How to install the mod? If installing from NMM, just click on the mod and let NMM install it. If installing manually, just take the .bsa and .esp files and put them in the data folder for Skyrim. Nothing special. If installing manually, just make sure that the mod is activated in the Data Files when opening Skyrim. If using a previous version of this mod, remove the two files (either through NMN or manual), download the latest version of this mod and install.
What is the reason for making this mod? It started off with fixing a few lines that I felt made Serana a very flat NPC that showed obvious signs that she was rushed by Bethesda. It soon spiraled into the monster that it is today. Mostly, this was meant to be my way of entering into the modding community and learn about the Creation Kit and modding.
What changes does this mod make? Read the official README of the mod in the README section of the mod page.
Issues with the mod Read the sticky dedicated to this on the comments section of the mod page.
Does this mod conflict with the 'X' mod? Read the sticky dedicated to this on the comments section of the mod page.
Any future plans for this mod? I will be doing dialogue expansion for the mod in the vanilla game as well as doing other polishing along the way. The official updated schedule of the next few releases will go as follows:
