Nether's Eola

For Skyrim Special Edition only.

A wickedly macabre, darkly humorous re-imagination of Skyrim's Eola. Features an enhanced, tweaked follower with plenty of options, an additional follower by the way of Nimphaneth (wood elf cannibal necromancer), extensive idle interactions between Eola and Nimph (if you use them both), harvesting of "tasty meat" from recently killed humanoids (can be used as potent food by cannibals or enhanced with discoverable reciples), and additional lootable skulls that you can collect to gain blessings from Namira.

Note: This mod is intended to be tongue in cheek, much like the sarcasm of the "Addams Family" movies, 80's and 90's quippy horror, and expand upon elements introduced in the game. It does play with necromancy and cannibalism in a humorous way and should not be taken seriously. Some lines spoken by Eola and Nimphaneth have adult context or play with modernisms and movie references. While this mod focuses on humor, both followers are very capable as in-game companions.

The overall goal of this series of mods is to further expand vanilla characters introduced in the game and give them a unique feel, even between different NPCs that utilize the same voice actor.

What if I don't want to be a Cannibal?

- Do Namira's quest but don't engage in cannibalism. However, Nimph and Eola are cannibals. You can toggle many of the features of this mod to configure it to your own "tastes" or you can not use the mod if you are bothered by it.

Does this support Namira For Good Guys?

- Yes, you can trick Namira if your character is morally obligated. However, Nimph and Eola will remain as they are designed. See above.

I don't want to do the quest, can I just have Eola?

No, do the quest. It takes like 10 minutes. It is one of the quickest quests to obtain a capable follower (even under a pure Vanilla aesthetic).

REQUIREMENTS:

- Dawnguard and Dragonborn must be installed and active in your load order.

- SKSE64

- SkyUI (there is an MCM for followers provided)

- UNP or CBBE-based body (vanilla body is not supported)

- OPTIONAL High Poly Head requires High Poly Head 1.4 by KouLeifoh (at least the base mod)

RECOMMENDED:

- XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended

- A multi-follower manager is recommended if you want to use Eola and the bonus follower, Nimphaneth, together. NFF, AFT, EFF and frameworks based on the vanilla dialogue follower system are supported. This mod is more fun with both Eola and Nimphaneth together as a pair.

INSTALLATION:

- Fomod Installer (supports SSE only).

- Choose your Head Type (High Poly or Standard)

- Choose the type of Eola Replacer (supports Nether's Eola as seen in mod screenshots, Eola from Bijin Warmaidens, Eola from Coldsun's Creations, and Vanilla (also choose this option if you use Fresh Faces). Nimphaneth will still use the head and hair options from this mod.

- Choose your Body Type (CBBE or UNP)

- Choose Eola's Hair Color (only if you selected Nether's Eola) - Blonde, Red or Silver.

- Choose Nimphaneth's Hair Color - Brown, Red or Black.

- Choose Eola's Eye Option (only if you selected Nether's Eola) - Left Eye Blind or Left Eye Grey.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Enhanced version of Eola with custom perks, combat style and ability to select which spells she can use and her overall power (via the MCM).

- Additional Nimphaneth follower with custom spells, perks, combat style and ability to select which spells she can use and her overall power (via the MCM).

- Both followers include lots of unique, custom dialogue and idles. If you use both followers via a multi-follower manager, they will interact with each other - for this reason, it's a lot more fun if you use them both together.

- Easily assign up to 5 outfits and easily switch between them.

- "Tasty Meat" can be harvested from bodies that cannibals (including player) can use as health food. You can discover 12 additional recipes for turning this food into more potent versions, some with special effects.

- Collectables - You can find special skulls in boss chests, 25 in total. For every 5 collected, you can gain a blessing from Namira (bonus to Health, Magicka or Stamina - your choice). Multiple choices from gaining more skulls can stack.

- Customize mod features via the MCM menu. Yes, you can turn off features you don't like.
