Description



========================================================



Tired of all those old, beat up looking male followers in Skyrim? Wishing you had some nice
eyecandy to stare at while you are out on your adventures? Looking for that "Knight in
Shining Armor"?? Then look no further, this is the mod you have been looking for!






Detail




========================================================

This mod places a unique follower named Danicus, an Imperial Battlemage, into The Frozen Hearth Inn, in Winterhold. He uses Heavy armor, lots of fire spells, a couple ice spells, a couple lightning spells, and some healing spells. He is hireable and marriageable and should be compatible with multiple follower mods, such as UFO, Followers Can Relax, etc.

Please let me know if you have any problems with installing or using this mod.



This Project is a continual work in progress, I will be adding more companions, I hope to
eventually make them standalone mods, and to combine all the followers into one mod at some
point. I also hope to possibly create some unique armors and textures in the future as my skill with modding increases.


Future Compaions - works in progress
============================
A Battlemage -DONE!
Sword and Shield Warrior - DONE!
A 2h Beserker
An Assassin
A Ranger - Work In Progress
A Spellsword
A Necromancer
A Dualwielding Weaponmaster




Location


The Frozen Hearth in Winterhold




History


======================================================================

v1.1 ...Removed Improved Eyes Skyrim mod for his eyes (they aren't available on Nexus
anymore) and replaced it with The Eyes Of Beauty. Improved his perks and spells a little
to make him more effective. Changed his combat style from CombatMageDestruction, to
CombatSorcerer so that he will now improve his heavy armor skill as he should.
v1: ...initial release

Known Issues and Bugs


UFO ( And most like all multi follower mods -- thought I've only tested with UFO)

- Can't hire more than one follower at a time.

---This occurs because NPC Editor can't set currentfollowerfaction to -1 (As it
doesn't allow setting negative numbers)






Incompatibilities


No Known Incompatibilities

Frequently Asked Questions


1. What face-body-textures have I used in the screenshots?...

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

Face: Younger Faces Merged with Men By Geonox - (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2488)

Face: HQ Beards - Vanilla texture replacers by Regn - (http://www.skyrim.nexusmods.com/
mods/21620)

Body: Better Males - Beautiful Nudes and Faces- Sundracon Body (http://
skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/2488

Face: Fine Face Textures by Urshi - http://www.skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/27815/

Body: Smooth Male Body - textures for Better Males - SOS Schlongs of Skyrim - http://
skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26145


2. I have those face mods listed above but my characters still not look as
in your screenshots, why? ...


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

To make my characters and their hair look as good as possible I use an ENB mod by Anaphiel.

The Goddess ENB (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23029)


3. Why do I have duplicates of the hair this mod uses in the
showracemenu?? ...


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

This mod was made with the NPC Editor, so the apachii mod makes a duplicate of the hair used

for this mod in the showracemenu.


4. The mod isn't working, I can't find follower in The Frozen Hearth, how do I fix
this?...


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

- Make sure you installed the mod correctly - See Install instructions

- Make sure you checked Danicus.esp in the game launcher under data files.

- Make sure you don't have any other that might conflict with this one.

*For example another follower mod that places the follower at The Frozen Hearth.


5. Why can't I activate your esp file in the Skyrim launcher, the Data files
option is greyed out?...


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

If you can't select files in the launcher go to - Documents\My Games\Skyrim

- Open SkyrimPrefs.ini

- In the text look for

[Launcher]

bEnableFileSelection=1 (if this is 0 change it to 1)


6. The follower is naked when I go to hire him at The Frozen Hearth, how do I fix
this?


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

This is a problem with the NPC Editor, when a default outfit is not chosen. To fix it,
just hire him as usual, then ask to trade something, hand him anything, armor, weapon,
potion, and he will auto dress, with the armor and weapons that I have placed in his inventory.

(had to do it this way cause for some unknown reason when I set a default outfit, when I
try to hire him ingame, I cant talk to him at all, not sure why). I will be working on this
and hope to have it fixed in the near future.

Or if you are using UFO you can tell him to dress better, or use the "you are naked"
dialogue to get him to dress using the armor and weapons he has in his inventory.



7. Help, I can't find Improved Eyes Skyrim anywhere on Nexus ...

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

Improved Eyes Skyrim is no longer available on the Nexus. Rest assured version 1.1 of the
Danicus mod uses a new eye texture replacement mod, called The Eyes Of Beauty, and is no longer
dependent on Improved Eyes Skyrim.
