This mod is for the game The-Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim.

I've done a few companion followers before in Oblivion but Kayseey is my most challenging yet. So fear not I've yabbad dabbled and done my share of meeting some challenging learning curves. Suffice to say I mod cause I like it and cause it's a great way to say thanks to all of you modders out there who have given us that much more to play with in our favorite games. So Thanks a bunch guys, I am amazed at the depth of the modding community and I hope my modest contribution can make your life a little more pleasant as you have done for me - au revoir for now ;) - I guess I should mention however that sometimes even through our best efforts we can overlook something and/or just didn't think of something that needed our attention so please be kind to all modders out there people, me included. Constructive comments are always welcome.



FOMOD options available during install include:
* One follower or 2, either or both - one ESP.
* The LE version for Skyrim now has OMOD ready installers.
* Choice to install as either UNP or CBBE, for either, or for both, one ESP.
* There's 3 OMOD packages. For UNP only, CBBE only, or both those two together in same OMOD.
* Option for Hair colours, eye colours, 3 or so options more for CBBE & the same goes for UNP textures too.
* A choice to install among 3 body sizes. CBBE include 
Classic, Perky, Slim - UNP include UNP Default, Perky, Skinny.


What's New in version 1.29.5
Block Training for KC was updated to overcome a USLEEP conflict.
Alteration Training for Katriss was updated for precautionary reasons.
Updated the skeleton(s) to latest version of XPMSE version 4.80
Spark Spell for Katriss is now Left-Hand only. Spark Spell for Kayseey is now Right-Hand only.

This latest update looks safe to simply overwrite any previous versions with.
I had no problems using this update on my last save by replacing the older ESP.

What's New in 2021 - Version 1.29.3
*** Different voices, Katriss has Sultry - can marry & adopt. (was Commander)
*** Kayseey has a YoungEager voice now. Can marry & adopt. (was EvenToned)
*** Summon scrolls were added in two locations for these two followers. It doubles the odds of bumping
into them. Normally they'd come up & greet you, now you can use a scroll to make first contact also.
*** I got around to cleaning up the corpses of the slain opponents from both their respective quests.
*** Invisible torch carry bug was fixed. Shouldn't carry invisible torch now & again anymore.
*** I did not ESL their two .esp files. Next best thing was to merge the two mods instead.
*** Version 1.29.2 includes updated facegendata files to prevent possible *grey face bug* issues.
*** Version 1.29.3 Removed Atronach Perk from Katriss, magical visual effect would stick to her sometimes.

The scrolls are new so explanation. Scrolls to summon them can be found in 2 caves.
When you install both followers then scrolls for both women will be found in each cave.
If you only install Kayseey, her scrolls are in the Quicksilver mine in Dawnstar.
Katriss standalone has scrolls in the Steamscorch mine in Kynesgrove.



Location for Kayseey
Ivarstead exterior, near the Sawmill and Fellstar farm
Minimum level required for her to accept following you is 3
She is friends with Lynly Star-Sung, the bard working at the Vilemyr Inn.

Learn more about her cousin Katriss by visiting her Skyrim LE. page, Katriss high-elf Altmer companion OMOD.

Before you read the long list of Perks & such and think she's overpowered I need to remind players that to get to higher tiers in one field the lower tier also has to be included within the followers Perks.

Too many followers in Skyrim want to be good & great at some things but alas the followers don't have the lower perks which makes the higher perks unobtainable, even if the follower has it included.

Example: a follower can be Adept in a magic school & have that Perk but Novice & Apprentice must be included in their Perks also or the Adept & higher tier Perks will never be granted. They are prerequisites.
