Tifa Lockhart Follower by Brandon3903

Please read at least the GENERAL INFORMATION and the TROUBLESHOOTING before posting about an issue or CTD. I won't reply to "It won't work" comments without giving further information. Also check the TIFA ALTERNATE VERSION.

NEXUS version here: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73150/?

GENERAL INFORMATION:

This mod adds a follower inside the Old Hroldan Inn, based on the face preset of Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy VII) created and shared by Brandon3903 on Nexus: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71260/?

Please consider this follower a Work in Progress (WIP) since some minor changes can occur, so it is a good idea you don't give her items or weapons and armor you want to keep.

If you think this mod won't suit your game, please ignore it.

Tifa is flagged as essential, marriable and will level with you up to level 100.

She uses only her fists on combat, so without any adjustments (using an edit tool to change her settings on the plugin or a follower manager), she won't use any weapon by default.

If you like her but want her to be a non-unarmed follower instead, leave a comment and I'll release a version with different combat settings.

Changing her outfit clothes may lead to face/body mismatch if your default skin isn't Fair Skin.

TIFA ALTERNATE VERSION

This version requires the main file to work.

Instalation: Subscribe the mod, then get this file:

https://mega.nz/#!4oNXBYLC!L1-yyJ0SW-9ucQyHB64L9s2jfHkvGohthgXAP6L_0Hc

and drop it on your \Skyrim\Data\ folder, overwriting the existing TifaLockhartFollower.esp file

Changes:
- Vanilla equipment and weapons instead of the custom ones;
- changed the combat style to use ice/lightning magic and one-handed sword, but she'll also use bows and other melee weapons;
- Pick up locations and remain features are the same.

COMPATIBILITY AND REQUIREMENTS:

Should be full compatible with any mod around, if you find any incompatibility please report it on the comments or via PM. Doesn't require any other mod to work.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

- please use a follower manager; I use Amazing Follower Tweaks but any other should work as well;
- don't use more than 2 followers at once when exploring a dungeon, things can be crowded easily;
- changing her outfit can lead to weird results since she use her own custom body/textures, specially if you use other body than 7B/UNP/Vanilla;
- Consider using Follower Commentary Overhaul for immersive Follower commentaries and actions;

TROUBLESHOOTING & QUESTIONS:

Problem: She won't follow me.
Answer: install a follower manager; if you don't have it, probably you already have one follower with you (remember that the game limits the number of regular followers).

Problem: I've subscribed the mod but can't find her.
Answer: don't forget to activate the plugin TifaLockhartFollower.esp in tour Skyrim Launcher - Data Files or with your Mod Manager.
