This mod overhauls the following NPCs: Lydia, Jordis the Sword Maiden, Iona, Mjoll the Lioness, Uthgerd the Unbroken, Sylgja, Saadia, Borgakh the Steel Heart, Urog, Lash gra-Dushnikh, and Ugor.

Version 2.01 has the same npcs from v1.0 but has the alternate warpaint version of Saadia, and adds five of the Companions: Aela the Huntress, Farkas, Vilkas, Ria, and Njada Stonearm.



All followers are:
+set to essential
+potential followers
+potential marriage
+auto-level with PC with no level cap.
+have feminine animations (excpet Farkas and Vilkas)
+have the combat and stealth perks that their starting skill levels would allow, as well as light foot.
+Saadia has the magic perks that her starting skill levels would allow.
+I implemented varying level multipliers (between 1.0 and .65) correlating to their perk counts from how strong their starting skills were, so that some followers would always be tougher than others. However my testing has led me to believe that the level multiplier variable gets burned into your save game the first time they are loaded into your game, so this feature will only work as intended if they haven't been loaded into your game yet, or you're starting a new game.

This mod has Unofficial Skyrim Patch by Unofficial Patch Project Team implemented fixes for these characters integrated into it, as well as changes to Grimsever to make it a glass greatsword.

This mod has a change to the orc race to make female orcs use female animations.

The UFO patch has references to the housecarls' packages from UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul by fLokii integrated into the .esp. UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp from v1.2i is a master file for this patch. You will CTD at startup if you use this patch without having UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul v1.2i installed.

This mod gives all these NPCs, except Saadia, Apachii hairs from ApachiiSkyHair by Apachii. Both ApachiiSkyHair_v_1_5_Full and ApachiiSkyHairFemale_v_1_3 are required to be installed. If you don't have both installed you will CTD at startup. Both ApachiiHair.esm and ApachiiHairFemale.esm are master files for this mod.
Thank you Apachii for making these awesome hairs!

This mod gives all these NPCs 2K HD warpaints from TairenSoul Female Face Tattoo Warpaint by TairenSoul. Thank you TairenSoul for making these awesome warpaints! TairenSoul has made a huge selection of warpaints to play with. Everybody go try some of these on your PCs, and give an endorsement while you're there.

This mod gives all these NPCs 2K HD makeup from Better Makeup for SKSE by Diethardt. Thank you Diethardt for making these awesome makeup tintmasks! Everybody get these HD makeups and check out Diethardt's 2K HD warpaints as well, they're great! And give an endorsement while you're there.

You should use SKSE 1.6.13. Thanks to an INI setting added to SKSE, it is now possible to use HD (2048x2048) Makeup and warpaint tintmaks applied to your character rather than being limited to the vanilla resolution (256x256). To allow this you MUST have SKSE installed and you should add these lines to your SKSE.INI:

[Display]
iTintTextureResolution=2048

Note: Prior to the introduction of this SKSE settings, no matter how big the makeup or warpaint textures were, the game downscaled them to the vanilla resolution at 256 x 256. This setting though, while allowing for higher resolution makeup textures, will cause low resolution makeup textures to look worse due to upscaling.

Because these are done in Hi Def 2048 x 2048, if you do not use this SKSE tweak, the Makeup will look more pixelated than in the screeshots.

I use and recommend the following additional appearance mods to get the same appearance as the screenshots:
K ENB by Kyokushinoyama
Mature skin texture and body for UNP CBBE ADEC by Maevan2
Women of Skyrim-Enhanced female normalmaps by zzjay
Dry Skin by Svarog
High Resolution Scars by Xenius
The Eyes Of Beauty by Gabriel Mailhot
Brows by Hvergelmir
Smile in HD by zzjay
83Willows WHITER TEETH 4all - Orc Khajiit Argonian Werewolf by 83Willow

Installation:
Everything is NMM friendly for easy install.
Install main version Dova's Angels v1.0
If you use UFO install Dova's Angels v1.0 UFO Patch, overwrite the Dova's Angel.esp when prompted.
If you don't want warpaints, install the Dova's Angels v1.0 No Warpaint Patch, overwrite the 11 tintmask ########.dds files when prompted.
If you don't want warpaints or makeup (au natural), install the Dova's Angels v1.0 No Warpaint No Makeup Patch, overwrite the 11 tintmask ########.dds files when prompted.
You can change the tintmasks on an individual NPC basis, just manually install the correct tintmaks for the NPC you want to alter. Only the ########.dds file needs to be changed to switch an NPCs tintmask.

Troubleshooting:
If you have trouble getting Saadia or Urog to give you the follow me prompt use the following console commands:
for Saadia

for Urog
