First of all, I apologize for my bad English.

Introduction.
Since Oblivion, I always desired to have mu custom companions. Unfortunately, my scripting skill was not enough to manage a decent and stable script, so I was forced to use CM Companion Mod to have custom NPC by my side, helping me in fighting Daedra. I was not too happy, but this was enough for me. Today, I am in condition to do my followers for Skyrim. I like to share them with community.
This is one of them.
I hope you can enjoy travelling Skyrim in good company.


Description
===========
This mod adds to the Skyrim Gameworld a female Breton Witchunter named Samhair that can be found in Jorrvaskr in Whirerun.
She can be married.
There are 2 versions: Not essential and essential.
Use only one version!

Help, endorsement and screenshots are welcome.


Location
========
Jorrvaskr in Whirerun.

Details
=======
This is my first attempt to do a complete mage companion. Samhair was rebuilded starting from zero and she is very different from first version: she has another hairstile, but primarily she has her own Class, as well as her own combat style, and a complete set of glass armor in her inventory, and also a good sword, and a staff. Samhair 1.0 was a knight that in some occasion can use spell, while Samhair 1.1 is a mage that currently use magic and sword without much thinking abuout it.
Light armour, one hand sword and staffs are preferred, in particular a combination of them.
The A.I. was simplified, to have less problem in finding her when dismissed, her speed was reduced to 100 by requests of community, and her circlet existed no more.

Whith precision:
She can level up with player from level 5 to level 100.
Voice: Female Sultry .
Class: Combat Witchunter. (Custom)
Combat Style: Witchunter. (Custom)

Basic stats at level 5:
One-handed 22
Two-handed 15
Archery 15
Block 15
Smithing 15
Heavy Armour17
Light Armour 22
Pickpocket 15
Sneak 15
Alchemy 20
Speech20
Alteration 22
Conjuration 27
Destruction 22
Illusion20
Restoration 25
Enchanting15

Speed 100


We can discuss until tomorrow about the look of this NPC. I don't think that it is important. This is a follower mod, so it is important, in my opinion, to focus efforts on functions of the NPC, not on the look. If possible, it is right to give a good appearance to new followers, but it is a secondary thing.
The appearance of this NPC remember the face of Lisette the bard, this is an evidence. I started from this face to do this follower, but nothing have been changed on original Lisette. This NPC have another ID and another AI. I have tested all versions for many hours, and all works in clear way. You can consider her as you want, the sister of Lisette, or a similar NPC, or a Lisette mod or whatever you want; it don't matter to me. She will help you in your travels. This is the goal.
Please, avoid useless comments on the look of this NPC!
She live in Jorrvaskr and there she will come back when dismissed. I like this function, I will not change it.
There are 2 versions of this file. You must choose only one, according to your preferences.

I use these mods to help functions of my followers:

1) multFollowers0.4b; it is useful bo build a team of followers.

2) CM Companion Level Mod; here is the link:
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13790
This mod will update the companion's skills to their current level to keep pace with the player, so they will ever be good fighters.

3) Ask Follower Skill; here is the link:
http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=10675
This mod can make you know all abilities of your followers.


In my system are installed these aesthetic mods:

CBBE V3 (standard body) and the hip texture compatability pack:

Bella's Better Females version 3:

If you don't use this combination of mods, her look will be different from the look of the screenshots.




Install
=======

I like very much Nexus Mod Manager, it is perfect for me. I suggest to use it, but....your choice.

Pick which method you are going to use for installation:

Nexus Mod Manager Installation
- = or = -
Manual installation

Nexus Mod Manager installation:
Download the file with Nexus Mod Manager. Activate it. Done.

Manual Installation:
Place the zip file's contents into your Skyrim/data folder to install and be sure to activate the ESP and ESM files in your Data Files listing.

NMM downloading problem.
I have seen that in early hours after uploading a file, NMM can not give the possibility to download new files using the button "download with manager". An error message says that file do not exist. After one or two hours, the problem is automatically solved. I don't know why this happens, maybe it is related to high traffic that Nexus server is forced to tolerate.

In this case, you can follow these instructions:
1) Download the file manually.
2) Open NMM.
3) Hit the black arrow located in the left high button and choose " Add Mod from file".
4) Locate and select the file that you have downloaded manually.
5) Hit "open" button.
6) From Mod's list, select the created file and activate it. Done.

----------------


Upgrade
=======

Upgrading from version 1.0: It is necessary to remove all items from inventory of Samhair 1.0 before upgrading to version 1.1, then deactivate version 1.0 and activate version 1.1. If you do not follow the instructions, all itms in your inventory will be lost.



Incompatibility
===============
None known.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
Samhair has an hairstyle taken from Apachii SkyHair; if you have not installed it, your game will CTD.
If you decide to marry her, it is better to tell her where she can live with you BEFORE she leaves the temple in Riften.
This follower was developed to work with Multi followers, CM Companion Level mod and Ask Follower Skills. Running it with these mods means keeping it clear and bug free.
This do not means that it can't be used under UFO; I haven't UFO, so I cannot say what can happen if you use it under UFO itself.
Talking of load order, it is fundamental to run this file AFTER UFO itself, this can avoid best part of eventual problems.
I can't see any reason to develop a version specifically to run with UFO. If my files are clear without it, eventual problems are to be considered of UFO itself, not mine.
