Also! Since you're here, would you mind supporting one of my other projects? It's an animated TV show called The Treacle People, produced by my late dad in the 90s. It's beautifully made and very silly - think Monty Python meets Postman Pat. I'm trying to revive it as a tribute to him, and it's available to buy on Prime Video. If you're feeling extra lovely, would you be kind enough to buy an episode or two and leave us a review? It'd really make such a difference to me!
I've started making videos! If you're curious about how Lucien was made, interested in modding yourself, or into a good Let's Play adventure, then please do check them out the selection below! I'll be making more videos like this in the future, including more modding tutorials and behind-the-scenes content, so please do subscribe to my YouTube channel and follow me on Twitch if that's something you'd be interested in - and feel free to message or comment with ideas for videos you'd like to see :) More on this soon!

Kersplat! Yazoo! Shazam! It's Croc! For a laugh, I made a new, very small scale follower mod, based on the wonderful platformer games from 1997 and 1999.

No, seriously. I have an issue. Great mod. REALLY good mod. I'm not even to Bleak Falls Barrow yet. Began my new playthrough on LAL as a patron of the tavern in Falkreath so I could run into Lucien right off the bat and take a few jobs off the Missives board before starting the main quest. Lucien is delightful.
But he won't wear the flippin armor I gave him (Ryder's Dragonfly Robes). Yes, I have Shiva's, and I applied the requisite patch. But he won't put it on unless I forcibly staple it to him with the equipitem command, and even then only for a little bit. I check his gear, and it's still equipped because I used "1" after the console command, but his noble clothes are what I see displayed at random intervals, and I have to console again with removeitem, then equipitem + 1 again. I thought the patch was supposed to fix this? Do I need to go into the Ryder's mod and raise the robes' value to get him to not change back into regular clothing whenever I turn my back, or what? I know how Vilja works (prefers most expensive armor over best protection).... is it the same for Lucien?
It definitely seems like he has some sort of preference! I cant get him to wear clothes that are "lesser" in quality (or perhaps price, thats smart) than his standard clothes. If I enchant some robes real nice, then he wears them and keeps them on, wont even change into a different enchanted robe set unless its somehow better than what he has on. Havent quite pinned down the measurement for his preference but I swear he has one. It might even be tied to his skills and training? I had him in novice robes for a while and then he refused to wear them after i taught him more spells and leveled him. Same thing happened with apprentice robes.
Now he's gotten so damn picky I have to sprinkle gem dust on the enchanter or he wont even try it on lol
Is it just in my game or does he rarely speak? I thought he was supposed to be one of the chatty followers but been running around for hours now and he rarely says anything.
Pretty sure he talks more after you talk to him about his family and stuff. He'll also talk a lot more if you have other custom voiced followers like Inigo, Auri, Kaidan, Xelzaz, with you as well. Also, you might be running around too fast to hear him.
No summoning spell. It might/might not be a lore-friendly thing. There is teleportation in TES, even in vanilla Skyrim, but it might be unlikely for Lucien to know it. Of course, one of his best buddies, Inigo, gets a teleportation spell. I'd rather Lucien have this available as well, seeing as how one could argue that it is within the realm of possibility, but I obviously respect JosephRussell's disinclination to provide such a mechanic. I've found that Lucien usually catches up without difficulty, even when I use modded teleportation spells and all manner of non-pathgrid shenanigans to travel. Are you encountering difficulties?
Yeah I understand the lore thing but QOL is always nice. I just wanted a way to dismiss him and then resummon him later on when I want to adventure with him again, without having to go fetch him from the house or tavern or wherever. It's a very minor thing in the grand scheme, but as I said, QOL is always nice XD
Just get this mod: Where Are You - Lookup And Track Followers and other NPCs it has a few requirements, but everyone should have Address Library and MCM Helper anyways (not everyone needs UI Extensions otherwise, but for Where Are You it is required).
Just wanna say I love the mod, and a small (silly) suggestion I have is to add support for a singular character name... Lucien. I think it would be really funny if you were to have him react to the dragonborn sharing his name.
I am learning to use the Creation Kit and thought I would start with a simple Helgen gear for my own personal use born from a desire to just give myself some non-faction armor at the start for immersion sake (I thought it was a bad idea to roam around in Stormcloak or imperial armor in the middle of a civil war) but after watching some tutorials that make it look so easy (haha) it has grown to a small starting home (inspired by the Hunters Cabin of Riverwood https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1783) with a dog follower and horse to make player life early game vanilla start a bit easier. Someone suggested your tutorial series and while it is more advanced than what I initially planned, I would like to actually make a good dog but need some help. I was following part two and adding the scripts but got the following error when trying to save and I do not know exactly what it means besides that it failed to compile the scripts:
Starting 1 compile threads for 1 files... Compiling "WEC1pleasantviewdogcontroller"... E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Source\Scripts\temp\WEC1pleasantviewdogcontroller.psc(152,10): no viable alternative at input '(' E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\Source\Scripts\temp\WEC1pleasantviewdogcontroller.psc(152,38): required (...)+ loop did not match anything at input '.' No output generated for WEC1pleasantviewdogcontroller, compilation failed. Batch compile of 1 files finished. 0 succeeded, 1 failed. Failed on WEC1pleasantviewdogcontroller
I still have a bunch of other things that I am trying to do and dig around forums and videos for answers but could use some advice and help to make it work because I am an ignoramus with computers and modding so if anyone knows about horses, keys, making custom books and notes, making sure containers added to player homes are safe storage and can have specific items without affecting every container of that type in the game, any help would be appreciated (I already made a mess with my first attempt at this that was a bit of a learn as you go run and I do not want to break things with this run).

Thank you so much! Happy Skyrim-ing! :D

The 'Toss A Coin to Your Witcher' dialogue caught me so off guard and was such a hefty dose of dopamine- thank you lol.
The voice actor is god-tier. 10/10 mod and I havent even finished his content.
