Ship Yard: Patching Triss Merigold (mod)
TLDR; My own patch for imAarwyns great mod Triss Merigold
This work in progress is a patch for imAarwyn's great mod Triss Mergold from The Witcher universe. (Triss Merigold The Witcher Voiced Standalone Follower CBBE)
Unfortunately RL is limiting her ambitions to move this mod a step further. So, I experimented a bit to add or change a few things for my personal taste.
Right now, I am thinking to be ready for others to test my little patch. If it works, I will publish it here on LL as patch v1.
Please comment below here, if you see anything odd, bugs, more ideas ...
But please keep in mind, that I am a bloody novice and a just-now-deflowered-virgin when it comes to programming Skyrim mods.
Credits & Thanks
Since this whole work is based on imAarwyns effort, all credits, praises and thanks belong to her!
If you like Triss, please go over to the original mod and tell her.
Whenever imAarwyn would like this patch to her mod to disappear, I will do so!
And since she had help along the way, I cut&paste the following from her credits:

Thanks to Andrzej Sapkowski for his great novels and creating our lovely red headed sorceress..
Finally, special thanks to Ashal for making all of this here on LL possible
