Also does the following:
- Replaces Lydia's default inventory with Fine Clothes and Boots for when she's in your house
- Adds a set of steel armor and greatsword as regular inventory items that can be traded
- Makes Lydia an essential npc so she takes a knee instead of dying
- Makes Lydia more proficient with two-handed weapons
- Sets her level cap to 81 so she'll always be the same level as you

---Lydia's level stuck at the default 50? Here's how to fix it.---

1. Dismiss Lydia from your service.
2. Open console (~) and click on Lydia so she's selected.
3. Type setlevel 1000,0,6,81 and hit enter.
4. Close the console (~) and reopen it. Lydia should still be selected, if not, select her again.
5. Type getlevel to confirm that she's now the same level as you.

---If you're curious what setlevel 1000,0,6,81 does...---
The first number is the NPC's level compared to yours in tenths of a percent (so 1000 * 0.1% = 100%).
The second number is how many levels to add to that (0 for no change or a +/- value to change).
The third number is the minimum level and the fourth number is the maximum level for the NPC.

If you part ways and she goes back home she'll be wearing her default outfit but will still have whatever armor and weapons you've given her in her inventory. When you ask her to follow you, trade with her to get her to equip her gear again.

---CONFLICTS---
If Lydia's face and body color are mismatched or she doesn't appear to have changed at all, you probably have a conflict with another mod. This mod is likely to conflict with other mods which directly edit Lydia in any way, such as Essential Followers or Fixed Followers Light.

If you're having issues, try subscribing to this mod AFTER the other mods or adjusting the load order manually in Data Files from the launcher.
