressive Facial Animations (Male & Female) could be considered a soft requirement to ensure there's no incidental clipping. USSEP changes have been forwarded, but the patch itself isn't necessary if you don't want to run it for some reason. NPCs will use whatever textures you have installed, but if you'd like your followers to look exactly like the screenshots, I highly recommend Tempered Skins (Male & Female), Mild Complexions, Brows, Beards, & True Faces.

It should go without saying, but this mod is generally incompatible with other mods that edit the same NPCs, whether or not they modify appearances. Most issues can be resolved via proper load order, but some problems may require a different solution. For more information, please read below.

Q: "Can this be flagged as an ESL to save myself a plugin slot?"

A: I've pre-emptively compacted the FormIDs so you can easily add an ESL flag in xEdit if you want, but I'll leave that up to you.

Q: "Is this compatible with AE?"

A: As far as I know, there shouldn't be any issues. This mod was built/tested in SE & only affects the included followers. There are no other edits that should be impacted by the Anniversary Edition.

Q: "Will this mod work with ?"

A: Yes. Either version should not conflict with any mod that affects follower functionality such as Nether's Follower Framework, Amazing Follower Tweaks, etc. However, if using the full version, I'd recommend leaving Erandur, Frea, and J'zargo's combat styles on the default setting so as not to over
