-------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
For the mod to work it requires: 'Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch' which was created by: Unofficial Patch Project Team and uploaded by: Arthmoor
I had no part in the creation of that mod and all credit goes to the Unofficial Patch Project Team for their work.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Important information before installing!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Because of the way the game is programmed, NPC's walk animations are constant values that are assigned when the NPC is created
and is linked to save data. So if you start a playthrough with the mod installed, acquire Lydia as a follower after defeating the first
dragon, and uninstall the mod, her walk animation will still be the new
female walk animation!!! Please keep this in mind.

- The mod works best when installed for a new play-through (or at least before you encounter Lydia in the main story). If you use the mod on a current save after having acquired Lydia as a follower you will encounter two small issues. The first issue will be that her walking animation will not change to the female animation. Because of the way the game is programmed, NPC's walk animations are constant values that are assigned when the NPC is created and is linked to save data. The second bug is that when you first see Lydia again she will be wearing the Destruction robes, but as soon as you leave the area or trade items with her she will be back in her steel armour. To fix this just trade with her and take away her steel armour. She will be wearing the Destruction robes again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Known issues:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you play the game in windowed mode the following bug might happen. After installing the mod, your game might freeze the first time you load a save. The window will show (not responding). Don't press anything and wait 10 seconds. The game will unfreeze and continue properly from then on. This bug only happens once if it does happen.
- Most likely will conflict with other Lydia mods to some extent. If you would like me to make a compatibility update for a certain other Lydia mod post a comment and I will consider it.

Installation instructions:
After downloading the .7z file unzip it and move the Lydia_is_jzargo.esp file into your
Skyrim's Data folder. The default location of this folder is usually:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\Data
After doing that change the load order so that the Lydia_is_jzargo.esp file is at the bottom of your load order.
Your load order should look something like this:
Dawnguard.esm
Hearthfires.esm
Dragonborn.esm
Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.esp
HighResTexturePack01.esp
HighResTexturePack02.esp
HighResTexturePack03.esp
(Other mod's .esp files)
Lydia_is_jzargo.esp
