    (Follower) won't talk to me!  Why?
    Their dialogues start upon entering the cell they're in. If you have a lot of script-heavy mods also loading at the same time, it could take a few seconds. Just wait. You could also try exiting and re-entering, as sometimes due to game mechanics, the location-change might not kick in right away.
    Anduniel: Dialogue starts upon entering the Riften City Worldspace, so if you use Live Another Life starting in Bee and Barb, just exit and re-enter.

    I can't raise Favor?
    Gift options are only available 1x per 24 game hours and you must have something they want in your inventory; if you don't the dialogue closes. Also, for Anduniel, completing her quests raises favor...

  • HOW TO MOD SKYRIM

    Q:  Can you teach me how to mod?
    A:
    I've had a lot of people asking me for modding help over the years, how do you do this/that, etc., even asking me to make mods for them, or make tutorials.  Some people who ask me have never even opened the Creation Kit and tried anything.  There are already a TON of tutorials out there, on a variety of subjects, so why should I re-invent the wheel? If you still just want simple tutorials, I can point you to some good ones in particular that helped me when I was starting out.

    Some Good Tutorials for Starting Out:

    Creation Kit Tutorials -- WOOH!  All the basics, right there.
    Quest Basics - How to make an NPC with dialogue and a simple quest.
    Youtube Tutorials - 7 officials ones by Bethesda, and constan...

  • APPROVAL (FAVOR)

    APPROVAL GUIDE TO FOLLOWERS
    DARION APPROVAL GUIDE

    Darion is an easy-going sailor with a romantic streak. He enjoys a good joke, a good drink, and talking about the sea. He approves of statements that reflect his own opinions. He is also impressed by demonstrations of power. To win approval, it is best to take a joking path, and avoid pessimistic or unkind responses. His disapproves of outright murder, and therefore dislikes the Dark Brotherhood.

    Meeting Darion:
    Any of the following Guild responses nets (+1):
    Pleased to meet you. I'm the Dragonborn.
    Power radiates from my very skin. Magic has that effect.
    I'm a Companion.

  • UPDATING from Anna NPCs, Anduniel, Nadina

    Cleaning up your save game before Installing AnnaNPC's 2.0
    Original post on Shrike's Blog
    This is not needed when you start a new game!
    This Article will explain in detail step by step how to install Anna NPCs 2.0 on an existing save game and remove the older versions of Anna_NPCs and/or Anduniel mods from the save game.

    Before installing new AnnaNPC's 2.0 mod you'll have to do a few things.

    1) Retrieve all items you do not want to lose from the followers!!!

    2) Goto a 'save' location.
    (I suggest go inside Dragonsreach.)

    3) Save the Game.
    (We'll use this save as a starting point for the save game cleaning operation.)

    4) Exit the game.

  • WARDROBE MANAGEMENT

    How to Use the Outfit Management system.
    Original post on Shrike's Blog
    If you are using SKSE and SkyUI then you are in luck!
    Anna NPC’s now has a Outfit management system that can be enabled through the SkyUI Mod Configuration Menu.

    Once the Outfit Management is enabled for a specific follower the options become available in the dialogue tree.

    First!!  It is important to know not to use the outfit inventories as storage.
    Only put items in there you want them to wear.
    If you want the follower to carry loot and items for you then use the Carry Bag option:
    “Would you carry this in your bag?”

    The Outfit Management options are available under the topic:
    “Let’s talk about your clothes.”...
