About This File

  A complete overhaul to Frea including greatly expanded dialogue, quest/location awareness, comments on player actions, npc interaction, combat enhancements and abilities, non-combat bonuses, sculpted face, multitude of appearance options, quest content, sexlab/flowergirls integration and much more!

  A Frea overhaul like you've never seen before...


Requirements:
- Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition
- SKSE64
- SkyUI
- Dawnguard, Dragonborn and Hearthfires need to be active in your load order.
- XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended (some wigs have breast bones)
- UNP or CBBE-based body required if you use Nether's Frea appearance
- This mod is near the record limit for ESL and uses a unique cell. It is not going to be ESLified.

Highlights:
- Can be used if you have completed the main Dragonborn quest or if you've never met Frea in game.
- Custom appearance with high-poly head, full maps for UNP/CBBE based bodies, built-in wig system that allows you to change or color her hair in game. Coloring works with wigs, such as HDT wigs.
- Almost 1000 lines of new, voiced dialogue. Aware of quests and player actions, combat lines, new interaction lines and much more.
- Relationship system that awards unique combat and non-combat abilities. Ability to marry Frea.
- Challenging quest content that allows you to help her become a better shaman.
- New abilities for Frea are discovered as she levels with you.
- Outfit system that allows you to pick up to 5 outfits for her. You can set her up to automatically change into different outfits through conditions you choose.
- Intimacy system for those that like a bit more adult adventure in their games. Supports Sexlab or Flowergirls and is hidden away if you don't have either installed. Can be disabled as well.

All these features add up to truly make Frea Fantabulous!

Installation:
- FOMOD installer for SSE.
- You can choose your appearance. Nether's Frea is recommended (but I'm biased of course) but you can also choose from: Bijin Warmaidens (Frea Standalone or All-In-One), Frea in Coldsun's Pantheon Pack 1, Pandorable's Frea, Vanilla Appearance or a User Textures option.
- User Textures give you Nether's appearance but uses your own installed body, head, eye and brow textures. It will use Nether's facegeom and facetint.
- If choosing Nether's Frea, you can pick between CBBE or UNP based textures. Choose the option that makes the type of body you use in game for most female characters.
- If choosing Nether's Frea, you can pick between Athletic, Toned or Smooth body normal maps.
- You may optionally elect to add support for Party Combat Parameters, in way of a new icon for Frea. (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57127)
- Finally, you can choose the Follower System that you use: NFF, AFT or EFF/Vanilla.
- Note that there is no longer a hair color color option since you can now choose wigs and wig hair color in game.

Updating:
- The Updates document (Nether's Frea Updates.text) and the changelog shows all the changes from the earlier versions of Nether's Frea (1.0) to Frea 2.0.
- There are significant changes from the old version to this one. I recommend a new game as the safest option, if going from 1.0 to 2.0. However, if you haven't met Frea yet in your current game and you currently have 1.0 installed, it should be fine.
- If you haven't installed a version of Nether's Frea at all in your current game, you should be able to install this mod at any point (this is very general advice, I can't vouch for your specific game).

Aquiring:

Spoiler

- Frea is found as per normal on Solsthiem through the Dragonborn questline. There are no direct changes to how this works. It should take around 30-40 minutes of game play to freely use her as a follower if you go directly to the Temple of Miraak.
- If you're trying to get directly to Frea, it might be easier to take the route above Raven Rock's marketplace area than to go out the main gate.
- The MCM is locked and mostly greyed out until you have returned with her to the Skaal village and freed her people from the wind stone.
- Per Dragonbon, you need to "convince" Frea to join you. This requires a Speech of 25 or higher (can be modified by potions or enchantments to reach 25 or higher).
- When facing Miraak, Frea will stay behind at the Skaal village, per Dragonborn DLC design. I would not recommend try to place her in a home location or use other means to change that (such as Home Base system in NFF) if you are going down the questline to defeat Miraak. Heading out to face Miraak only takes about 45-60 minutes.


