    Mods Compatible with Serana Dialogue Edit (as of Version 1.02)
    Any mods that only changes Serana's appearance - Since those mods only affect her textured appearance, those mods are compatible with this mod. This applies to the weird appearance mods that change Serana's race.
    Any mods that removes Serana's hood - The hood is based on one script that is DLC1_NPCMentalModelScript. I avoid that script like the plague. So, they are compatible.
    Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch - TES5Edit will scream about a slight conflict with a few dialogues. I removed those dialogues in my mod and consolidated them into one area (instead of multiple areas where only one of them really worked). Otherwise, the mods are still compatible and there is nothing to be worried about.

    Mods That Seem Compatible with Serana Dialogue Edit (as of Version 1.02)
    Amorous Adventures - Not 100% sure, but since this mod in Oldrim never had an issue with AA before, it shouldn't be an issue now. Feedback will move this up to the top.
    Relationship Dialogue Overhaul - Same thing with Amorous Adventures. There was never an issue in Oldrim, it should not be an issue now. You might get a few 'conflicts,' but they are minor and nothing to scream about. Put mine or RDO last in your load order (user choice).
    Immersive Amazing Follower Tweaks - I never had an issue with AFT and iAFT is just a continuation of AFT from Oldrim. More feedback would bump it up, but I am sure they are compatible.

    Mods Compatible with Serana Dialogue Edit Under Certain Conditions (as of Version 1.02)
    N/A

    Mods Incompatible with Serana Dialogue Edit (as of Version 1.02)
    N/A

    Other Notes
    -The issue with my mod throwing errors in TES5Edit in the old edition is resolved with the redux edition. The errors would have only affected the programmer side of the mod and not the people using the mod.

    Questions that are commonly asked or said in the discussions page
    "The latest version of you mod is crashing on start-up!"
    As of Version 0.9, the mod now requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch. That will be the reason why.

    "Is this mod compatible with 'X' mod?"
    Please read the first sticky above as they contain the mods that are compatible with this mod. If a mod is not listed there and before you post a question asking about it, ask yourself "Will this mod, that changes Whiterun's appearance (for example), really going to affect Serana's dialogue?" Don't be afraid to ask. But at the same time, don't be stupid.

    "Hi, I obviously didn't read your sticky. Can you please make your mod compatible with a mod that is already compatible with your sticky."
    *facepalm*

    "Why don't you use audio from other games for this mod?"
    Because this violates Nexus' policy on using assets from other games. Porting is not allowed on here nor on most mod sites. There are some exceptions (in particular, assets from CD PROJEKT RED allows all assets to be used for non-commercial use), but that is in very rare cases.

    "Why don't you use audio from TV shows/movies she has been in/voiced on for this mod?"
    See above response and multiply the trouble I would get from those studios times a thousand.

    "Why not ask Laura Bailey to do extra lines for this mod?"
    Because I don't have her on speed dial? That and the chances of her actually doing it are silm to none.

    "Why not e-mail her? You never know!"
    Because I have a lot on my plate already and I want to at least have a full mod finished first before I even attempt going to this route. I will eventually go down this route, but not until I am happy with how for this mod is developed. But chances are that she will probably say no (for various reasons).

    "Well, why not pay her to do the voice over work?"
    Because of very complicated reasons, that is not an option (especially after the Skyrim Romance Mod incident). So, I am just putting my foot down on this option. All talk about the use of kickstarter or paying for her services will be ignored.

    "When is the next version coming out?"
    Check my schedule in the description page.

    "When is this coming out for SSE?"
    *facepalm*

    "When is it coming out for Xbox One?"
    Mod has been released for Xbox One as of July 4, 2018.

    "This mod altered Serana's appearance!"
    No, it didn't.

    "But-"
    This is a dialogue mod... nothing more. This mod does not alter her appearance in any way (unless you count allowing Serana to be cured on the Vampire side as one). I left her appearance alone so you can use the 12,904,113.5 Serana appearance mods that exist.

    "This mod broke Chasing Echoes!"
    No, it didn't.

    "Now I KNOW you are lying!"
    And I know that you don't understand the concept of testing this mod before releasing it. I have 1,000+ test saves and I know exactly what works and doesn't work with this mod. Dawnguard is a DLC that was very rushed, with a lot of concepts being scrapped for the sake of releasing the mod earlier. Serana, herself, is a modding nightmare with some modders refusing to not go beyond altering her appearance. This is why there are VERY FEW non-texture mods for Serana out there.

    But I am also an experienced programmer and engineer so I wouldn't purposely break a questline nor would forget to test a mod before releasing. I do make mistakes from time to time, but I am not an idiot.

    "This crashed my game!"
    How? Also, no it didn't.

    "When I removed your mod from my game, the crashes stopped!!!"
    Correlation does not imply causation. Explain to me how a mod that ADDS dialogue managed to CTD your game? If that was the case then every follower mod would crashing constantly. Hate to break it to you, but you have bigger issues than some small dialogue mod.

    "I have an idea for this mod!"
    Check the forums page for ideas.

    "Why not have this mod merge with 'X' mod? I don't like that there are a lot of esps for this one person."
    Not my responsibility. If you want to merge the mods, learn to do it yourself.

    "When is marriage coming for Serana in this mod?"
    It's not.

