About this mod

Give a selected follower NPC shapeshifting abilities at anytime.

Permissions and credits
Shapeshifter Follower Framework is a resource that allows Follower NPCs to have the ability to shapeshift into other forms. In the TES lore they were called Changelings.

No Requirements.

Install: Use a mod manager or install "data" to Skyrim directory.

Details:
-Independent framework that works with vanilla follower system.
-Works with custom framework followers like Lucien, Inigo, Sofia, etc
-Works on custom race followers and possibly other creature followers like Dragons.
-Default form is a Dragon.

User end:

  • Spells are added on load.
  • Simply cast the set shapeshifter on your follower of choice.
  • Done. Your follower will now shapeshift into the desired creature you want and will have the functional AI for it.
To remove the ability cast the set shapeshifter spell on the follower again.

Modder's Usage:

  • The default shapeshift form is a Dragon. Changing to other human races works too.
  • Everything is setup in the Script Properties of the Shapeshifting Magic Effect.
  • There is additional properties for adding, spells, shouts and perks. Add more properties if your creature requires it.

Example would be for adding spells/abilities Atronachs use if you change them into one of those forms. Same goes for Dragons and shouts.
This allows for cool combos like a fire breathing werewolf, cause why not?

Known Issues:
  • You can transform at will inside interiors so beware if you try this on giant creatures.
  • Sometimes Dragons will land far away. Make them fly again and wait for an hour.
  • Some races appear to be invisible or some followers will become invisible when transformed.
  • Some animations don't line up with equipped weapon. (Giants club has the reach of a longsword.)
  • Some HDT items CTD when transforming.

Permissions:
This mod is open source.

Bifteki for Faallokaar and the original inspiration.

Thank you to everyone that encouraged me through PMs to do this. Sorry for the long wait, not all features I hoped for made it (set the changed form type) but hopefully someone will build on this...Skyblivion needs to get done.

You for reading to the end.

oh btw, yes there is potential for a bard follower system like this too.
