About This Mod
Watch the video below, folks as it details some of the most major parts of this mod
While the video does cover the most major parts of the mod there is further explanation needed. I fully realize this description is quite long but you should read it fully.
ATTENTION
This mod REQUIRES a new game. It IS NOT, and I cannot stress this highly enough, is not safe to install this mod mid-playthrough. Installed mid through it will CTD it will CTD your game even if you have the prior version of housecarls N Hussies installed. You cannot update from that version to this version safely. I really can't stress the importance of this highly enough.
You have been warned.
What this mod does:
The main purpose of this mod is a replacer for every Player Housecarl & assorted NPCs who are able to be Followers. All Male Housecarls, including the ones provided by Hearthfires, have been replaced with Female Versions. All Housecarls are now marked as Essential. All Housecarls also now have a long list of Perks which will allow them to use any kind of armor or weapon and Perks which increase their damage output. Stats have been increased to a base of 500. All housecarls now have their own default outfit (clothes) and their own custom armor which they will change into when you recruit them. These can not be taken or changed.
In some cases, as such with Rayya, the replacement is remarkably profound.
The extra followers (aka the Hussies) all have increased Stats & Perks. Most have custom Armor & Weapons as well. These Hussies include Aela, Ria, Njada Stonearm, Uthgerd, Janessa, Eola, Frea and Mjoll. Some are still able to be killed such as Eola who can be killed during the Quest in Markarth.
This mod contains the last updated version of my Mighty Fixes and Tweaks mod, and as such requires that it come dead last in your Load order. Forever. There is no but I can put this after it and it will work. It will not, because of the things that it does. Most notably, ALL Misc objects in game have had the DefaultDisableHavocLoad Script applied to them. As such these objects will not move when loading into a cell. No more exploding wooden plates and tankards like you see in Alvor's house sometimes when first entering. Some of the objects such as the Glazed jugs, plates and cups maybe able to be knocked around if stuck with a weapon, however when loading into a cell they will not move. My goal was to try to cut back on save bloat and while I could have completely frozen these objects in the Player Homes, the sheer amount of work this would require to implement worldwide made the idea unfeasible.
This mod also has various fixes included such as adding fire pots to the Breezehome bedroom so you don't freeze to death while using Frostfall.
The Nightingale Quest fix in Nightingale Hall which solved a problem with Karliah not opening the gate is also implemented as is the addition of the3 Boss Chest to the one Dragon Word Wall that did not have one. Vendor gold has been increased quite a lot so you will not need mods such as Rich Vendors anymore. Cell Respawn time is cut down dramatically. Yes you cleared Robber's Gorge on the way to Solitude, but depending on how many days you are in Solitude (more than 2) you will find that the Bandits have all returned and you will have to fight them again. It makes Skyrim much more challenging and less boring since you have to travel over the same ground so many times.
The Horse Camera Tweak was also retained (see video)
Difficulty Versions:
(this section is covered in the video)
The mod comes with 3 difficulty options.
The Core version (required) disables the use of Magic for most NPCs (notably Bandit Mages, Warlocks, Witches and Dragurs.
HARD version re-enables Magic use and adds many perks to Bandits. Bandits will now block your attacks much more often and their own attacks will cause significantly more damage to you.
The Ultra Version is NOT for your average Milk Drinker. It is far too difficult for them. All of the previous changes made in the Hard version are carried forward but now the Bandits have greatly increased health pools which get much larger as you get to the higher levels. Got that one sword you improved to Legendary with 450 DMG? A level 6 Bandit Boss will laugh at your puny attempts make you cry for your mother, Milk Drinker.
Compatibility:
This mod is compatible with Skyrim AE version 1.6xx
This mod uses my Divine 9 Skin as a replacer for all the females which are changed in this mod. Aela and Lydia specifically have custom skins which if you give them other armor from another mod they will lose their tattoos. This can not be helped. Also if you change their armors you may notice a texture mis-match between body and head if you are using a different skin mod. This also cannot be helped but it can be fixed by installing my Divine 9 Skin.
Bodyslide files are provided in both CBBE and 3BA version and I think I got most of them. If I missed some let me know via Discord ( The Ninedalorian#9485 )
This mod IS NOT compatible with any other Character Replacers such as Serana Replacers.
This mod also includes craftable Custom Armor and Weapons
In the Forge, using SkyUI (and I don't know why you wouldn't) type Ninedalore into the Search Filter. (See images)
Bodyslide files are provided for these as well and are marked as "Player"
This mod is an ESPFE and is Frostfall Compatible out of the box
I believe that covers about everything.
Remember guys this mod is Load order important (see video)

I will not be making patches for mods which this mod may or may not be compatible with. I'll leave to other more skilled mod authors than me.
