Hey there friends! Ages ago I came across Amaterasu for Oldrim, and seeing that nobody had converted her for SE made me incredibly sad - so I went ahead and learned how to do it myself!

(HUGE notice for anyone with questions, concerns, and suggestions; I'm completely new to modding and don't know what I'm doing at all. Ofc I'm doing my own research into how, but please be kind and tolerant of any screwups!)

Development on Ammy is currently on hold, due to life and technical issues. One day I'll return and give her the love she deserves...

Current bugs;
- Loading screen model doesn't show up. This occasionally causes CTD, I'm not sure how to fix this & am accepting help.
- Amaterasu gets confused in tight tunnels, and she can get stuck easily.
- Some of the text in the config menu has $ before it; I have a feeling this is a translation file issue, but it doesn't detract from gameplay at all.
- The file does not install through NMM for some people. I suggest installing manually.
- The model doesn't appear, but her voice, breathing and book do. 

Probably not a bug but it's annoying;

- Voice lines pop up sometimes asking for weapons or apparel. Obviously, Ammy cannot wear or use any of these. She will, eventually, get a new voice.

New plans;
- Matching weapons, sheilds, and armour; match your wolf God companion!
- Lore books about Amaterasu to fit her into Tamriel.
- Potential questline? If you have experience with quest mods and you're interested in helping me out, please let me know!

Have you got features or fixes you'd like to see for her? Tell me about them! I'll look into it!

CURRENT TRANSLATIONS!

(Note for translators; you DO NOT NEED my permission to translate this mod and upload it - but I do ask that you DM me so I can add the translation here and keep in touch for future updates!)

NEW UPDATES; a voice actress for Ammy has been obtained! The next update will focus on rehauling her model and her voice lines.

(After this image is the OG description for Ammy's mod.)




DESCRIPTION

Amaterasu-ōmikami is a part of the Japanese myth cycle and also a major deity of the Shinto religion. She is the goddess of the sun, but also of the universe. The name Amaterasu derived from Amateru meaning "shining in heaven." (Wiki)

In Skyrim she can be found near the Whiterun's Dragonsreach throne.


FOR PLAYERS

Requirements
  • SkyUI - configuration panel

Installation

  • Install requirements list
  • Download "Amaterasu - The Great Spirit"
  • Extract to the Skyrim "Data" folder
  • Enable ESP in your load order list
  • Done

Uninstallation

  • Just remove all related files

COMPATIBILITY

  • Extensible Follower Framework v4-0-0 Beta 13
  • This mod does not modify anything, but adds a new content. In most cases you shouldn't get any trouble with other mods.

FOR DEVELOPERS - THIS MOD NEEDS YOUR HELP !


While Ammy looks good already, the actual work is not finished yet.


What has been done

  • The main body was taken from the Skyrim "wolf.nif" and only extra parts were added. These parts were carefully weighted. The rest body left as is and should work perfectly with the Skyrim game
  • Normals were completely reviewed on the whole body. In case if you wish to edit source, please be careful with that stuff - that seems very easy to screw everything
  • "Fur" part is copied as is. Ignore this in the 3DS Max file
  • A draft texture for the main body looks good already ...

What should be done

  • Translation. If you are a native speaker of a language different from English, and willing to help with translation - please let me know.
  • If you are native English speaker, your contribution with spelling check will be greatly appreciated.
  • Texturing is not my area of expertise. Should you a skillful artist and willing to help, please download the sources and make your version.
  • Particle system in the Skyrim has lack of documentation. It is required to finish the draft work about this, so it would look like in the Okami game.

FAQ & TROUBLESHOOTING


Q. Nothing has changed after update
A. It always been a big head pain for mod-developers and players. Try the following:

  • completely remove files
  • then make a new save
  • [OPTIONAL] clean up your save with "Save cleaner"
  • install mod files and load the game

Q. I got a blob behind my character
A. This issue was a part of v1.1.2 and earlier. In order to remove blob from your current save, you may need to transform yourself into a beast or vampire form. This is the only way known today. 

Q. A follower says "I got somebody following me already", but I don't
A. Type in console: "set playerfollowercount to 0"

Q. I am a developer and can't compile a scripts
A. Download and install SkyUI and Extensible Follower Framework scripts into your ./Skyrim/Data/Scripts and./Skyrim/Data/Scripts/Sources folders
