creating a follower mod

[edp554]

decided i wanna do something about the lack of male follower mods. problem is, i've never created a mod before and most of the guides i found are very old. anyone got videos or guides i can use to figure out where to start and what to do?

This is an all-encompassing guide that seems written for someone without a lot of prior CK experience:

https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Adding_a_Follower_NPC_to_Skyrim

 

You could just jump straight into that guide. Or instead, you may want to start by teaching yourself some CK basics.

All NPCs in Skyrim are things called 'Actors'. So you'll want to familiarize yourself with them.

How to make an "Actor": https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Bethesda_Tutorial_Creating_an_Actor

============

 

The overall process boils down to:

1 - Make the actor

2 - Add them to the right factions (see section 3.3 of the first link)

3 - create a relationship object for them (section 3.4)

 

works like a charm every time.
