----
Note
----

As of version 1.3, there are two main options:
NP = Not Protected (Vanilla Setting)
P = Protected

This means, that I stopped editing the essential flag, and used the protective flag. This means, that your followers will not be killed by others, but CAN be killed by you.
WHAT? WHY? You may ask... Well, for starters, the essential flag messes a lot up. So I left in both versions all characters, who were already tagged essential, essential. Cause if I removed the flag, your game could break. And if another character wasn't supposed to have an essential flag, well: IT COULD BREAK YOUR GAME.
So, the protected flag doesn't have this issue, since it does exactly what it is supposed to do. If the GAME needs to kill someone, he/she will be killed.
An optional plus for people with temper: If you had a bad day, you can kill your follower in any version (if they aren't set as essential to begin with).
An encouragement for people who suck with AOE (Area of effect -> large scale magic), can't aim properly and who blindly swing their battleaxes around: learn to fight! ;)

--------------------
Manual Installation:
--------------------

1. Choose one esp. from Folder 1-8:

NP = Not Protected
P = Protected
B = Beauty
S = Specialized

Drop esp into Data/ and BFIlliaHire.pex from Scripts into Data/Scripts/
And from Scripts/ the BF[x].pex files.


2. Required for all Beauty versions: Beauty Pack.

Drop Meshes and Textures into Data/


3. Required for all Specialized versions: perktransformeffectscript.pex and transformationsafetyscript.pex

They�re located in Scripts/. Drop them into Data/Scripts


4. Required for all Specialized Beauty Version. Beauty and the Armor Pack.

Drop into Data/

Note: Although you can access now the unique helmets, some may not be wearable or may give you an invisible head...
This was made for those, who don't want to see helmets... since the "No Helmet Mod" doesn't work with custom armor.

5. For Better Followers - Dialogue:

Drop sound, scripts (at least the .pex) and the esp from folder 11 into Data/

Load order shouldn't matter. But be sure to put it below any mod that changes Housecarls Dialogue and Housepurchases.


6. For Better NPCs - Faction Pack

In folder 13 there are two options:

a) For Vanilla
b) For CBBE

If you choose b), you'll also need the meshes and textures from a) (NOT THE ESP!). Drop everything in the Options folders into Data\
