Other Body-Shape Versions:

A 3BA version is available: Hell Knight Ingrid - Demon Follower 3BA - ESPFE.

For now, I'm not planning to add different body-shape versions like CBBE-3BA that I've never used before. If you want her to have other body shapes and skins, you could replace her meshes, skeleton, and textures with the ones you like under the folders below:

・ [Your MOD Folder]\Hell Knight Ingrid - High Poly Demon Spellsword Follower - ESPFE\Meshes\Actors\Character\Ingrid

・ [Your MOD Folder]\Hell Knight Ingrid - High Poly Demon Spellsword Follower - ESPFE\Textures\Actors\Character\Ingrid

Don't forget to edit the texture paths in the .nif files with NifSkope.

To apply a bodypaint to her skin, you have to copy and paste bodypaint .dds files using GIMP or Paint.net (any image-editing soft that can handle .dds files) as overlays (opacity: 0.25-0.50) onto her diffuse map of the body (femalebody_1.dds) and export it as a DXT1 .dds file with mipmaps under the same name (femalebody_1.dds). Make sure these two .dds files have the same size. I recommend using the Box mipmap filter for GIMP, and the Adaptive mipmap filter for Paint.net.

If you use one from Sunstarved - Tanlines for UUNP and CBBE - Racemenu Overlays - Special Edition, you need to remove the alpha channel from the bodypaint.dds file and convert the black color to transparency before you paste it onto the body map. You can do this from the layer menu of GIMP.

Alternatively, you could use the NPC cosmetic menu of PROTEUS to access her RaceMenu and apply skin overlays to her face and body.

Installation:

Install with a MOD manager of your choice. It's safe to install mid-game. She's hanging around inside "Sleeping Giant Inn" in Riverwood.

If she gets separated from you, use the "moveto player" console command to call her to your current location. Her Ref. ID is FE***804 ("FE***" is the mod index in your esp list).

---------------

Building Her Body Shape:

I included BHUNP BodySlide slidersets to build her naked body parts and armor pieces. You can find them under the group named "Ingrid BHUNP" in your BodySlide.

Her default body shape is built with the included BHUNP preset named "Ingrid_BHUNP".Use this preset or any BHUNP preset of your choice to build her body parts and armors.

Spoiler:

The slider sets of the body part contains an original sllider named "Forearm_Fix" I added so as to smooth the bumpy wrist area. Its value is set to 100% in the inclluded preset.

The slider sets of the torso armor contains another original slider named "Breast_Fix" I added so as to solve the interference issue in the breast area. Use this slider if you encounter bulging out breast meshes. In building the torso armor, you can choose whether to include feathers and skirt by ticking or unticking the small boxes located near the top of the sliders  (above the "Breast_Fix" slider).

---------------

Incompatibility:

If you're using any mod that makes changes to the interior cell of Sleeping Giant Inn, she might not be there. If you're familiar with CK or SSEEdit, you could change her location to another cell.

Please let me know if you find any conflict issues. You could post a comment in the "POSTS" section, or send me a PM. I might be able to create patches to fix them.
