Khajiit Lydia

Description
Hello all Skyrim players

I wanted Khajiit companion, but there wasn't much where to choose, so I changed Lydia
to Khajiit accompany on Skyrim adventures.

Whole Khajiiting was just random idea that turned to modification, which I made mostly
for my personal idea to see Skyrim from another point of view with Khajiit follower,
then I realized that others could enjoy it too.

Lydia is immortal (essential) to avoid genius ai's just feeding them themselves to dragons
and other nasty things, lesson learned. Max Level is changed from 50 to 81.


But Why?

I chose Lydia because she wont attack even if you take werewolf form and use howl which
normally makes every follower attack you, including those "fearless Companions", who
shouldn't attack their own kin.

Some settings are changed for Khajiit form, but most important things are left original.
Voice is same, there aren’t enought audio files for creating full voiced khajiit follower.


!Important!

Before starting installation please make "clean save" so you can return to it if you only
want to test mod.


Installation & requirement

Click Subscribe to start downloading. When its done start Skyrim launcher and let it check
possible subscripted mod(s) updates, then enjoy.
Using Skyrim main launcher is only required when adding new mod(s) or to check out
update(s) after check you can freely use other 3rd party programs to launch skyrim quicker.

Version: Skyrim.esm 1.8.151.0 or higher.
You don't have to start new game or you can go for it if you feel so, it's up to you.

Uninstalling
Its not recommended to remove esp/bsa based mod mid playthru since data of these files
are saved on your save files. Only way to remove such mod is to have that "clean save" to
return on uninstalling.

Unsubsribe and delete Khajiit Lydia.esp and .bsa from your skyrim data folder
(install drive)/steam/steamapps/common/skyrim/data
(might inlcude Khajiit Lydia.ckm and .bsl, if so delete them too)


Notice

It is possible that this modification conflicts with other mods for Lydia, if there is any
trouble please let me know. Some times odd bugs happen because of load order,
if so make few adjustments to it and try if problem is gone.

Main three images are taken without mods altering colors/hue/saturation, although
skyrim's expansions may effect on their particullar ways.


Bug
some times Lydias face stucks to combat expression, this can be fixed easy just by
speaking to her and engine fixes it, which fault bug anyway is.


Thank-you for your time
Have fun

this is perfect because i have a multi game universe character who's companion is always named lydia, but in this characters origin game(FATE), lydia was a cat. now i can bring my character to skyrim with this mod.

@Pony Head Color I haven't seen crashes with mods that alter characters and/or their behaviours so far. But its always safer to use LOOT to check compability when using dozens if not hundreds of mods.

id like to hear if there have been any issues with crashes. Plus nice job on screenshots! I have not seen many mods on here that have screen shots

Many thanks :)

@Chewie'smate mod uses original audiopack which does have its low moments like carrying burdens one, but it happens less with unofficial patch(es).
Background story is up for player to decide how things have become to what they are.

Ha ha, funny ! just remembered Khajiit not allowed in cities, Jarl disobeying own rules, I guess since she is Housecarl, given by Jarl, he can give whomever he choose, like having his is different.
Have you created her a background ? or is that for us ?
Thank you again, most hugely.

yay had given up on boring followers ! All the same and others die. Now I can has proper follower who is wonder Kajiit. - does she still complain ??
Also like idea of 'sina_jax' about Khajiit Marcurio from Riften :)

Thank you so much for generous share
