His skin looks freaking orange, so change it if you want. With my ENB it looks good, but in vanilla and with other enb´s it doesn´t look so good. Thanks, guys
Making followers is a way better start IMO. Male follower mods are not popular at all, but they are something interesting in other cases. I mean, your preset looks cool, but I never use other modders' presets (I am playing 1st person mostly). Besides, all these requirements... But Aldren looks cool - it's an uncommon thing the eyeliner suits male character. Tracking
Thanks, i´m quite new to making mods so i don´t really know if there is an option to to give NPC preset face from RaceMenu in CK. That´s why i started with this preset, there´s nothing easier than creating this. I use presets pretty much because my characters are not so good, this one is exception, he´s not so bad. Yea i know in general male mods are not such popular as the female ones and as you say there aren´t much good male follower mods. Anyway thanks for your comment, really appreciate it :)

There is such an option. You need to create NPC in CK, generate facegen, and then use NifMerge for merging your preset nif with that one generated by CK. There are tutrials on YouTube covering this story.
I'm writing all this cuz I hope to see you character in my game soon :)
Yea, I already know how to do it :D I have taught it since yesterady. Tomorrow I´m going to release follower version of this preset, but little bit modified. Anyway thanks for your willingness :) the biggest problem was that those tutorials on YTB count on all vanilla stuff and I wanted to use Eye mods, Hair mods and Brows mods. It took almost 5 or more hours to understand but now i know how to create custom standalone npc like this one :) In the future i want to make fully voiced follower maybe with an unique quest :)
Voice acting is a great thing! Unique quest - even greater. Good Luck! I would like your character to speak your native language btw. Does Skyrim Czech translation exist?
Sadly not voice acted, just subtitles, but czech language is little bit weird for other nations :D we use like lots of combinations which are hard to pronounce. Fully voice acted czech localizations exist only in games developed in Czech, the biggest project is probably Mafia II, first chapter was completely czech and the second one was half american half czech so that´s why we still use czech language in this game :D If you are curious how it sounds, just type ,, Mafia 2 czech,, in Youtube and the first video will be fine :D for now thanks for your support, I´m currently working on the mod to be standalone, because I fucked up little bit and lots of bugs occured, so i set the file as hidden for now :)
Being pucked up with bugs occured frequently is quite a normal thing :) So, how do you guys living in Czech Republic play Skyrim once you have no localization? Are you all speaking English? Actually, I suggested you to give your future follower Czech voice pack for fun, but not merely for fun, because I've got the idea - awhile back - of making Skyrim multi-languaged. It's my crazy idea, I've got it after German-speaking Jespar have been released. I found it interesting and highly amusing to have a foreigner, a person speaking different language in my game. So, why not to get Skyrim populated with German-, French-. Czech-, Russian-. and other languages speakers? Don't listen to me. It's one of my fantasies (I am Sven's mother) :)
"Male follower mods are not popular at all, but they are something interesting in other cases" True fact, drops a nude, vanilla Voices woman and many will jump on it. Drop a nude, vanilla Voiced man and see, how less care about it.
That's what I hate the most on Nexus.. People just don't give much about Guys. Make them Unique and People will notice them.
We speak czech but our language is not voiced in the game, we usually play in english, but if you want you can download czech subtitles. Yea your idea is pretty realistic, each race has it´s own language, it´s nice :) And about the male followers: yea you´re right, male followers are so underrated, it´s a pitty they are great too but everyone want to play as a female with huge tits and big ass :D Btw thanks for you comments guys, i´m now working on a standalone follower based on this preset. I have it finished but he don´t want to follow me in game even if i unistall all mods which are messing with the follower system :/
Sure thing, the follower has everything needed so i´m pretty lost, don´t know. but i uploaded him as the second file of my follower mod so you can try if it works on your pc ( it´s experimental, so there may be some bugs ). I know how to make follower but some strange reasons he doesn´t want to follow me in game even if he is customized right. ( https://rd.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/88962 )
You need all the necessary mods for the first file. ( brows, eyes, hair and bettermales ) - well you don´t need them but it will look crappy, the second file was an attempt for standalone version
All these required "ingredients" are always in my game. Ok, I'll check the first file. Cuz, you know the second one is uncheckable - it causes CTD, I can't even enter location Vilemyr's Inn. But you've got me startled with the body you used for your follower - where have you got this monstrous automaton, as ancient as the dwemer's centurion? Is it better males?
Well he looks... weird. I was using Better Males Body and all the other needed Stuff. Oh, tried the Follower, not the Preset.. :D Checking CK, I see you gave him this redish Skinton... :o Also I think his face looks grey, but can't tell cause of the body color.. Is he.. supposed to have that skincolor? Now that I back check your Screenshots... :o
I confirm. This is how Aldren from the first file looks. KaktusikCZ, you gave him wrong skin tone. And you failed with face generating (Ctrl+F), apparently. 1.Check your preset original tint and enter those values in CK (this is for body and head color matching). 2.Ctrl+F and save esp. 3.Use NifMerge to recreate your char's head. (don't forget to replace eyes whole NiTriShape so that avoid "shiny eyes" effect). 4.Gimme dark version, but not blonde ;) ..................................... Oops! Looks like it's an original skin tone from your preset. I've tried your dark hair preset. You've made kind of a daemon:
Spoiler:

But I like him very much. I's easy to pick up the desirable skin tone, but it's hard to sculpt a nose bridge. I like your Aldren's nose, and the whole face looks good. So, thank you for sharing your preset.
s#*! I don´t know guys, his head skin and body skin are the same number. In my game he looks fantastic, i´m really lost. you´re welcome but the look of this follower really piss me off. I don´t have much time for updating it but as soon as possible i will make him again from the beggining. Thank you guys for testing him! :)
No problem. If you don't feel like making him, I could do it. Make him work. You may wanna ask for Permission to use the hair, brows and eyes. So People would not need the Mods. At least in that case, I could create him for you. IF you really can't get him to work. I created a few Followers now.
That would be perfect, if you´re interested in making him a follower i have nothing against it. I think only mentioning used mods and their authors in the description is fine. Authors of those hair, eyes and brow mods say that we can use their mods on our followers as long as we credit them in the description. So if you really want to make him a follower, i´ll give you all the permissions so you can upload him on your mod page.
Well, I would add the hair, eyes and brows into his folder, dunno if this counts too for the "free" use. And nah, I would only make him ready, so all you would need to do is adding his Perks, giving him a Voice and adding him into the Game world. :D I do the look, you the rest. Cause I would not really have any "use" for him on my Page. ^^" I make Packs now, so I dunno where to put him X'D
ok i will contact authors of those mods if it´s ok :D So thank you very much, take as much time as you want. If it goes right i will be very happy and obliged! :)

Subtitles plus silent voice, you mean?
