All translations are unofficial so I take no responsibility over the quality or accuracy of the translations or when they are updated. Please notify me if you wish to release a translation.
A HUGE thank you for file of the month and over 5,800 endorsements in the first month alone.
Your continued support will see Sofia grow in size with plenty of new dialogue and features, including quests!
Version 2.0 is finally here!
Note: You will need to do a full reset when upgrading to 2.01, see below. Also if you get the random nudity bug just disable her sandboxing feature in her MCM menu until I properly look into it.
DO NOT use any files or patches from previous versions. Make sure if you are using an old loose files version and want to switch to the BSA version you remove all previous files otherwise they will override the new ones.
How does the relationship system work? You need to get 100 kills, clear 5 dungeons and spend 30 days with Sofia as well as get her relationship level to 100. I have made things simple for people. You will have to date her first obviously which will become available after you make significant progress with her because nobody just dives straight into marriage. How do you know when it's the right time? She will make an extremely obvious hint that is impossible to miss.
How do you teach her spells? You need to have SKSE for this feature then simply just give her a spell book.
How do I change her stats or make her killable. Use her MCM menu. This requires SkyUI which requires SKSE.
Full reset instructions
Take all your belongings from Sofia, dismiss her then make a save far away from her, then go out of the game and deactivate the esp plugin SofiaFollower.esp. Load up the same save (it will warn you of missing mods) and save again. Now go back out of the game again and reactivate the esp plugin and then load up the previous save and she will be back at the stables.
About Sofia
Sofia is a humorous and advanced fully voiced follower voiced by the talented Christine Slagman (finalCrystine). Sofia is voiced to the very highest of quality and Christine has a rather extensive list of Skyrim mod credits from Falskaar to Helgen Reborn and Interesting NPCs where she played the loveable Misha amongst others.
Sofia is fully location and quest aware (currently just the main quest and bounty quests) and will comment on the player character and her surroundings. She has her own custom dialogue system which allows for longer and more detailed dialogue.
Sofia is quite an unusual follower. She is tough, witty and just a little bit boastful. She has a strong fondness for the player character but her deliberate attempts to disguise the fact just leads to very awkward conversations especially as she usually says exactly what she thinks. Sofia is a tease and loves to wind people up which doesn’t make her very popular with people. Her rebellious spirit and careless attitude often gets her in trouble. Not to mention her constant inappropriate comments which easily offend or embarrass people.
If you give Sofia alcohol as a gift she will drink it and become physically drunk which changes all of her dialogue to also sound drunk. If you ask her to sing she will sing some familiar Skyrim tunes but with the wrong lyrics or her own new songs written by Christine. When you start riding a horse she will summon her own and start riding alongside you. You can also set her personal horse using with a spell. You can also set her dismiss location where she will hang out and do her own thing. If she falls behind then don’t worry because she will intelligently spawn behind the player character when out of view. She also has her own storage. She has an MCM menu where you can adjust adjust comment frequency and the catch up feature as well as combat settings.
Her combat style is destruction spell in one hand and a one handed weapon in the other by default but this can be changed in her MCM menu.
Sofia is growing all the time in terms of features and dialogue and she is very much in her early testing stage. She was released by popular demand but she is by no means finished as there is much more to come. There are likely to be bugs like all advanced newly released mods.
There are many future features planned including quests. You can expect more content soon.
Why not also check out this mod to further customise your Sofia Sofia Customizer
This is a mod that will help to change Sofia's appearance. I believe this will also be expanded upon to include many more customisation options in the future.
Loose Version or BSA Version
Updates for the loose version will be tiny in size due to only adding and changing what is necessary each time but will be a lot of files. Updates for BSA version will be downloading the whole mod again each time but all additional files are conveniently packaged into one. There will be a lot of updates so I would personally recommend the loose version unless you have really fast internet but it’s all about preference. Also the loose version means you can switch out the body meshes and textures to your own preferences.
