Sarharien the Red - v0.9 (August 6, 2012)
=========================================================================================

A follower & marriage enabled NPC, modelled after a mix between myself (at a much MUCH
younger age), and the brave Scottish heroine from the latest animated blockbuster by
those mousey-peoples. ;)

=========================================================================================
BACKGROUND
=========================================================================================

Who doesn't think about crafting their own "super-hero" likeness to put into Skyrim?
Especially when you're a natural redhead AND from Scottland? I mean, come on... it was
just begging to be done! Thus was born, Sarharien - super me! LOL >.

I'm still figuring out the Creation Kit and all it's features, so I don't profess this mod
to be anything other than my little creation project for self-enjoyment. If you like it,
bonus for you! Either way, I appreciate the opportunity to share on the Nexus, and look
forward to your feedback.


=========================================================================================
MOD DESCRIPTION & LOCATION
=========================================================================================

A follower & marriage enabled NPC, located in Solitude, in the only shop that she could
ever call "home". Redhead who favours the bow over the blade. She's highly customized
based on a number of epic mods already out on the Nexus, so please review the REQUIRED
COMPONENTS before you install and activate my follower mod.

Sarharien comes with some enchanted weapons and jewelry, along with clothing items that
*YOU* can decide how to enchant, by using any workbench (but not at Skyforge). Given
her high degree of Marksman ability and her tendency to favour a bow over her blade, I
would recommend archery/marksman or health/stamina enchantments to augment her abilities.

Sarharien is flagged "ESSENTIAL" in this version. Those of you familiar with the console
commands or Creation Kit, can probably figure out how to turn this "off" if you would
prefer her to be able to die. <sob><br><br><br>=========================================================================================<br>&gt;&gt;&gt;**REQUIRED COMPONENTS YOU MUST INSTALL *FIRST*, BEFORE USING MY MOD**<br>=========================================================================================<br><br>1) "ApachiiSkyHair" v1.4 or higher by Apachii<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Must be above my mod in your load list. Incredible epic hair of awesomeness!<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Download from SkyrimNexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/10168<br><br>2) "Improved Freckles Skyrim" by missjennabee<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>This wonderful mod author totally GETS IT when it comes to freckles. I love her<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>work, and can't get enough of it! (She does awesome screenshots too!) <br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Download from SkyrimNexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16147<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> <br>3) "The Chronicles of Steel -Skyrim- Realswords NEXUS EXCLUSIVE" by Waalx &amp; ShinGouki<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Okay, other than a REALLY long mod-name (LOL) this great addon has some of the<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>BEST arrow/quiver graphics that I have yet to see for Skyrim. Of course, being<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>a bowchick, Sarharien uses only the *BEST* arrows.<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Download from SkyrimNexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12506<br><br>4) "Isilmeriel LOTR Weapons Collection" by Isilmeriel<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Since my original MMO namesake started her life in LOTRO-land, I found it fitting<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>to equip her with some wonderful weapons from this great mod.<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Download from SkyrimNexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5727<br><br>5) "Scarves of Skyrim" by Natterforme<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>This incredible collection of DOZENS of scarves is an incredible, often lore-<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>friendly clothing mod to spice up your characters. Personally, I love the <br><span class="wbbtab"></span>(oddly named) "Lumberjack" scarf for Sarharien, as it most closely represents<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>a Scottish tartan design.<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Download from SkyrimNexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16660<br><br>6) "Pearly-white Dress" by Nayhaan<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>(** Mod not required but HIGHLY recommended **)<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>I'm sure many of you out there agree, that the default "Wedding Dress" in Skyrim<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>is not the greatest representation of something beautiful that a bride would<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>want to wear. I mean, yes, the gown is "fancy", but no more so than what you<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>see on other "fine clothed" NPCs in the game. However, this incredible WEDDING<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>DRESS REPLACER MOD, provides a beautiful, pearl-accented, white wedding dress<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>into Skyrim, and one that I found suited Sarharien's red hair and tartan scarf<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>just perfectly. Although the mod author, site and file are Russian, many of<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>us have tested the mod with the English version of Skyrim, and it works just<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>fine (AFAIK texture filenames that are being replaced are the same in every<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>language version of Skyrim).<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Download from Anvilbay.ru: http://anvilbay.ru/files/wbdress/<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Filename link partway down the page: ArwenWBDress.7z<br><br>7) "Calientes Female Body Mod Big Bottom Edition -CBBE-" by Caliente **SLIM VERSION**<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>(** Mod not required but recommended to match screenshots **)<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>I'm not a huge fan of nudity mods, but I am appreciative of mods that provide<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>some reasonably improved representation of the female form as it pertains to <br><span class="wbbtab"></span>my particular taste. Personally I have installed and am using Caliente's<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>**SLIM VERSION** of CBBE, as it is most compatible with a number of clothing<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>mods that I enjoy, and is not "over-the-top-anime-ridiculously-proportioned".<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Again, just my oppinion on the matter, and just letting you know what I've used<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>during creation of this follower mod. I have not tested the scarves or white<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>wedding dress replacer on any other body/skeleton mods.<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>Download from SkyrimNexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2666<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>**SLIM VERSION can be found inside the main mod as an optional set of folders<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> and files to install after the main file installation. <br><br><br>=========================================================================================<br>CURRENT FEATURES<br>=========================================================================================<br><br>v0.9<br>- First release. Expecting bugs and glitches to be reported, though she's worked fine<br> for me in game so far!<br><br>=========================================================================================<br>FUTURE PLANS<br>=========================================================================================<br><br>- Working with another mod author on a unique new bow. Stay tuned!<br>- Other plans unknown &amp; undecided at this time - will review all feedback with an open mind.<br><br>**BE WARNED: <br><span class="wbbtab"></span>This project is primarily for MY enjoyment, so your suggestions, pains, desires<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>or complaints may not always result in changes. ** Use at your own risk. **<br><br><br>=========================================================================================<br>WARNING - WARRANTEE NOT INCLUDED<br>=========================================================================================<br><br>Okay - let's just all get on the same page here. I'm not perfect - well, Canadian, natural<br>redhead of Scottish origins - so close, but still, NOT perfect. The things I create, that<br>WE create as a community, are not perfect either. Neither is the wonderful Skyrim game from<br>Bethesda (gasp!). Our intentions as authors and creators however, is to get as close as we <br>can, with the tools and knowledge and skills available to us. Keep this in mind when using<br>any content for any game, along with a healthy dose of patience and tollerance, and you'll<br>enjoy the journey a lot more.