    What is new ver 4_2?

     

    - Side-by-side walking - developed from the system introduced in the Followers as Companions mod by Ishara Meradin. 

    - Improved hotkeys attack system - Vilja should now hit her target more accurately.

    - Improved sneaking behaviour. Vilja can be ordered to stay away and take cover.

    - New flute music - four new tunes - for Vilja by Bosa123.

    - Tweaking of marksman behaviour - Vilja should no longer prefer steel arrows in combat but instead use the best possible arrows in her inventory.

    - Minor tweaks and corrections.

     

    This was new in ver 4_0: 

     


    - A new system to interact with Vilja through hotkeys. The system will allow you to:

    a) determine attack targets for her, also for sneak attacks.

    b) configure her dialog tree to your liking and be able to talk to her without activating her with the E-key.

    c) make her shut up when needed.

    d) smalltalk with her as you travel without using the E-key or breaking the movement (perfect for roleplayers)

    - Full interaction and lots of scenes with the follower Inigo by SmartBlueCat http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/40960/?. Inigo is an excellent mod which we highly recommend!

    - A new questline which will give you a new optional follower and a new full set of armor. For reasons that will become obvious, this quest line is only available for pc-characters that are married to Vilja.

    - Vilja's chatter setup has been reworked and it is now possible to keep down the chatter pace to every 10th minute (quest-comments and other typical event-based comments are not affected by chatter pace)

    - Vilja can sit on your character's lap.

    - You can ask Vilja to step aside if she is blocking your way.

    - A variety of *optional* player pet-names that you can suggest that Vilja call your character if they are married.

    - More diversity to Vilja's healing of the player - you can now decide how much healing she should provide.

    - You can decide where Bruse should stable, and ask Vilja to send him home to the stable. This will also work if you should manage to bring him to a location where he shouldn't be.

    - New, fun features for Leifur. He can be ordered to follow anyone, and he can hunt down prey on your command. (Please note! among the optional files for Vilja, you will find the "Barking Dogs Cure" http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/22124/? which will keep Leifur from barking all the time. As this will affect all the dogs in the game, we have chosen not to include it in the main mod.)

    - More drunk dialog and new chatter lines (including more comments on Thieves Guild quests). 

    - Another +500 of the original low quality voice files have been manually cleaned or re-recorded with a high quality microphone. As around 800 lines have been re-recorded previously, this means that less than 2000 voice files remains to be re-recorded. (Please be aware that the majority of the low quality files appears during Vilja's first quest, so the quality should improve over time)

    - Various fixes, changes and improvements, for instance:

    - - horse riding and mounted combat should be more stable.

    - - brawl behaviour should be improved

    - - thanks to the enclosed files by Fore, we should now have a totally reliable cure for the hug-kill-bug. The solution is fully compatible with FNIS.

    - - Vilja now goes to prison with the player.

    - - Radiant quests shouldn't pick places in areas added by mods anymore.

    - - Wolfcry armor should now also work for beast races.

    - - Certain quest glitches have been ironed out; you should no longer need to tab out of dialog with Wilbert, Magda should be reliable found where she ought to be.

    - - Vigilants of Stendarr should no longer go hostile when Vilja is using her "free running" following style.

    - - Vilja' headtracking after scenes should now auto-reset so that she starts looking at the player instead of the other follower.

    - - Vilja will no longer double her amount of torches after performing.

    - - It should now be safe to change Vilja's appearance before you have started her quest (this has in previous versions caused an inventory bug).

    - - increased compatibility with SPERG and NPC Knockout overhaul.


     

     

     

    Vilja in Solstheim
     

    -  Add-on for Vilja in Skyrim
     

    available in the download section
     

    Requires: Vilja in Skyrim, Skyrim.esm, Dragonborn.esm
     

    Snow73Bmini.jpg

     


    Ver 2 of this expansion includes more than 150 new comments on people, quests and events in Solstheim. Vilja can also lead the way to various places, and occasionally guide you to certain quest-locations. She has unique interaction with the Solstheim companion Frea. And, once you have completed Vilja's original mainquest (the bottle-quest), you can meet her family once a week in Raven Rock! (Please read the readme for more information on this!)

      MUSIC:

      For those of you who have been asking for a way to listen to the Blacksmith song outside of the game:

      KindaInappropriate (Adrien Ortone) has been so kind and uploaded it on Youtube and on Soundcloud
      You can also find all the original lutemusic for Vilja by KindaInappropriate on Youtube.

      NEWS:
      KindaInappropriate has now also provided a version of The Riften Bard song on Youtube and on Soundcloud


      VILJA AND HEARTHFIRE FEATURES

      Please note that also with Vilja ver 4, you might want to use the

      HEARTHFIRE KIDS MOVING FIX

      which is available in the download section (main files).

      Normally in Hearthfire, as long as you are not married, you talk directly to the children if you want them to move elsewhere. But, once you get married, the children will auto-move when you tell your spouse to move.
      However, as Vilja has her own unique voice and dialog, and as she is independant from Hearthfire, she won't automatically gain the Hearthfire dialog that makes your adopted children move with her to new childfriendly houses.
      Therefore, in this fix, the children will KEEP their dialog that makes it possible to talk to them directly and tell them where to move. It should be useful also for other spouses with unique voices, but as I consider this a betatest-version, I have simply just uploaded it here on the Vilja-page.


