Thanks to Nexus sites for having this helpful website for beginner modders! [UPDATED CK Method] Best Guide I've found online on the new CK Method. Thanks FaeriexDecay for directing me to this treasure trove! http://hubpages.com/hub/Hot-to-Turn-Your-Skyrim-Character-into-a-Follower#
[OUTDATED NPC Editor and ESM/ESP Methods] Especially this link on Creating Followers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlepT3rQ8LI&feature=youtu.be&hd=1 And thanks to Google user "RighthandedMan25" for guiding me into the right direction
Thanks to Bethesda for Skyrim and Creation Kit Thanks to faeriexdecay's support and artistic intervention, my originally lame-looking Bosmers, especially the female Bosmer, have improved graphically. Thanks for your assistance, faerie! Thanks to Blackie's CM New Companions mod's helpful "CM Creating Custom Companions" notepad file. Corroborated by forum talk, I've been able to fix the annoying Head Tint issue, as well as improve my mod substantially. Kudos to faeriexdecay for directing me to him! You both saved me lots of frustration, I'm sure! Thanks a bunch to BravoOskar for answering my questions and getting issues resolved. I'd like to collaborate and learn more from him. His Custom NPC mods are light years better than mine in many ways, especially graphically. Thanks goes to all the patient modders out there who delivered all these great mods and instigated me to try my hand at modding. This is just the beginning, I hope :)

Mysteriously, Skyrim shipped with no Khajiit or Bosmer NPCs who could be spouses. No marriageable Khajiit and Bosmer were available (as of 04/15/2012) in Vanilla Skyrim when I created the first rendition of this mod. To my knowledge, at that point, there were no Khajiit and a few Bosmer Custom NPCs available who can be BOTH Followers and Spouses. Therefore, to answer this gap and discrimination against Bosmer and Khajit races, I created this duo mod. I split it up into two mods. The Khajiit pair of one male and one female NPCs are included in this mod. The Bosmer pair of one male and one female NPCs in my accompanying mod. As of Version 2.0, both male and female characters are downloaded together as one package.

[Replaces OUTDATED NPC Editor and ESM/ESP Methods in Log History File] Everything works. All Follower and Spouse functions work. 100% tested and verified. Still, please do report any bugs/glitches/odd behavior, etc.

==================================== REQUIRED MOD [Master File] ==================================== Apachii Sky Hair by apachii Note: Be sure to have a total of 3 Apachii Sky Hair files (main, males, and females). Otherwise, no custom hairs!
For ease of use, download and install using Nexus Mod Manager. For manual install, simply extract the contents of the archive into your Data folder. For proper mod sorting, BOSS is no longer supported. BOSS version 3.0 is effectively LOOT. So now, as of 12/06/2014, I recommend LOOT for load order sorting: LOOT
-Installation: A. NMM: Just click "Download with Manager" B. Manual: Unpack and Drop the ESP file and the Meshes/Textures folders under your Data folder with other ESP files and folders
-Uninstallation: A. NMM: Just click "Unsubscribe" and/or "Delete" B> Manual: Just delete the BosmerCompanion.ESP under Data and the BosmerCompanion.esp folders in the Meshes and Textures folders.