<br><br>I do NOT guarantee my mod or its contents to work on any computer but my own, nor do I <br>guarantee its performance or impact on any environment other than what I've got installed <br>myself. I have done my best to ensure it functions as I have advertised in this readme, <br>having spent more than 10 hours of development and playtesting time with my mod content. <br><br>I do NOT promise to respond to every bug, every request for enhancement, every comment nor<br>every email I receive regarding this mod. I am not intentionally going to ignore them<br>either, but please realize that I have a life, a full time job, and two wonderful teenage<br>daughters that keep me busy. I game and mod for fun, and take the time out of my life when<br>I can manage. I will try my best to keep up with comments and bugs, and to the best of my<br>ability and with what time I have available, I will endeavor to update this mod over time.<br><br>I do NOT expect everyone to love this mod. I made it with myself in mind, and I completely<br>understand that YOU are not all perfect, Canadian, natural redheads. ;) I'll just go with<br>an expectation that I will love this mod myself - anyone else that finds joy in it, is <br>icing on my cake! :)<br><br><br>=========================================================================================<br>INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS<br>=========================================================================================<br><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;**PLEASE REVIEW THE "REQUIRED COMPONENTS" SECTION EARLIER IN THE README**<br><span class="wbbtab"></span><br><span class="wbbtab"></span>If you DON'T install the required components, this MOD will likely:<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>- cause errors during Skyrim loading<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>- cause CTD exits during gameplay<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>- cause my NPC to appear naked/unclothed<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>* Do yourself a favour, install the required components, or DON'T USE MY MOD.<br><br><br>&gt;&gt;&gt;**NEW INSTALLATIONS**<br><br>1) Extract my RAR file into your Skyrim\Data Folder, maintaining the folder structures,<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>or use NMM.<br><br>2) Please install ALL the *REQUIRED COMPONENTS* listed earlier in this readme file.<br><br>3) Run Skyrim Launcher, and enter "DATA FILES" option, ensuring that this newly added <br><span class="wbbtab"></span>"sarharien.esp" is activated for loading. It *MUST* be loaded *AFTER* all the<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>*REQUIRED COMPONENTS* mentioned earlier in this readme.<br><br>4) Start Skyrim, and enjoy!<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>**RECOMMEND you immediately make a new save game &amp; re-load the new save before seeking<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> the new follower out. Additionally, if you are already at your max number of<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> followers and/or already married, then those dialogue options will likely *NOT* show<br><span class="wbbtab"></span> up for you when you meet her.**<br><br><br>=========================================================================================<br>TO UNINSTALL (gasp! /sadface)<br>=========================================================================================<br><br>&gt;&gt;MANUAL UNINSTALL<br>1) If you installed it manually, delete these files from your Skyrim folder: <br><span class="wbbtab"></span><br><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span>\Data\sarharien.esp <br><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span>\Data\Meshes\Actors\Character\facegendata\facegeom\sarharien.esp\*.*<br><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span>\Data\Textures\Actors\facegendata\facetint\sarharien.esp\*.*<br><br><br>&gt;&gt;OTHER INSTALL METHODS<br>2) If you installed with another method, follow that method's uninstallation instructions,<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>or manually uninstall as noted above.<br><br>* Don't worry, I won't hold it against you - but I do thank you for trying it out anyways!<br><br><span class="wbbtab"></span><br>=========================================================================================<br>CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES<br>=========================================================================================<br><br>1) Sometimes, Sarharien won't initially show you all her inventory. Usually this can be<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>fixed after you trade her something. Just re-ask her to show her your inventory, and<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>the second time, everything should show up. *ALTERNATIVELY*, those of you using the<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>"UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul", can just ask her: "You could dress better...", <br><span class="wbbtab"></span>after which time she will correctly show you all her inventory items.<br><br>If you find issues, be so kind as to post in the comments on Skyrim Nexus for this file.<br>I'm not a perfect modder - I expect errors to come up for some people. You don't have the<br>same system as me, nor the same settings, so don't expect the same behaviour in all <br>circumstances! :) Be patient and understanding - I have done my best to avoid problems<br>while allowing for a clean uninstall. <br><br>"Patience is not learned in a weekend." ~Anon<br><br><br>=========================================================================================<br>COMPATABILITY TESTED<br>=========================================================================================<br><br>I have personally installed and am using the following mods along with my follower mod, <br>and do not presently suffer from any conflicts or CTDs (I have UFO loading AFTER my mod):<br><br>via Skyrim Nexus:<br>- 83Willows 101BugsHD Butterfly Dragonfly Luna-Moth Torchbug<br>- A Classier BB Luxury Suite<br>- ApachiiSkyHair<br>- Auto Unequip Arrows<br>- Bandit Raids<br>- Bathing Beauties or Beefcake - Luxury Suite<br>- Better Bows<br>- Better Circlets HQ V1o1<br>- Cloaks of Skyrim<br>- Glowing Ore veins 300<br>- Improved Freckles Skyrim<br>- JaySuS Swords<br>- Lanterns of Skyrim - All In One<br>- Matherian Viking Shields Set - MVSS<br>- Modders Resource Pack<br>- Modders Resource-Weapon Racks-Bookshelves-Plaques-Mannequins<br>- Nicos Craftable Arrows<br>- RANs Eybrow Replacer 01-08<br>- RANs Eyeliner Replacer<br>- Scarves of Skyrim<br>- See You Sleep by Madmole<br>- Skyrim HD - 2K Textures<br>- The Ashen - Oriental Beauty Race<br>- The Chronicles of Steel - Skyrim- Realswords NEXUS EXCLUSIVE<br>- The Eyes Of Beauty<br>- Tribunal robes set<br>- UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul<br>- Unique Booze Bottles HD<br>- WATER - Water And Terrain Enhancement Redux<br>- Wearable Lanterns<br>* plus numerous add-on armors &amp; follower NPC mods<br><br>via Steam Workshop:<br>- City Houses Light / Shadows Fix<br>- Complete Skyforge<br>- Enhanced High-Level Gameplay<br>- Isilmeriel's LOTR Weapons<br>- Legible Road Sings High Res<br>- Open Face Guard Helms<br>- Realistic Map + Roads !<br>- Sounds of Skyrim - The Dungeons<br>- Sounds of Skyrim - The Wilds<br>- The Cartographers Map Markers<br>- Vicious Weapon Pack<br><br><br>=========================================================================================<br>THANKS &amp; CREDITS TO OTHERS (I highly endorse and recommend all mods mentioned below!!!)<br>=========================================================================================<br><br>Thanks to...<br><br>- apachii: For his "ApachiiSkyHair" - an incredible mod giving us amazing new hairstyles<br><span class="wbbtab"></span><span class="wbbtab"></span>for our NPCs!
