About this mod

This gives you the choice between 8 presets (4 hdt hair, 4 of the same, non-hdt hair); you can install any number of them at once and you can also use them with Familiar Faces to get them as followers. I did.

Permissions and credits
Aeyana and Solara now have their own standalone follower versions, thanks to mfeile1974!!
-- http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/81283

Their backgrounds: some people don't notice that it's all explained lower on this page. You're looking for 'The characters and stories (in short):' - right below the sentence 'Aeyana is the one it all started with.' , there is a screenshot. Below that you can find the info.





-The presets are for RaceMenu and each comes in 2 flavors, meaning there are 8 presets total. The followers are Familiar Faces followers and thus require other mods to work as intended. Installation instructions will be provided and I will soon add an installation video, too-
 
Welcome to 4 Racemenu Presets andFamiliar Faces Followers. I will cover the characters' backgrounds,requirements, recommendations (mods I use), 2 known issues, installation and some other things.

Please note that this is my firsttime sharing my characters. If things do not work properly and you’re certain I did something wrong, please tell me and I will do my best to fix the issue.

First off, what this does is pretty much your own choice. You can get 1 preset or all 8 if you want (4 with HDT hair and the same 4 without HDT hair). You
only have to use familiar faces if you want them as your followers. And even then, you get to choose. No need to install them all if you don't want to.

Note that you can use all followers in 1 game. Even if you play as 1 of the girls already you can also summon a clone if you wish to do so.

Note that my characters wereoriginally saved in familiar faces with gwelda armor pack/merta assassin/Lustmordarmor/emfy cleric robes/faction  crossbows/diamond smithing/fragcilin use, but I simply gave them vanilla stuff equipped later toavoid missing or unwanted outfits. Installing these armors and weaponsmay give you a set already when you summon them, however this all toooften doesn't work for armors, but it does work for weapons, usually. Ibelieve for as long as they are unenchanted. Fragcil fpr instance has never carried over for me.

The characters and stories (in short):
 
Aeyana is the one it all started with.



She is based on a girl from a book I was writing but kind of dropped. In that story she was an angel. In Skyrim, she is a good girl and transforms into a holy warrior. She helps everyone, hunts vampires, dragons, etc. She is merciful; run away and she lets you, but betray her and her cause and she will make you regret it.
She is a 20 year old petite blondegirl with twin tails. Originally she actually had red hair and blue eyes, now she has blonde hair and green eyes. She uses one handed weapons, bows, crossbows, light armor and restoration magic. She wields fragcil’s holy sword version; a sword that grows along with herself. She’s currently in my Aeyana-only game on the side of the Dawnguard, with the dawnguard crossbow and fragcil, wearing the Dawnguard armor from the Gwelda Armor Pack.
In my combined save, ‘The FourHuntresses’ she is the eldest of the 4 sisters, but the shortest and the weakest. However, she is very reliable and smart, does most of the work, all the crafting, campfire building, skinning etc. She even keeps a journal through Take Notes! By LordConti2 - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48375/? – I can share the journal of thatplaythrough if that is requested. In this combined savegame she wears the Maxi Armor and Shredded Triss Armor, mainly. And all 4 sisters use bows instead of their normal arsenal.
 
Gircya started out as a completely different character whom was based on an elf, but I revamped her by making her a black-haired, icy blue-eyed vampire version of Aeyana in a different savegame.



She is the tallest of the 4, but still slightly shorter than default. The original Gircya started as 10% taller than default. She uses all magic schools, but prefers blood magic by cansit: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67555/? - and ice magic. She also uses theLustmord Armor and Lustmord crossbow. She’s 20 years old (think different dimension Aeyana) and likes toying with her opponents before brutally killing
them. And blood. Lots of blood to drink in Skyrim, you know?
In the combined savegame she is theeldest after Aeyana (because I made her after Aeyana), is still a vampire, but liked peace and uses her powers for good. To help her sisters, mainly. She wears the black version of Shredded Triss mainly in this savegame and like all other 3, she uses bows.
 
Solara is closer to the original Aeyana in terms of looks and perhaps my favorite.



Her length is between Aeyana and Gircya, she has red hair and green eyes. She is a ruthless killer, an assassin whom relies on her own strength. Also 20 years old, differentdimension Aeyana. She wears the merta assassin armor without tattoos, dual wields the Merta Assassin Daggers laced with a poison enchantment and the Dark Brotherhood Crossbow.
In the combined savegame she is thesecond-youngest (just think in terms of minutes. They are quadruplets, after all) and wears the gwelda red riding hood outfit, mostly. From time to time I decide to use retextures to make it seem as if she changed clothes, too. She also uses a bow, just like her other sisters in this combined save.
 
Biya is a character whom in a different story was actually the baby daughter of Diabor (DiaborMagics, my username and IGN, is based on that story).



I decided to make her the missing brunette version of Aeyana and so I did. She joined the Companions and became a werewolf, but cannot control herself when she transforms. Normally she is almost just as much of a holy warrior as Aeyana herself, but this blue-eyed brunette thinks like the companions tend to do: only help others if the pay is good. She wears the emfy cleric robes in her own save and wields the emfy mace and shield and sapphire crossbow. She is equally as tall as Solara.
In the combined savegame she is theyoungest sister, in mere minutes, but everyone acts as if she is in fact a few years younger. She has the role of the little sister and has to do virtually nothing. She gets protection around the clock, basically, but can stand on her own two feet perfectly fine. She is a werewolf there, too, but no one cares. She never transforms anymore anyway. She wears the red colored huntress outfit from zzjays wardrobe and the red brown version of the shredded triss armor in the combned savegame and uses bows just like everyone else. I use hircines influence as main weapon mod in that savegame.
 
Installation instructions are present in the archives themselves. I will
probably put up an installation instruction video soon.

 
Known Issues (2 minor things):
1 – the girls have 2 necks. Sort of.This is because I made Aeyana in ECE/ECEE first and later exported her to RaceMenu. I think this is the cause, not sure. But I don’t have the original mod/preset anymore, only RaceMenu, so I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve spent a year trying to fix it and no one could help, so if there is a magician out there who knows how to fix it: all help is welcome! – I cover up the neck thing with necklaces and chokers. Usually chokers, they cover more and look hot :p
The neck problem is more apparent if different light sources than the sun are cast on their faces/necks. I wish I could change this, but... I really need help if I'm going to want to be able to.

2 – Gircya has a weird glowing wasin my game when I summon her using Familiar Faces. No idea why. Have tried to export her multiple times and resummon her multiple times, but the face still glows. It was not my intention to create a Twilight vampire, but here ya sort of go… if anyone knows how to fix this, too, any help would be appreciated. It’s not a big deal though, its merely something to get used to (to me) and maybe you guys wont have a problem with it.