      MIKE SIERRA SCREENSHOTS

      The Mike Sierra sceenshots collection is now available here Enjoy!


      IN CASE OF CORRUPT FORMLISTS

      In the Main files section for Vilja, you will now find a file called "Fix for Corrupt Formlists". This is the same file as the "A fix for Chargia", that quite a few of you have been using by now.
      During certain circumstances, for instance when you are reinstalling Skyrim, the formlists in your game might get corrupt. With Vilja, you can spot this as she will suddenly refuse to use her wardrobe properly - sometimes items you remove from her inventory will spawn there anyway.
      Luckily, this is fairly easily sorted. Just download the "Fix for Corrupt Formlists" and follow the instructions provided in the package, and Vilja's wardrobe system will work properly.


      CUSTOMIZING VILJA

      DUBHORIZON'S MANUAL FOR CUSTOMIZING VILJA

      A new tutorial by Dubhorizon on how to change Vilja's face using NPC Nif Merge and Gimp is now available in the MISC section of the downloads for Vilja. Thank you so much, Dubhorizon!

      MODS THAT INTERACT WELL WITH VILJA:

      With version 4, you have a full - but completely optional - interaction with the follower Inigo by SmartBlueCat. It's warmly recommended that you try out this excellent follower!
      Spooky.fx (Duke Patrick) has ported one of my favorite mods to use together with Vilja to Skyrim.
      FOLLOW THAT ACTOR will allow you to let Vilja take the lead, autofollow her and just sit back and relax.

      Ver 4.2 is now available!!!

      Important: before upgrading, if you have told Vilja that she may run ahead, tell her NOT to do this, and then tell her to wander.

      If you don't do this, you might have some problems with her running backwards the first time you tell her to walk side by side, and you will have to reset her manually.

    I added a little tutorial in the Misc section of the files:
    Simple Changes for Vilja in Skyrim

    There are simple instructions which only require basic computer knowledge on

    - how to fix neckseams in an easy way (just by copying and pasting the matching face textures belonging to the installed body mod into Vilja's folder)

    - how to give Vilja's horse Bruse a different look and use different saddles and even horse armor on him

    - how to make Vilja's dog Leifur look like a Husky
     
    Barking Dogs Cure

    There is a small file available in the Misc Files section that makes Leifur and all dogs in the game stop their annyoing barking while still mainting a natural behavior. This is the improved version without headshanking of Luthrael's original idea by ThePopeKYA . Luthrael's smart mod hasn't be updated yet with the improvement. Otherwise we would have liked to link to his mod directly but obviously the mod is abandoned. If you are using the file you must visit http://www.nexusmods...im/mods/22124/? , endorse Luthrael's mod and give kudos to ThePopeKYA. It's all their ideas.

    Just scroll down to the last files.

    I finally did it - I let Vilja take down Alduin in the first fight atop the Throat of the World.  And she absolutely kicked his lizard butt, all I had to do was repeatedly dragonrend to keep him on the ground so she could do it.  Once she had him down below half, I just let her finish the fight herself.

    Wait,  it gets better:  When Alduin does his "You have become strong, Dovakiin" speech, he was looking at Vilja, not me.  Really, all I did was dragonrend a few times, she did all the fighting.

    That so rocked.  Thank you, Emma, for my favorite Skyrim person.

    Well, okay, favorite after Nazeem, but you can only behead that chump once, then the fun is gone. ;-)

    Mine doesn't work at all. First, Vortex, and now MO2 say that it is incompatible with SSE. I read somewhere to "make sure you have the Vilja LE version." Nowhere in the download links does it say the letters LE. Please help, guys. Vilja seems like a cut above all the rest. Thanks.

      If you have Skyrim Stable Edition then use the Vilja SE version.  Likewise, if you have LE Skyrim, use the LE version of Vilja.

      If you are new to modding, watch one of the excellent modding tutorials on YouTube for Vortex or MO2.  Best wishes.

    I'm using the Special Edition version of this mod and Vilja tries starting conversations with Dragonborn DLC follower Frea but Frea has no responses and it just seems like Vilja is talking to herself.

    Is this a bug for this version, too? Or is this specific to the SE version of the mod?

      Vilja has one-sided dialogue built in for a number of vanilla Skyrim characters.  Vilja was the first mod to have inter-mod dialogue (with Inigo).  That idea has now caught on with a number of advanced Skyrim companions.

      I think you're missing the point of my question.

      Vilja's dialogue with Frea is not meant to be one sided. The evidence for this exists in the fact that in the Solstheim BSA there are already cut up, voiced dialogue responses for Frea. They just don't play properly in-game.

      So, it comes across like Vilja is having a conversation with herself, even though she is very clearly meant to be getting responses they do not play. Vilja responds as though she is getting responses, but the voiced responses from Frea do not play in-game.

      Using a mod manager usually foolproofs the installation procedure.  Make sure the mod is activated.  Vilja will be sitting in the Bannered Mare looking worried.  "Blast it, those thieves have taken something precious."

      The Red box comments are in fact informative comments from the author/authors, your post however seems to have only one annoying fact, it's spam to you tube channels, and should be removed! if you wish to advertise then make a mod and post links on your page.

      Make sure you have the LE version of Vilja.  In the plug-ins section of Vortex, check to see of you have any conflicts with Vilja and other mods.  Resolve those conflicts and then see how the game runs.  Vilja should load after the conflicting mod.
