Apples now has a custom conjuration spell that triggers during combat. She will summon a spirit fox for 60 seconds to fight by her side. Try it, and let me know if you like it.
"...causing the lore police to soil themselves in rage by uploading a talking dog to the Nexus." LOL! You get +1 respect for this description! Also, love the appearance of Apples. Thanks for making this!
Unfortunately this mod doesn't work for me. It might be a conflict with one of my other mods though. When I have this mod active, I can't dismiss my followers anymore :(
So apparently the conflict is with AFT. I get an error message when trying to recruit and dismiss Khajiit followers. Chaning the load order unfortunately did not fix this.
Not sure where to put this I forgot to mention it, but the mod Immortal essential followers might be incompatible with THIS MOD and mods like this where the animals dialog is taken from vanilla NPCs. It wont allow them to follow when "Follow me" is pressed. (in other words they will not be enlisted for the CurrentFollowerFaction faction) Just FYI
Also be careful of Axe slinging traps LOL Apples got hit, knocked into the wall, and fell to oblivion. So I had to fight the rest of a dungeon without her until I exited
I've been noticing that she won't fight now, and I'm not sure where I went wrong. She fought just fine before my last update. I should be able to fix this within the next few days.
Cheers, lovely mod indeed! But same bug for me too, she does not fight, just looks angry. I used both the for ENB version and also v0.6
Edit: I tested the older version v0.5, and this one works fine. As far as I can tell the aesthetics and dialogue are unchanged since v0.5, so I will just play with that.
When I modded in Oblivion, the Construction Set would sometimes glitch my final save & cause inexplicable attacks on my companion animals. I tried remaking the mod & systematically changing all factors to no avail. The ONLY change in the mod that would fix it was to remake the mod & Save, over & over, until I got one that did not have that glitch. I hope the Skyrim Construction Set does not do that. If this worked in one version & nothing significant has changed, or changing your update parameters has not fixed this issue, you might suspect this glitch is happening in the Skyrim Construction Set also. Best of luck & thank you for your efforts.
Zella, sorry saw your comment only now. I would start by comparing the scripts, maybe something relevant changed (even inadvertantly) from v0.5 onwards, I just don't know and I really lack time and especially know-how to investigate it myself. So I stay with 0.5 which is just fine.
It would be my dream come true to add a custom voice to her and then have her be able to interact with Inigo. If only I knew how to write my own scripts, I would do so much more with this mod.
You might ask Inigo's creator. He is an amazing person, though he might be too busy to do a lot for you. Inigo hates fleas & will probably be happy to have someone to share then with.
@Zella I'd like to make some improvements to Apples first when I have time, create some better quality textures at least and try to give her some interesting abilities. I would like her to do more than speak like a Nord and attack like a dog. Eventually I might ask for his consideration. I do have an account on the Inigo forums, though I'm not very active.
I once, briefly, got a Battle Bunny to have the "Pants on Fire" spell & watched him chase a Bandit across a river & up the next hill. It was hilarious & I wish I could have made it a permanent ability, but didn't know how to add Spell capability to animals at the time. Someone else gave a crow the ability to cast a Paralyze Spell & that was pretty funny also.
She should. I wonder if it could be a conflict with another mod because I've never had this problem. My PC has been out of commission for some time, but as soon as I get it up and running I'm going to have a look at another issue, so I can double-check her follower settings as well.
That would be most awesome if you did, buck is a perfect follower to patch for.
By the way just for sake of mentioning, the first time I tried to get her she laid back down, so I left and she disappeared. Reloaded before I said follow me, didn't work but I turned SSE off then on, reloaded, and she finally followed. SO I have a bashed patch (wyre) and nothing that modifies the Hall of Dead (in WR) Any reason why that happened to me at first cause I'm worried she might disappear again
She does that sometimes. If you enter a new cell, she should be back with you again. I've learned not to worry too much. She hasn't gotten stuck anywhere for me - she just kind of disappears for short periods of time. Thank you for reporting this. I'll try to find a way to fix this.
There's also this thing where sometimes she won't be aggressive enough during combat. I'm trying to notice if there's a pattern where she acts like this only around certain types of enemies because of her race, or if it's just a vanilla follower issue. I might need to do some tweaking.