Appearance:
 

Spoiler

- When using Nether's Frea appearance, all textures are included for either the CBBE or UNP body, to reduce seams and color mismatches.
- Includes scultped Hi-Poly Head (base by KouLeifoh), customized face overlay (includes features by Koralina).
- Includes face, brow and eye textures. Eye textures are custom created but based on Natural Eyes.
- Fair Skin Complexion and Sporty Sexy Maps were used along with Frecklemania for body and head textures, with tweaks.
- Includes Face, eyebrow (Maeven2's Eyebrows) and eye textures (customized from nevenbridge81's Natural Eyes).
- All textures have generated mipmaps.
- Hair and wigs are from KS Hairdos, with tweaked texture maps. Where applicable, hair is breast-bone weighted.
- 8 built in wigs are provided for Frea that suit her appearance and personality. You can easily switch to different wigs using the MCM or via a Style Menu power/hotkey. Frea can also switch between different wigs randomly (chance rolled per day).
- Choose from 15 different hair colors for each of the wigs. Like base wigs, can be changed with MCM, Style Menu or randomly.
- You should be able to use HDT wigs or other wig mods on her as long as they use the hairtint node. They can be colored via MCM/Power just like the wigs that come with her.
- Create up to 5 outfits for Frea and switch to them when you like or set up conditions in the MCM as to when she will automatically switch to a different outfit.


Personality and Interaction:
 

Spoiler

- Over 900 lines of new, voiced dialogue.
- All custom lines generated using xVASynth tool for Skyrim, hand-crafted and tweaked to sound natural and for quality and brightness. Now are offered in 44k sound quality.
- Idle lines that can be spoken in a variety of different situations or locations, such as: weather, inns, cities, player homes, dungeons and being out in the wilderness.
- You can control much of how idles are spoken in Frea's MCM, including minimum and maximum frequency in game hours, general chance of lines spoken and chance of lewd, flirty or humorous lines.
- NPC aware: Mostly for annoying people so far. She will sometimes interact with Guards, Heimskyr, Olfina, Nazeem and Rolff.
- Quest aware: Comments that involve points along the main vanilla, companions, dark brotherhood and dawnguard questlines, thus far. There are also general fill-in comments and lines for other parts of the game.
- Player condition aware: Can comment when the player is sick, has lycanthropy/vampire, is naked, being intimate with other npcs, is overburdened or low on health potions.
- Player action aware: Can comment when the player loots loose items in the world, loots bodies, loots treasure chests, collides with her and so on.
- Comments when changing her hairstyle, if she is set up to do this periodically.
- Expanded general lines such as seeing wonderous sight, feeling danger, healing her, casting spells on her, hellos, goodbyes and so on.
- Additional lines for common follower interaction, such as recruit, dismiss, trade, wait and follow.
- Frea's dragonborn-based lines are now only spoken once when conversing with the player, to reduce dialogue clutter.


Relationship:
 

Spoiler

- Relationship system that evolves as she gets to know you better. This affects spoken lines and provides additional abilities and quest content at certain ranks. Rank is based on a goal of 500 "points" and begins at Associated, then progresses to Friendly (25% of the point total), Interested (50% of the point total) then Enamored (100% of the point total). At Enamored, Frea can be married. 
- Frea only accrues relationship points while she is a follower. Spending time with her gets you 3-4 points per hour. You can gain 1 or 2 points by asking her how she is doing (can be done once per game hour). You can receive up to 5 bonus points if she levels with you (per level up) or she is fighting by your side (per hour). Completing any of the quests she offers can give you up to 12 bonus points.
- If you don't want to wait to acrue relationship points, you can bump up Frea's relationship by clicking on her relationship status in the MCM. This raises it one level and you can raise it all the way up to Enamored, if you wish.
- Marriage and vanilla hearthfire locations are supported. There are currently no adopted children lines and creation club homes (SSE) are not supported.


Gameplay - Combat:
 

Spoiler

- Frea has slightly improved Heath, Stamina and Magicka.
- Corrections to Skills for heavy armor and using weapon in each hand. (similar to Unofficial Patch) with customized Combat Style with dual weapon ability.
- Elemental Strike Ability (perk) adds a chance to cause frost, fire or shock damage when attacking with a one-handed weapon (works in each hand). Adds bonus of 8 damage to attacks that can be resisted. This damage scales by 20% at level 20 and increases in scaling by 20% for every 10 levels, up to level 100. Frea has smart control over which type of element to manifest and will attempt to use an element her opponent has a weakness against, if any.
- Frost Armor Ability (voiced) replaces armor spells and adds a scaling protection from physical damage by hardening Frea's skin like ice. Base of 32 protection that doubles at level 15, triples at level 30, x4 at level 45 and x5 at level 60. Works with or without worn armor. This ability is vocalized ("All-maker protect me").
- Storm Call Ability - When outside, can strike foes with lightning bolts called from the sky. Does base 25 damage and scales up with level, like elemental strike. Voiced ability and lasts 45 seconds with 60 second cooldown. Frea will always attempt to lightning strike her current combat target and can switch targets if the AI wishes to. This ability is vocalized ("you face the storm", etc).
- Armor Efficiency (Perk) - 25% Armor bonus if wearing Light or Heavy Armor. Can mix and match. Requires chest, hands and feet to be worn.
- Torches are disabled for Frea if she (and the player) are in combat. This is to promote her using 2 actual weapons in combat. They are returned once combat ends. Only works on vanilla torches.


