DIY Custom Standalone Companion - SSE

My custom framework can be used to create your own companions. Tutorials are provided to set up the basics, and more tutorials for what to implement will be added.

This is a port of my framework. I just copy-pasted the description. For SSE it's pretty much the same thing.

introduce:

Hello, this file contains a template for a standalone custom companion ad.

You can follow the tutorial video I uploaded to create your own custom (voiced) companions, they are self-contained and will not cause incompatibility issues with other mods. It's okay if you are a beginner or know how things work. However, the video is more for newer people so just have a cup of tea while checking it out.

Best of all: no scripting required!

Disclaimer: You will be able to make it yourself and upload it, but if someone else will also use it and upload it, and some users for example want to use them at the same time, there will be compatibility issues since the script and plugin will have the same name.

So for now, keep this in mind. I'll show you a video at the end on how to fix this problem and how to prevent this from happening.

The only thing that needs to be done is: rename the .esp and rename the script. Of course, what follows is renaming the plugin called folders.

This will be covered in a video in the near future.

Current features:

trading

shop

follow

wait

preference

dismiss

Future features:

trainer

Set as homepage

information:

The main "series" of basic functionality has been documented, however, and will be faster. Remember, these videos are not difficult. I'd be happy to provide you with information on how to create content.

Those things I mentioned; I know how to make these so no problem at all.

But if you have suggestions, just post them in the comments and I'll check them out and let you know if it can be done.

Here is a video of the main steps so far.

Video tutorial:

Part 1 - Setting things up

Part 2 - Actor SetUp

Part 3 - Fighting Styles and Classes

Part 4 - Conversation

Part 5 - Adding Dialog Lines

Part 6 - Placing NPCs and Completion

----------------

Part 7 - Tracking Markers

Part 8 - Rejection Marks

Part 9 - Archive Companions

----------------

Part 10 - Summon Companion Spell

Notice:

The provided videos are very identical for Oldrim and SSE, except for slightly different script paths.

Instead of Data->Scripts->Source for .psc file, instead of Data->Source->Scripts->Source.

important:

This will help create 1 companion. If you want to create another one, you may need to rename it since the script has the same name. We'll make future videos once we have all the content we need and just need a companion.

Install:

Use NMM or install manually.

Put it all in your Skyrim folder. The folder structure is all built.

This time DialogueViews are included and the empty folders are deleted.

About licensing etc:

If you want, you can create your own companion and upload it here. Just trust me and don't upload this file anywhere else. I just wish this was on .com.

Beyond that, there's nothing more. have fun!

Introduction:

Hello, this file here contains a template of a standalone custom companion.

You can follow the tutorial videos I've uploaded to create your very own custom (voiced) companion who is standalone who won't be causing incompatibility issues with other mods. Doesn't matter if you're a beginner or know how things work. However, the videos are aimed more towards people who are newer, so just drink a cup of tea while checking through them.

Best of all: No scripting required!

Disclaimer: You will be able to make your own companion and upload it but if someone else will also use this and upload it and some user for example wants to use both of them, there will be compatibility issues since the scripts and the plugin will have the same name.
