About this mod

A continuation of my efforts to bring a bit of individuality to Skyrim - this time covering the Companions. Vanilla record edit, SPID or Skypatcher versions available.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Once again I grew dissatisfied with the outfits for the more under appreciated Companions and hangers on. They just aren't wearing anything that interesting. Now they are. Covers Eorlund, Vignar, Athis, Ria, Njada, Torvar and Brill. This mod is not intended to be for the player but all items are fully functional for males and females should you, for example, do Torvar dirty and send him to Sovngarde. The exception to this is Eorlund's chest piece and loincloth which are male only. Vanilla bodies only at present I am afraid. I've got more I am working on before I even think about body conversions. If someone wants to do it before I potentially get around to it for this obscure effort go nuts. 

Credits
Sforzinda as always - borrowed meshes and textures from their mods. sforz makes mods (tumblr.com)
Pulcharmsolis - For the textures for the handguards on Athis' outfit borrowed by Sforzinda for their mod.
NordwarUA - I can't get enough of the Fur! Borrowed from Sons of Skyrim
viltuska for their mods Barbarian Loincloths Modular Bandoliers and Pauldrons for Males - used for Eorlund
PrincessAries for the Fur texture for NordWar's mesh from Nord Steelheart Armor 
Symonson for Vignar's outfit from Noble Armors 
Zzyxz for SkyPatcher (and everything else)
powerofthree for oh so much
xavbio for the Tsun texture from Steel Armors and Weapons Retexture SE
This is an obscure credit but Thalyaa for NPC Outfit Corrections - SkyPatched , the ini of which I used to reverse engineer mine since I'm a bit mutton and trying to follow Zzyxz's article was not going well :D 

Eorlund - A legendary smith wearing some common bandit armour? I don't think so. 
Vignar - A proud old warrior and former Companion AND a potential Jarl. I felt he would have a hard time letting go of his warrior past so he now has armour reflecting his Noble status but also light enough for an old dude to cut around in. His armour uses its own bespoke textures from Sforzinda as they look a bit whiter and cleaner than vanilla based retextures. 
Ria - Nothing special here. I felt that as an Imperial she would want something a bit warmer in the chilly Skyrim climate. Also specialises in Heavy armour so she should be a little bit better off now. 
Athis - The first time you meet him he's in the middle of a punch-up. I wanted his outfit to be the sort of thing a brawler would wear. 
Njada - Same as Athis really - just a variation on it and bit more furred and Nordic. 
Torvar - The drunken misfit. I could imagine him pawning his armour pieces for booze so now he is down to boots and a simple chest piece.
Brill - A servant yes, but to one of the most important men in Whiterun and a potential Steward. Now wearing something I deemed a bit more appropriate for someone who lives amongst the warrior band. 

I use the Skypatcher version myself since SPID wasn't distributing to Brill (the ini must be being overwritten by something in my load order but I'll be darned if I can figure out the conflict!) but I'm all about options baby!

For anyone interested I use Captivating Companion Followers SSE - The Companions NPC Overhaul as my NPC replacer of choice for the Companion followers and Nordic Faces - Immersive Characters Overhaul for pretty much everyone else.