Gameplay - Nature Affinities:
 

Spoiler

- Upon reaching Relationship rank 1 with Frea and completing a quest, unlocks her Nature Affinity ability. This allows you to choose an animal-based buff for her that is based on a certain type of spirit animal. Initially she knows the first 3 and can learn more as she levels up with you.

- The affinities are as follows:

-- Spirit of the Stag: +100 Health and Stamina, +75 Movement speed.
-- Spirit of the Bear: +140 Health, 15% physical damage reduction.
-- Spirit of the Sabrecat: +100 Health and Stamina, 15% additional physical damage.
-- Spirit of the Fox: +75 Stamina, very hard to detect when moving and is considered muffled, takes 30% less damage when under 50% health, +40 Movement speed.
-- Spirit of the Wolf: +65 Health, Stamina and Magicka, +40 Movement speed.
-- Spirit of the Netch: +160 Health, 30 Shock Resistance, Shock spells and effects do 15% more damage.
-- Spirit of the Crow: +150 Magicka, +15% to any incoming health restoration effects (potions or spells), +10% Magic Resistance.


Gameplay - Elemental Boons:
 

Spoiler

- Reaching relationship rank 2 with Frea and completing a quest, unlocks her Elemental Boons ability. You can choose 2 augments that enhance her elemental abilities. She knows the first 4 Boons initially and has a chance to learn additional ones as she levels with the player. Also, when she learns all boons, you can pick a 3rd active one for her. A special quest also allows an additional choice.
- Some boons rely on Frea's base Elemental Strike, which manifests ice, fire or lightning on weapon strikes when doing a power attack (also has a flat 25% chance).

The boons are as follows:

-- Primal Heal: If under 75% Health, Elemental Strike attacks restore 20% of Frea's Base Health and Stamina. Costs a small amount of Magicka.
-- Wildstorm: Frea's Elemental Strike attacks can cause additional elemental damage. She has a 50% chance on each strike to randomly manifest additional Fire, Cold or Shock damage. This extra strike has an additional 40% chance to again cause random elemental damage.
-- Spirit Pack: When Frea's Frost Armor is activated, 2-3 Spirit Wolf allies are called to her side. They are 50% of her level, act as teammates, their power attacks do extra frost damage and occasionally knock down enemies.
-- Divine Resilience: Elemental attacks made against Frea are 30% less effective (reduced damage) and her movement is not hindered by cold (slow) or physical shock (stagger).
-- Wind Strikes: Frea's Elemental Strike attacks stagger opponents and have a 40% chance to fling them, doing moderate damage.
-- Lightning Charge: Frea's frost armor is charged with forked lightning, periodically striking opponents for electrical damage. Costs moderate Magicka. Damage does not hurt allies.
-- Frost Renewal: While Frea's Frost Armor is active, Frea or one of her allies are periodically healed for 25% of their base Health. Targets are only healed if they are below 75% health. This heal costs moderate Magicka.
-- Icy Breath: Allows Frea to breath a gout of frost that causes 24 frost damage, staggers and has a 25% chance to freeze an enemy for 5 seconds. Can be used once per 12 seconds. No Magicka cost.
-- Revitalizing Mist: While Frea's Frost Armor is active, Frea and her allies are healed for 4% of their Health/Stamina and 2% of their Magicka every 3 seconds.


Gameplay - Elemental Conduit:
 

Spoiler

- Upon reaching relationship rank 3 and completing a quest unlocks the ability for you to pick an additional active boon for Frea and you and her both receive the Elemental Conduit ability. All Fire, Frost and Shock spells and effects are 10% stronger (Magnitude) and you and her receive 10% less effect from Destruction spells with those elements. Frea must be a follower for you to receive the bonus.
Gameplay - Learning New Abilities:
- The quests involved with unlocking the various abilities will happen very shortly after reaching each relationship rank with Frea. In any non-dungeon location, she will ask to speak with you to start the quests. This way you don't have to hunt down couriers or go to very specific locations initially. The quests were partly designed to add more content to Solstheim, so all of them will take place there.
- Each time Frea levels with the player, she can learn a new Nature Affinity, a new Elemental Boon, or sometimes both.
- If you don't want to wait for Frea to learn Affinities and Boons, you can learn them all with a click in the MCM


Gameplay - General:
 

Spoiler

- Skaal Resourcefulness (non-combat ability) - Frea can assist when the player is tanning or smelting, sometimes producing extra crafted materials due to efficiency and technique (15% chance). Must be a follower. Frea will attempt to walk to the crafting area and assist or advise (just an extra visual touch).
- At relationship rank 1 or higher, Frea can cure disease on you once per day. This is done through dialogue.
- All gameplay dialogues end with "+" to distinguish them from vanilla and other modded dialogues.


