+++ please refer to my user profile about me page and follow my recommendations how to use my mods as an addition to nexusmods terms +++
'm not allowed to offer my
convenient fix. please refer to the cace thread if you try the preset!  thank you!

this is a standalone follower of my ningheim race character silver with cute fingers unp based skin included. as an option you can try silver preset with the optional preset file. you also can optionally use the silver strong follower option if you like silver as a strong and reliable warrior.
the focus was laid on natural appearance and high detail. i put in a few subtle details and did my best to make a usable follower and preset.
most of the skin texture stuff is high res and not for low performance pc. for low res/downscaling of textures you may use ordenator.
the follower uses dracofish's (see credits) customized body skin of my cute fingers mod. so if you like the natural high res unp body fingers skin you may try my cute fingers mod for other races/npc/character. for ningheim race i customized already a fitting cute fingers package inluded in tthe files of this mod.

Silver Follower Info (no additional mod or race is needed):    

you will find the silver follower in the Moorside Inn in Morthalmarked as:
- essential
- marriageable
- unaggressive
- skills: one/two handed, skills and marksman :30, rest between 15 and 25
- level mult: 0.949
- max level: 100
- using hide armor and riften haelga outfit (customizable with follower extension)
- height 1
- weight 50

the standard follower version is more on the weak side so you will have to
take care of her and don't expect too much combat support.
i like this setup because the main character has to do most of the combat work
and the follower acts more like someone who needs your protection.

the strong warrior optional esp includes raised combat values which gives
silver superior combat power (skills are 80+) and makes her nearly
invulnerable.
this is very suitable if you count mainly on the power of your follower or your enemys are very strong.

fully customizable and voiced with follower extension mods
for extended follower features i use and recommend amazing follower tweaks mod by Dheuster
using this follower extension makes it easy to provide silver with the recommended silverknight armor or any other armor and clothes you prefer



SILVER NINGHEIM PRESET IMPORTANT INFO (not for follower!)

YOU NEED THE FOLLOWING MODS and addons for full details and correct appearance (and of course credits to all modders providing the basis for my presets):
the ningheim race (including some of its options to prevent crashes with some of the racemenu sliders!)
current race menu version
skse (most good stuff probably does not run without it)
ks hairdo's renewal for the hair, hdt if you use the hdt hair options
stoja's warpaints (for correct face paint)
true eyes
true eyes ningheim add on
true brows
true brows ninheim add on
my ningheim cute fingers option in my cute fingers seamless body mod is strictly recommended for a full detailed unp based character (just don't use it on low end rigs) and if you want the same appearacne as the follower has.

for some of the addons (true eyes, true brows) have a look in my file options here or in my katarina ningheim preset mod files folder first. you may not find some  of them in the nexus mod list anymore. if one of the listed mods is not available anywhere just let me know.

be shure that no parts of the above mods are unintentionally overwritten by other mods!

installation of the preset:
- unpack and put the preset file in the folder data\skse\plugins\chargen\presets (if you use mo it also can be the
overwrite folder depending on your installation settings).
- open console ingame an type showracemenu
- chose "preset" button in the menu and then the preset load button and load the desired preset.
- you may change and optimize the preset now. don't forget to save it in a new preset and to save the game.

body customizer features) for making this preset possible:
