Eola and Nimph - Patreon Free-For-All!

NOTE: You cannot update Eola and Nimph from the very old version from a few years ago, prior to version 2.0. The original was not flagged esl because espfe (extended range) didn't exist back then and there were over 2500 records (limit was 2048 at that time). Trying to update is very likely to cause issues. Sorry, this hadn't come up in the pre-release.

The huge rework of Nether's Eola & Nimph is finally here! Now available to all tiers, including the Free Tier. Requires Free Account due to Adult content.

There have been some really great improvements, new features, new voices for both and much more. A worthy pair for your adventures in Skyrim and lands beyond!

Updates prior to release:

- Optimized MCM so that selecting some options no longer hang Mod Configuration when you leave the Eola and Nimph entry to go to a different one before completely exiting out.

- Follow-Up to Taste of Death requires the player to be in Tamriel to initiate, so that means outside, not in a dungeon, in Skyrim.

- Eola or Nimph must be a teammate for tasty meat and other mod items to drop. It's better for the mod features to be contained when you want a break from them.

- Intimacy Proposal slightly redesigned to travel to the player (follow) first then engage in forcegreet for the proposal. This should better allow them to move through load doors. Also, proposal is paused if combat occurs prior to engagement, though another scene starting would still end it.

- Clears approach package after talking to Eola/Nimph if in approach dialogue or walking away.

- Fixed MCM not greyed in some spots prior to finishing DA11.

- Added non Skypatcher/Recast option to the installer if you want Nether's appearance but cannot use either of these for some reason. Install an esl flagged esp patch.

- Added 12% chance for a variety of different alert idles, similar to the game/how it's done in my Eola mod. Reduced chance for some other combat lines so that they're less frequent + added 1 hour timeout. This should relieve repetition/chatty behavior.

- Fixed an issue in the MCM where Nimph's wig toggles were affecting Eola and seemed unresponsive.

- Added Eola and Nimph voices to NFF's voices lists.

- Fixed a situation where entering a new dungeon and having both Eola and Nimph would award Mood twice.

Hold tight, this is going to be a long post, but I want you to know what you're getting into!

A wickedly macabre, darkly humorous re-imagination of Skyrim's Eola and Nimphaneth. Enhanced and tweaked versions of Skyrim's npcs with brand new voices, new gameplay features, new quest content, collectable items, quest and location awareness and tons of banter between the two.

This mod is a work of satire. It intended to be a tongue in cheek and very in line with 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. You can turn off most features that you're not in alignment with.

This is a massive expansion and rework of my original Nether's Eola and Nimph from several years ago and all now fits into a slim extended light mod (espfe). Nearly every part of this mod has been meticulously reworked.

What if I don't care for the Cannibalism angle?

- There is an alternate dialogue included where you can tell Eola when you first meet her that she is mistaken and you aren't a cannibal but will ally yourself with Namira. When you bring Verulus to sacrifice him, you kill him as before but you don't need to feast on him. I feel this is a good compromise while keeping their personality and background intact.

- Keep in mind that Nimph and Eola are still cannibals. However, you can toggle off or reduce the chances of certain cannibalism content is this mod via the MCM menu.

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 Taste of Death quest, can I just have Eola and Nimph?

- For continuity and follow-up quest content, you'll need to do the quest. It takes around 10 minutes an is one of the quickest quests to obtain a capable follower (even under a pure Vanilla aesthetic).

What voices are Eola and Nimph using?

- I generated both voices through trial and error at Elevenlabs until I had a voice suitable for Eola and Nimph's personalities. Both are very expressive and lifelike. Eola is a Breton Spellsword and a sultry styled devoted follower of Namira, sinister and tremendously loyal to you as the Keeper of the Ring. Nimph is a Bosmer Necromancer (as an Ice Mage and Summoner) who is air-headed, bubbly, tries to tempt the Keeper with her looks and is also quite murderous at times. If you like humor in your horror, they play off of each other very well.

Notice:

• Doesn't support mods that specifically add voiced content to Eola since Eola and Nimphaneth are re-voiced.

REQUIREMENTS:

- SKSE64: https://skse.silverlock.org/

- SkyUI for MCM: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12604

- UNP/BHUNP or CBBE/3BA-based body (vanilla body is not supported) that has breast weights (for included wigs)

- XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1988

- BEES if you are under SSE/AE version 1130: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/106441

APPEARANCE:

You should have either Skypatcher or Recast:

SkyPatcher: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/106659

Recast: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/186025

INSTALLATION:

- Fomod Installer.

Follower System:

- You can choose your follower framework: Supports NFF, AFT, EFF or Vanilla (and any frameworks that support Vanilla).

Appearance:

- Appearance you have many options: You can pick either Eola or Nimphaneth or both - they support either SkyPatcher or Recast.

- If you are using an older visual replacer, choose "A 3rd Party Replacer", even if it's just for Eola or just for Nimphaneth. This uses SkyPatcher to transfer the changes on the actor record other than visuals. Then make sure your replacer is under NWS_Eola.esp in your load order. If you have no idea what the visual replacer uses, just choose "A 3rd Party Replacer", it doesn't overwrite any other ini files provided for SkyPatcher.

- If you are using a different replacer for Eola and Nimphaneth that uses SkyPatcher or Recast, just keep all the options unselected.

- If you just want one option, for example, just Nether's Nimphaneth's appearance, just select that one option, above.

For example:

- If someone is using Pandorable's Devoted Dames (Eola) but wants to use Nether's Nimph as well, they'd select: Recast/SkyPatcher for Nimphaneth and select A 3rd Party Replacer plus make sure Pandorable's Devoted Dames is lower in load order. This would require you to have SkyPatcher.

- If they left Nimphaneth unselected from Recast or SkyPatcher, they'd get crusty Vanilla Nimphaneth.

Another example:

- If someone wants to use Bijin Warmaidens (Eola) and Kallilies Nimphaneth, they'd just select A 3rd Party Replacer and make sure both of these esp are below NWS_Eola.esp in load order. This would require you to have SkyPatcher.

Body Appearance:

- You can choose from CBBE/3BA, UNP/BHUNP or your own installed textures. If you pick the latter, the head nifs are pathed to vanilla textures where needed.

Eyes:

- For Eola, you can have both eyes normal (grey) or one eye blind.