Outfit and Home:
 

Spoiler

- Robust Outfit System. You can create up to 5 outfits for Frea via dialogue. When the first outfit is created, it will automatically be worn. Additional outfits can be worn by asking her to wear them. You can also choose certain conditions as to when she should automatically switch to an outfit (the MCM menu will dynamically change if you set her to switch into outfits, so you won't see features until you turn it on). Each outfit can be given multiple conditions if you like but 2 outfits cannot have the same condition (you cannot set 2 home outfits for example, or 2 sleep outfits).
- Unlimited Storage System. Now she can pack mule her stuff and it's a safe place to put wearable items that you don't want the outfit system to accidentally affect.
- Home System. You can set her to live practically anywhere. Supports Day (6am to 2pm), Evening (2pm to 10pm) and Night (10pm to 6am) locations. When first used, all 3 time/locations are set to where Frea is currently standing. From there you can set different day, evening and night locations. You can also set her to sleep at day, evening or night. Removing locations will clear all locations and times so that you can start over. Any entry that shows "Tamriel" means that the location is not defined in game, so this is a catch-all word


Gameplay - Intimacy:
 

Spoiler

- Frea includes integration with Sexlab and FlowerGirls that provides sex dialogue. If you have either of these mods installed, it will activate Intimacy dialogue and set some options related to that mod. Sexlab is preferred if you have both Sexlab and FlowerGirls installed, but you can freely change between systems in the MCM.
- There is also support for Sexlab Aroused Redux, if you are using Sexlab. However, it defaults to an internal Libido system.
- All features can be changed in the MCM menu for Frea, under the Intimacy tab.
- When talking to Frea about Intimacy ("In the mood for a little fun?"), rolls will be made in the background that determine the chance of success of being intimate with her, chance of you being persuasive, chance of you getting your way if she wants to do something different (positions) and so on.
- Your overall chances are based on your Relationship with her, your Speech, her Arousal/Libido, if she is fatigued from intimacy, if you have irritated her in your dialogue choices and she's currenly moody and how often you've been intimate before.
- The built-in Libido system is similar to Aroused. It provides a value that ranges from 0 to 100 and reflects her sexual energy and inclination. It rises and falls faster than Arousal and she will usually be fully recharged (100) within a day or two. Relationship rank affects how much Libido increases per hour. Libido randomly fluctuates every 12-16 hours and can be reduced by 50% or more.
- If she agrees to being intimate with you, she will often suggest something she'd like to do. If you want to do something different, she can agree or decline. If she disagrees and you press the matter, she can get moody, which affects future attempts for a while (a cooldown in game hours, which lowers over time). Asking her to be intimate while she is moody can further extend the cooldown.
- She can also get moody if you change your mind right before doing the act, which adds to the cooldown as above.
- If she is moody, the player still has a chance to persuade her. Failing it will add to moodiness.
- Fatigue can also affect whether or not your intimacy attempts succeed. Different types of acts wear her down momentarily (this declines over time just like her being moody). Foreplay-type actions cause less fatigue and more physical ones adding more fatigue. Note that fatigue (nor moodiness) doesn't completely eliminate your chances with her.
- You can also configure the chance that Frea will squirt on different stages and during an orgasm in the MCM. This feature is only available for Sexlab.
- For Sexlab, intimacy frequency, squirt chance and other things are only used when initiating sex dialogue when using Nether's Frea. However, you can activate support for other sexlab mods, such as SLEN, in the MCM that will hook these events to Sexlab in general. This feature isn't available for FlowerGirls.
- Upon completing an intimacy act, Frea can make a comment about it. You can turn this feature on in the MCM menu.
- There is also an option to have Frea approach the player if she is feeling in the mood. This only occurs in less dangerous locations such as towns, cities and one of the player's homes. You can define several options for this in the MCM, such as the frequency, threshold and whether or not to add a location that isn't recognized.
- Using the Style Menu hotkey, you can view a summary of Frea's Intimacy at any time. This keeps you from having to constantly go to the MCM.
- Being completely transparent, this feature was designed assuming a male protagonist, so if you are playing a female character, the choices are more limited. Female PC's will always take the dominant role in regard to positions. Handjob/footjob and Oral positions are skipped as well (Oral and Cunnilingus are considered separate categories here).
- If using FlowerGirls, the system is a bit less flexible. There is no hand/foot animation position types, so those are not offered as choices. Also, there isn't as a defined API compared to Sexlab so I use periodic checks for things like post intimacy dialogue.
- There are no current plans to add Intimacy features to OSex or its variants as there are already plenty of robust add-ons for them and there's only so much time in the day to develop for what I already have.
- This is an all or nothing feature in terms of whether you want to use the Intimacy system or not. You can completely disable it if you don't care for it or its features. There are no plans to add a PG "fade to black" option.


