Happy Little Trees - A Bob Ross follower mod.

~Description~
Hello, I'm so glad you could join us today. Today we're going to be present my first custom follower, Bob Ross. Bob is fully voiced with soundclips from episodes of The Joy of Painting, and the number of custom comments will grow in each version. First off, though, I'd like to introduce one of my little friends, Bob's custom summon, a lore-friendly creature not seen since Oblivion: Painted Trolls.

There's a spell tome somewhere that will teach this spell to you, but it's location is just going to be our little secret.

Bob resides in the Eldergleam Sanctuary, and this mod should be compatible with just about anything else you'd like to use.

Now, some folks like to use Extensible Followers Framework, but in order to get Bob to work with it, you'll have to use the EFF Mind Control spell. To get this, just press the ~ key to bring up your little console, and type player.addspell xx01C81A, where xx is the load order of XFLMain.esm. Just use that spell on Bob, or any NPC you like, and you'll have them in the EFF Framework, just like that.

Bob has stats equivalent to Teldryn Sero, except Bob focuses on ice magic rather than fire.

Well, that's all the time we have today, and I'd like to wish you happy modding, and God bless.

~Author's Note & Permissions~
Dropping the Bob Ross-style of writing, a funny thing happened as I was working on this mod. The inspiration for this mod was seeing the Hepsy Hair Afro in the hot files. I immediately thought of Bob Ross. I had originally envisioned splicing together sound clips to portray him as a blood-gargling psychopath, because I thought that would be funny. However, as I was collecting voice clips from YouTube videos and MP3s, I had a change of heart. Bob Ross was a gentle soul who just wanted to tell everyone that not only is painting totally awesome, he wanted to tell everyone that they could do it to. To portray him as a murderous monster would've been disrespectful and in very poor taste. I deleted all the crazy Bob soundclips I had spliced together and started again. I've tried to portray Bob as he was, to the best of my ability, to "have fun with" rather than to "make fun of." This mod is a tribute, not a parody. To anyone who would say that I should have gone with my original Psycho Bob idea, let me simply answer "no", because a proper response to that would violate the Steam Terms of Service.
Therefore, I give permission to use the assets I created, namely the voice clips (for instance, to make a Fallout: New Vegas or Oblivion version of Bob), only if whatever you use them for shows the same respect for Bob's memory as I have tried to show here.
