I have need of some Follower tutorials

[Car Fax]

Like the title says, I've decided that I want to start creating followers.

 

There are a lot of tutorials out there (I also recall seeing a tool on the nexus that supposedly does most of the work for you),

But I'd like to ask if anyone could share;

 

- Tutorials

 

- Tools

 

- General Advice

 

Thank you in advance

I found a pretty good tutorial here. I didn't actually use it to create a follower, just to look at how some of the dialogue conditions worked, but it seems solid.

I just realized that, because I use MO, how am I going to load all the esp files (mostly hair mods) in the CK?

Do I just run the CK through MO?

Yeah... I've always contended that if you're going to be doing any modding work that involves scripting and/or file management (both of which complex follower mods involve) you're best off with all of your files installed into one directory (which MO of course does not do).

 

As for tutorials on making a standalone follower, I go into a fairly decent discussion of what's involved here: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/38942-making-custom-followers/

 

Making quests for them, or custom dialogue... there are a number of tutorials out there for quests generally and this (https://youtu.be/Z8v1BcVNwLU) is very good for custom dialogue.

Okay, that tutorial is actually very useful.

I'm only looking to make a simple follower, no custom dialogue or bodies (other than what I already have installed).