Integration:
 

Spoiler

- NFF: If using Nether's Follower Framework, an exception is added concerning extra inventory and outfits, hiding those features to Frea by default. Outfit dialogue is not hidden if a NFF outfit slot is in use for her.
- Works fine with RDO and will automatically generate an NPC "exception" in RDO to allow Frea to function separately. In other words, works outside of it and is not affected by it.


MCM Control:
 

Spoiler

- Comprehensive MCM menu under "Nether's Frea".
- See status of relationship and what percent has completed.
- Set the ability to speak extra idles and/or location lines.
- Set frequency of idles and/or location lines. Note that these sliders are dynamic, and you will need to lower the minimum values beforing lowering the maximum values (and the reverse). Only updates in game after the last idle time has passed.
- Can change percentage chance of idle/location lines spoken.
- Enable or Disable Humor, Flirty or Lewd lines. All lines are more or less "lore friendly". Flirty is suggestive but "cute", Lewd can cross the line a bit but is not outrightly vulgar. There are not very many Humor lines but they are there - some are bad pun level.
- Can modify the chance of spell abilities. Setting any percents to 0% will disable that ability.
- Can hide or show Outfit, Storage and Home dialogues. Hiding does not affect the functionality.
- Can cause all vanilla dialogues to be "completed", hiding them from view.


Issues:
 

Spoiler

- Sometimes Frea will swim in the air when near a small area of water. Unfortunately, this isn't a feature that I put in and it seems like typical "Skyrim Feature". I have redone abilities and other things several times to find a cause. Hopefully this is rare occurance for you.
- Though every effort has been made to keep Frea from talking over other followers when idling, there's only so much I can do. If you find her chatter is too much, adjust it in the MCM. Keep in mind that comment chance for idle lines is rolled "per line", so to drastically affect her, you want to go fairly low. Chance for comments when looting things is rolled per "event", not per line.
- Some of this is new ground for me, so let me know how Frea does for you.

 

Edited by Netherworks


What's New in Version 2.0.4

Released

2.0.4

- Fixed an issue where using Flowergirls option might cause a continuous loop due to alias not being cleared. If Frea is currently in this state, just talk to her, allow the FG scene to complete and should be fixed upon end.

 

2.0.3

- Bijin All-In-One Combined option now built into the FOMOD installer. Optional file no longer necessary from this point on if you use this Bijin option.
- Corrected an issue where wig would be applied even if you chose none.
- Added an option in the MCM that helps to enforce 3rd party hair by re-applying it if Frea has become naked. This is only for 3rd party wigs added by other mods that you trade to her inventory to wear them. This option might not be necessary in all cases and is off by default. It can be left off if you are using the Wigs provided by this mod OR you aren't using a wig at all.

 

2.0.2

- Fixed MCM not showing up due to cascading issue regarding SL, FG and/or SL Aroused not being installed and other mods that also might be making calls to those. This had the effect of causing parts of the mod to shut down. It is now handled in a non-intrusive way.
- If using SL Aroused, the number shown in the MCM may not always be accurate and may show the last checked value.
- Added a Fade to Black setting for Intimacy. This setting is toggled on the Configuration page of Frea's MCM. If enabled, the MCM will show the Intimacy page if you don't have SL or FG installed. Fade to black causes the screen to fade before the act (no animations). It does track position statistics and so forth. It is on the configuration page to keep the Intimacy area tucked away.
- Added an Intimacy Bonus slider on the Intimacy Page. This will make Intimacy and related persuasions by the player easier if set above 0 by giving you a flat extra bonus to those chances.
- Fixed FOMOD issue where scalp texture might not be installed.
