Manual installation:

not supported


Install mid-playthrough?
Yes.


Uninstall mid-playthrough?

All followers using whichever body you have installed, be it CBBE or UNP or something else. All ressources you have installed for brows, eyes and skin will be used.

Fair Skin Complexion
The Eyes of Beauty

Improved Eye Reflections and Cube Map
Skyrim's Ultimate Eye Meshes Ruhmastered
Maevan2's Eye Brows

No known conflicts.


Known Issues


None so far. The mod was cleaned with SSEEdit. The ESP is form 44 of course.

FAQ

Q: Do you have permission from Cortex56 to publish the mod?
A: Yes, I have.


Q: Can you add my favorite body to the follower?
A: I could but I probably won't do it.

Q: Why?
A: If you are using your own body and a texture pack for females, why does the follower need her own body? That is just adding redundant resources.

Q: But...
A: If I make a CBBE version of a follower, people will ask for the UUNP version. Having a follower that accepts whatever you already have installed solves that
     problem. That is why I did it the way I have.

Q: I have too litte ESP slots. Can I flag this as ESL?
A: You can do this when you compact the form ID's first.

Q: Does this mod work with Skyrim VR ?
A: Usually this kind of mod should work, but I don't know it for sure. I don't own VR equipment and cannot test it. You have to find it out by yourself.

Q: Can you port the mod for XB1 ?
A: No. I don't use XB1.

Q: Can you provide ESL files ?
A
: I considered it, but no.

Q: Can you backport this mod to Oldrim ?
A
: Why still using Oldrim? Switch to SSE. It's time. Really. I mean it.

Q: I found a bug.
A: Oh damn! Please report it in the bugs section of this page. Try to describe the issue as accurate as possible and mention the version you use.
    I will try to fix as soon as possible.


Q: Are the girls lore-friendly ?
A: Yes.

Q: Can you add ... ? / Can you change ... ?
A: Maybe. Feel free to ask.

Q: I don't like these followers.
A: I don't need any complaints how you don't like the mod. Simply move on and use a mod you like.