How To Start
Go to the Whiterun stables, wake her up and agree to invite her along with you. Bring some clothing for her (don't worry she's not fully nude). Note: when I say the stables I mean where the horses are kept and not the building. She will be laying in the hay.
Installation
Either use a mod manager or install manually by dropping the files into "C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonskyrimData" and then make sure you activate the mod in Data Files in the Skyrim launcher or your mod manager. ALWAYS put Sofia BELOW any follower enhancement mods such as AFT, UFO and EFF in your load order.
Sofia Player Character Preset and Save
I have now added a download to make your player character look like Sofia listed under miscellaneous files in the file tab right at the bottom. You will need SKSE and Enhanced Character Edit to use this. You will also might want the appearance mods listed under used resources if you want it to look exactly like Sofia but this isn't necessary. There is also an optional save game included that starts you off where you get to explore Skyrim for the first time as Sofia. To install just follow the readme included with the file.

FAQ
Make sure to update to the latest version before reporting problems!
Can I change Sofia's combat style/stats/spells/inventory and can I disable unwanted lines of dialogue?
Here is a tutorial I made on how to customise Sofia such as combat style and disable unwanted lines of dialogue.
Can I change Sofia's body type?
Yes the easiest way is by using this mod: Sofia Customizer which has an easy to use installer and also contains many other customisation options. If you like to do things the hard way or use an unsupported body type then follow the tutorial below. There is also an optional default body patch that will make Sofia use the default body that you have installed (the one on your player character)
Note: You need to manually download your preferred body and texture mods.
I dismissed Sofia but didn't set a location. Where is she?
By default she will be in the Bannered Mare (remember to check all rooms) if you haven't assigned her a dismiss location. In newer versions she will most likely be at the stables due to some issues.
I can't find Sofia!
Use her summon spell in the spell menu or tracking marker found in the quest journal under miscellaneous quests which can be toggled. If neither of these show up then it is very likely that Sofia is not installed or activated correctly in your game.
I gave Sofia alcohol and now she's glitched out.
Type stopquest jjsofiadrunk . Sofia should now be out of drunk mode.
Sofia is unresponsive/Sofia is totally bugged out and behaving crazy.
Try clicking on Sofia with the command console open in game and use the command resetai . If this doesn't work try the disable command and then enable right after. If that doesn't work and you wish to keep your save then you will need to fully reset Sofia.
Full reset instructions: Take all your belongings from Sofia (see below if you are unable to retrieve your belongings), dismiss her then make a save far away from her, then go out of the game and deactivate the esp plugin SofiaFollower.esp. Load up the same save and save again. Now go back out of the game again and reactivate the esp plugin and then load up the previous save and she will be back at the stables.
If you are unable to retrieve your belongings due to her glitched out state then open the console, click on Sofia and then use this command: "openactorcontainer 1" (without the quotes) to force her inventory to appear. To get to her storage items you will need to do "coc jjsofiastore" which will take you to a room where her storage container is kept.
Can I marry Sofia?
Yes. Get her relationship to 100 via giving her gifts and talking to her, clear 5 dungeons and get 100 kills with her present and spend 30 days with her. You should now be able to ask her to marry you via the "Can I talk to you for a bit?" dialogue option.
Do I need SKSE?
No. Only if you want to use her MCM menu although I may use SKSE for other features in future. I will always keep compatibility for those who don't use SKSE however.
Do I need any other mods?
No. Sofia is totally standalone and already has all the required files.
There are some strange square blocks in the subtitles/there are some silent lines.
This is something I am aware of so just point out the affected lines and I will correct them.
I don’t like Sofia’s dialogue/voice/this mod.
I don't care. Go make your own follower.
Is Sofia lore friendly?
She is designed to be but don’t get all anal about it if it’s not 100 percent in your eyes. Opinions will always differ.
I have a problem.
Send me a PM. Do not PM Christine with your concerns. She doesn’t deal with that side of things.
