Liara Mod Abandoned

MajorWard · September 6

This mod by Blutarsky brought Liara into Fallout 4 as a companion, had some promise, but seems to have been abandoned (spoiler for nude in link thumbnail):

Spoiler

My biggest issue was that, while she will go to the nearest settlement if dismissed, she can't be assigned as a settler and she won't sandbox either. Would it be possible to give her these abilities through the Creation Kit or something? I am clueless when it comes to modding...

Hope someone with real modding experience helps because I always love that mod too. I suppose that, yes, with the Creation Kit you can do that, but the most I have done was on Skyrim or fallout new vegas adding some sex function to dialogue options or "fade to black" scenes. I do that just by seeing other mods' structure on Geck, copy and paste... maybe you can see another companion mod and look for the function that makes them a settler and copy the condition or whatever in the Liara one.

It is not abandoned. She was never intended to have full settler functionality. I have made other support mods that let you assign them to a settelr role as an add on. I believe I did that with kasumi and tina armstrong and one or two others, I am concerned about custom followers operating on a different custom system (especially one with early biotics) having issues. At some point I will get around to voicing her. but it was meant to be a simpler system that later was built on to make morrigan. Except w Morrian I had more flexibility because I could also substitute her firearm use for spells. Something Liara would not do as she used firearms in the games. Right now I am working on another Night club add on project. FYI its quicker to reach me throughPM or discord.

Maybe the "settler add on" i can do quickly but the voicing not so quickly. That will be a while and since she is not a story follower the other story based mods are a greater priority.

All you really need to do at a minimum is add a few settler workshop scripts and a faction or two. I was always concerned with adding full settler talk functions becase with custom dialogue it might create a conflict. In the past I did this ass an add on in case there was a problem.

That's fair and for the record this thread wasn't intended as an attack or complaint, more a lament. I certainly would never be able to make anything like it myself!

I also applaud your refusing to AI voice her, too!

Being able to make her a settler would be great!

Not really. I was planning to use AI however. I don't clone existing voices from other games, there is a new limited standard for modding where you re use existing fo4 voices strictly for fo4 (just like people used to cut up and splice existing voice files) the logic behind it is that they were paid to lend teh voice to the game, but using those clips for a diff game even diff bethseda game is not proper

. I have a paid subscription to speechify where everyone who loaned their voice to it was paid or volunteered to do so (some celebrities hae done so because speechfy is intented as a platform to help those with disabilities but I don't have access to those voices). I find a generic one that is close. but they are all paid actors. she might not sound like "Liara" from the games. but someone was paid on some end and its not stealing someone elses voice. If you want to help out I can send you some voice samples when I am ready to do so. The platform has become very restrictive of even editing thier paid voices (something i used to do because it was allowed). I have a pending request for me to continue to be able to do so and place certain restrictions on it (like take away my commercial use licesne which I won't use anyway). for older voices I was able to modify pitch in audacity then re enter them cant do that going forward unless i work something out w the higher ups.

I didn't take it as an attack. I have just been focused elsewhere and usually I am easier to reach if you pm me or hit me up on discord cause I don't always check the threads.

Fair enough. Voiced or not, I would love for her to be a settler but I get why it's not that simple.