    I said that I will be making a separate mod for that. This is done because I don't want the horrible concept of Serana being married ruining my good mod. But since I won mod of the month here, I am going to make it for those users, but as a separate mod.

    The sticky shows that Serana Dialogue Edit is seemingly compatible with Relationship Dialogue Overhaul which was good news at first.

    RDO's mod page even had Serana Dialogue Edit as a "strongly recommended mod" under the compatibility section. However, Serana Edit has been crossed out from that mod page which I'm assuming means it's no longer compatible?

    I can't seem to find anything regarding whether there are any issues between the two mods. I am currently using RDO. If I decide to download Serana Dialogue Edit, is it safe to uninstall if issues arise?

      At 1 point SDA was splkiced with combined lines so it was compatible, but since now in SDA  all lines are remade and voiced, would not be compatible not only because of then Serana having 2 voices but also pretty sure overlapping/chaged dialog will be a thing and also since sda's Serana has a different personality. they won't fit together anymore. so pick 1 or the other.

      I'll be honest, I haven't followed RDO and I never really followed SDA. I'm pretty much doing a re-write now so I don't have time to check on that mod.

      this can be fixed by setting your load order right it does the same thing with a few other follower mods that add followers with setups that differ from the way the base game ones are set up but can be worked around by ensuring your load order has all those that alter base game  Dialogue to force load before those that affect those with their own built in ones and they will work together hell the same thing can be done to add all those followers to make them work with the multi follower mods even if they say using them will break the modded follower

      This mod being updated is awesome. Been coming back here over the years hoping for an update, thought it was dead. 

      Can't stand SDA Serena at all. She's too girlish, immature imo. I mean some minor changes or additions are fine but God they went too far, the cringe was too much so I uninstalled it.

      I pray for your success.

      SDA is a great mod that makes Serana a top-of-the-line smart companion with a sense of immersion and full functionality. But it's not for players who love the vanilla Serana. The character changes a lot, and I don't think Serana is the kind of girl who expresses her desire so strongly, and her charm lies in the emotional outpouring in the details.

      -49 to +49: Serana Tolerates you
      +50 to +99: Serana Likes you
      +100 to +149: Serana Loves you
      +150 and above: Serana Idolizes you


      And here is the current mod roadmap:

      Spoiler:  
      Show
      -0.3 - Like Dialogue/Dislike Dialogue/Being Dragonborn Reaction Dialogue/Relationship Crisis Dialogue/Dawnguard Extended Dialogue

      -0.4 - Hearthfire Dialogue/Love Dialogue/Hate Dialogue/

      -0.5 - Dragonborn/Max Affinity Dialogue/Max Hatred Dialogue (This version will supercede the Nexus versions at this point)

      -0.6 - Thieves Guild/A Night to Remember/A Daedra's Best Friend/The Break of Dawn

      -0.7 - Bards Guild/Mage's Guild/Waking Nightmare

      -0.8 - Dawnguard Revisited (New Serana Introduction Dialogue and New Chasing Echoes Turning the Player Dialogue)/House of Horrors

      -0.9 - Companions/The Whispering Door/Ill Met By Moonlight

      -1.0 - Dark Brotherhood/Discerning the Transmundane

      -1.1 - Dragonborn Revisited/Pieces of the Past


      One of the big things in this build is that there will be dialogue when reaching certain levels with the relationship. Plus giving Serana items (like BOOKS) will trigger audio from her, which can trigger other audio down the road. You can see the current list in the changelog above. I am also planning on expanding this to the following in 0.3:

      Spoiler:  
      Show
      The Aetherium Wars
      The Book of Life and Service
      The Buying Game
      Children of the All-Maker
      The City of Stone: A Sellsword's Guide to Markarth
      Darkest Darkness
      The Holds of Skyrim
      Night of Tears
      The Sultry Argonian Bard, Volume 1
      The Talos Mistake
      There Be Dragons


      0.3 is going to take awhile to build as it will be a massive update. Once the mod is at 0.5 (Dragonborn expanded dialogue), I will be releasing this mod on the Nexus most likely.

      It's a rebuild of the mod from the ground up and I really don't want randoms downloading the mod while it's still in progress of being rebuilt, but I wanted to give people an idea what I am doing.

      What I am planning on doing is throwing the mod on github and DM you a link if you want.

      Yes and this is an old version of the mod. The newer stuff is on my discord server that I'm rebuilding. USEP is removed in that version. It was added originally because the Relationship Mechanic would affect dialogue choices down the road. So, I needed to add my stuff in and that the time, USEP was still popular with people so I kind of wanted to follow what that was doing.

      Now, not so much.

    Hi, I LOVE this mod!
    Would it be possible to get a version of it on Xbox that doesn’t have a USSEP dependency? Sometimes you just don’t have space to run USSEP — on Xbox especially every mb counts! — but I wouldn’t want to give up SDE!
    Thank you for your time, and for your awesome mod!

    I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with Serana where she goes into bleedout pose about 50% of the time she idles.  So... I'll go into an inn and although her dialogue is normal, she's sitting on the ground like she's wounded.  I'm using this with Serana Follower Framework and the now defunct Serana Expanded but xEdit is showing no conflicts and I'm not sure how to check or change idles.  Any help would be appreciated.  

    Thanks.
