Help with porting follower [Liara T'soni]

[wower2345]

Hey, so I found a really cool mod with Liara T'soni from Mass Effect as a follower for Skyrim (https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/121-me4fans-companions/). I tried downloading this version and after messing around with it for a little I ran into an issue where Liara's naked body would be a weird shade of blue instead of displaying the correct textures. I wasn't sure how to fix it and in the meantime I also found an edited version of the original mod here (https://www.loverslab.com/topic/44417-random-wip-thread/page/4/#comment-1327719). Her body textures seemed to work, she even had an SMP body too! Sadly, it would seem that running them through Bodyslide returned errors. In the game she had a pretty big hand seam and neck seam. I tried replacing the body mesh files with 3BA ones, which did fix the hand seam but it didn't help with the neck seam. I also tried using CAO, and NifSkope on the assets, but that didn't seem to help either. The screenshot I'm attaching is with the original, unedited body, the 3BA one has no issues with hands, but still has a tiny neck seam that I'm not really sure how to fix. I really want to have a nice-looking Liara in my game, could anyone here try to assist me with porting this properly?

I wish there was a Liara mod for SE / AE.

Nice one!  Does she have a CBBE 3BA nude body to build in bodyslide?

Also, do I need the original mod too, or just the above file?

She doesn't have a body to build, she just uses the base one you have. If you don't think your base body is fitting for her maybe consider using OBodyNG for something else.
And no, you don't need the original mod.

Thanks, already got her installed and found her in The Arcaneum.  Only thing I noticed “wrong” was the same texture (it’s not that noticeable unless up close and personal) and muscle definition being applied to most other females in the game (I have CBBE 3BA) but I think it looks better, especially on the Housecarls and Jenassa.  Plus morphs and physics all still seem to work so it’s all good.

That's... interesting. I haven't encountered such an issue myself, maybe some sort of mod conflict or version difference is causing this? Well, if you think it's fine then it's fine.

I'd say it looks better!

Ok, wow, just noticed it in my game, probably because it was overwritten by my other skin texture replacers before. The issue had to do with the plugin, here's the fixed version if anyone wants it.ERF_Liara_Follower.rar

I think I will leave it as it is 😉
