-Introduction-

Lydia is a pretty cool gal, all the way until you ask her to carry something. This mod aims to change that by putting some more pleasant words in her mouth.
Right now it makes her say, "What do you want me to carry", but I plan on adding more options later.

- PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE DOWNLOADING -

You should always know exactly what you're downloading and putting into your savegames.

-Don't we already have some mods that do this?-

I've seen some other mods that do similar things, but usually they replace voice files or other types of back-door approaches. This mod is a small .esp that directly changes Lydia's dialog options to prevent her from using that line, and instead make her use a different one.

-How does it work? Has it been cleaned?-

This mod makes only two changes in the CK. First, it takes the conditions for the "Sworn to Carry Your Burdens" line, and makes it so Lydia is not an option. Then, it takes the "What Do You Want Me to Carry?" line conditions, and specifies that Lydia should use it.
TES5 Cleaning happens when there are unintentional edits to the game through an .esp file, mainly due to the modder testing things out, and later reverting the changes. I did all my testing through a different .esp than what is being hosted here. I did not touch anything other than the two dialog records while making the .esp you will be downloading, so there shouldn't be anything that needs to be cleaned out of it.

-Compatibility-

This mod should be compatible with pretty much everything, as it only changes two dialog records. The only things that would be incompatible are mods that completely overhaul Lydia's voice (and if you're using one of those mods, you probably won't need this one anyway).
Specifically this is compatible with Follower Commentary Overhaul (a mod which I strongly recommend)

-Future of the Mod-

I plan on making more options pretty soon. If you know of a dialog line that is part of Lydia's voice type that would work well as a response to "Let me trade with you", let me know.
For that matter, if you can think of any other NPCs who could use something like this, let me know and I'll see if I can dig up something in the CK.

-Installation-

This mod comes packaged in a fomod installer. It is strongly recommended that you use NMM, or a fomod compatible mod installer.
For Manual Installation; read the following
Find the folder titled "00 Main", extract the .esp, and put it in your data folder.

-Uninstallation-

Simply deactivate using your mod install software, or delete the .esp if you manually installed it. The .esp for this mod should start with NK.
This mod does NOT make gamesave changes, add scripts, or anything else that meddles with save files. It is absolutely safe to remove my mod at any time.

-Version History-

*1.0 - Initial Release. Changes Lydia's "Burdens" line to "What do you want me to carry?"

-Recommended Mods-

• SkyUI. Honestly, if you haven't heard of this, I would like to know what rock you've been living under
• USKP and their patches for any DLC
• Skyrim Mod Combiner is an amazing tool to find and combine several spectacular mods.
  

-Permissions-

Do not upload this mod to any other site, or to the Steam Workshop. Steam Workshop is great for other games, but with a game as complicated and easy-to-crash as Skyrim, the Workshop is shoddy at best, and I do not support modding through it.
Please ask before using my work in another mod. I would prefer my work to remain in my own hands, but I might make an exception if I like what you propose.
You can make compatibility patches for other mods without permission, but PLEASE give credit where credit is due, and send me a PM about it.
If I am offline, and don't reply to PM's for more than 3 months, I give my full consent to do anything with this mod that you wish.
