SC - Deirdre the Witch
Deirdre the Witch, the character I made a few months ago, ported to Skyrim (LE/SE). She's both a follower and two variants of playable races. The mod's available for download over on my discord server for lvl 3 subscribers and above on Boosty.
She has two race variants:
1. If you ever wondered about the characters I make for myself, this is basically it, safe for not very wide wardrobe. She comes with her own brand new lovingly sculpted body-hands-feet and her special outfit. This is how I usually play the game. Completely standalone experience, although locked to one outfit and one hairstyle (you can use other hairstyles, provided you patch those hair mods with what's described in the 2nd point).
2. Vanilla-compatible race, which does not have its own unique body stuff and requires mature skin to function. You can replace her body meshes and textures with your own custom humongous boobs - whatever floats your boat - and it also has enabled chargen for whatever purposes you want. Skin and hair color are not locked, and you can pick whatever hairstyle you want, provided you patch your hair mod's races in headparts to "NONE" or add this race to the humanoids form list (I'm not doing this myself because of compatibility reasons and a shitton of hair mods available); the head is also of 0 weight only. There's an additional version of her outfit available for this race that comes with the mod which is marked with (VNS).
The races share the same stats and starting spells.
Both races have eye makeup, it's available under brow type slider.
For the chargen, some sliders serve different purpose than what bethesda intended:
- Brows back-forward slider - eyes size;
- Chin thin-wide slider - lips width;
- Eyes back-forward - eyes tilt;
- Underbite-overbite (i think in vanilla game it's smth like chin forward) - lips size;
The whole chargen consists of 15 eyes shapes, 15 nose shapes and 15 lips shapes (I'm sorry it's not a lot, imagining and designing shapes is hella tough).
Her head shape should be compatible with most vanilla and modded hairstyles, though minor touchups in either OS or racemenu's sculpting thingy may be required.
Deirdre the follower uses the first type of race. She's at the Bannered Mare waiting for you. I'm sorry, I'm definitely not making the follower vanilla-compatible because it doesn't fit my CrEaTiVe ViSiOn.
She's also marriageable.
She has three quality options:
1. Quality (939mb total): 8k bc3 clothes, 4k uncompressed body and head.
2. Balanced (675mb total): 4k bc3 clothes, 4k uncompressed body and head.
3. Performance (364mb total): 4k bc3 clothes, 4k uncompressed body, 2k uncompressed head and various bc3 compressions for other textures.
All screenshots were taken in LE with super-duper uncompressed stuff straight from the oven because I can and I totally can't recommend this for normal gameplay unless you have a high end hardware or you take pics.
As I mentioned, vanilla-compatible race requires mature skin. To install it, drop your mature skin pick to:
"textures\SC\0_Followers\Witch\Body\_Vanilla\"
Your body meshes (and I remind you she's ZERO WEIGHT ONLY):
"Meshes\SC\0_Followers\Witch\Body\_VanillaPlayable\"
