Not long ago a user of one of my follower mods
owned a deleted version of my Clarynthe Follower.
I was asked if i could make an ESP-FE version of her.
I thought it wouldn't be possible without drastically altering her looks with my current set-up.
So i sought a way around it from what i've learnt so far about followers.
Some how, i actually managed it. With no adverse effects to her appearance.
Then recently i've been asked a few times if it can be done with other followers.
After testing it with 1 or 2 example's of other author's works,
follower pictured left is 'Smaff's Lilah follower' in ESP-FE format
it worked on those as well.
So this tutorial is the whole process of my method on how to make followers ESP-FE.
This tutorial has worked for other users other than myself!!!
What it actually is?
It's a NotePad document detailing my Process.
I might provide other format's along the way if people ask for them,
but it's not a very long tutorial
and most people should have a version of Notepad available.
Disclaimer:
- I'm probably not the only one who knows how to do this, someone could of figured it out as well.
- i haven't seen any documentation on it, or know of it personally.
- This is the result of gathering knowledge from various sources I've read over time.
- Don't ask about additional information about Xedit, that should have it's own documentation.
- Please back up your work before trying anything, that's your responsibility
- You chose to do this at your own Peril
- If the follower has a lot of records, or external assets (Sofia for example) then convert at your own risk!
- It's advisable to not compact follower mods that use quest/sequences either.
- custom dialogue followers should not be converted either.
- This is purely just to help out those that want it, don't make requests beyond what it is.
