About this mod Machine translation
Nord independent followers and preset Racemenu for your character.
Arik may look like a brave warrior, and he is, but Arik is a kind, helpful guy who can accompany you on long journeys and is always ready with a smile. He will never leave your side unless you ask Him. Nothing to bring this guy down! Because of his cheerful personality, his friends called him the Ark of Lightness. He may have struggled in the streets of Riften, but he chose his own path as a mercenary rather than fall prey to the Thieves' Guild. However, he was known to commit some petty theft from time to time. Now, he hangs out with his old friend Ulfberth War-Bear at Warmaiden's in Whiterun.

Skin Notes: You should be able to use any skin texture you want. However, I tried using tempered skin in SOS and his neck seams. I've tried a few things but it won't go away. I seem to have better luck with my Vitruvian skin. I used this and placed it behind the Male Face Texture which seemed to eliminate the neck seam. I'm sure others have more experience with this kind of thing, this is my first standalone follower. Now, it is what it is.

I tested him last night and he seemed to be doing pretty well. If you have a question I will do my best.
Thanks and hope you share your pictures!
"Hey, baby!"

Arik may look like a tough warrior, and he is, but Arik is a good-natured, all around pleasant person to keep you company on your long travels, and always ready with a smile. He will never leave your side unless you ask him. Nothing brings this guy down! His friends call him Ark the Light-Hearted due to his pleasant disposition. He may have struggled growing up in the mean-streets of Riften, but he chose his own path to become a mercenary instead of falling prey to the Thieve's Guild. Though, he's been known to commit a bit of thievery from time to time. Now he hangs out with his long-time pal Ulfberth War-Bear at Warmaiden's in Whiterun.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
