Port of Lazers Eevee the magical fox companion to switch.

Permissions and credits
Eevee the Magical Fox
by Lazer

Eevee is a new lore-friendly companion which can be found south of Stendarr's Beacon all alone inside the remains of their owner's burned down house. Eevee's owner had been an inexperienced conjurer who carelessly summoned a Flame Atronach that burned down his house with him inside. Eevee managed to escape but has no one left to look after it :(

Eevee will follow you if talked to and will fight alongside similar to a companion dog. If dismissed it will go back to the burned house or will live at one of your houses if asked. Eevee can also carry your things and initially has its owner's set of flawless gems in possession.

If you happen to have any spare elemental salts on hand Eevee can be transformed into a variety of magic-powered forms.


New to version 3.7 (5/26/17)

This release improves Eevee's dialogue and out of combat mechanics.

  • You can now set Eevee's home anywhere! By saying "How about living here?" Eevee's home will be set to the current location.
  • Added "I need you to do something." to initiate favors. Previously you could only initiate favors through holding use.
  • Other assorted dialogue cleanup to adjust priority and prompt fewer options when Eevee is waiting.



Eevee's Alternate Forms








Compatibility

Eevee is standalone and should be compatible with most other mods, just load it near the end of your load order.

I'm running EFF and Convenient Horses (among dozens of other follower mods) and there are no conflicts.

I'm hearing this plugin is also compatible with SE although I haven't tried myself. You may also want to load the .esp in the 64 bit Creation Kit and re-save it for a 'proper' conversion but only do this if you're confident of what you're doing.


Installation

IF UPGRADING FROM A VERSION PRIOR TO V3.5 MAKE SURE TO FIRST SAVE YOUR GAME WITH EEVEE IN NORMAL FORM PRIOR TO APPLYING THE UPDATE!!!

Due to a bunch of script files and other resources that may change between versions, it is highly recommend to download using the NMM. This way everything should go where it belongs automatically and will make upgrading a breeze for newer versions.

If downloading manually, copy the contents of the Data folder into your Skyrim's Data folder. This includes EeveeFox.esp and the Scripts/Meshes/Textures folders provided. Keep track of these (scripts especially) for removal later if upgrading.

IMPORTANT: When updating from an older version or if having difficulty getting Eevee's dialogue to open:

  • Load mod, go in game, save, close.
  • Load/save once more. Close final time.
  • Load game and the scripts should have reset.

This appears to work and solved an issue which had previously halted progress for me.

Eevee uses the default fox noises for breathing. If this is too loud for you there's a mod that can be used to help with this: Fox breathe lowered


Uninstalling

  • Dismiss Eevee
  • Type stopquest "DialogueFollowerFox" in console
  • Save (new save recommended in case you change your mind later)
  • Uninstall the mod and related files

If you experience any issues afterwords you may want to follow up with a save cleaner and check for NULL scripts to remove. I had a NULL script causing a crash once and was able to fix it with Fallrim Tools.
