#Creating a follower skyrim creation kit mod

I cant seem to understand what went wrong and how did i end up with a completely different duplicate. My goal is to customize one of the game's vanilla mage followers to act as a healer in an adventuring group staring Yours Truly, Vilja and maybe an archer. The original Ani now had a count 0 and users 0. I've had a lot of fun following the creation kit tutorials out there for creating a custom NPC-follower - or (what I'm interested in): customizing a vanilla follower.

This will create your own mod (empty), give it a name like: Sunsakuka.esp. 2) Click on the Data button (or menu, it is the same) 3) Check just Skyrim and click OK.

Then I went back to CK again, and saw a new editor ID called AniDUPLICATE003. The first step is to actually create your own mod. I clicked on this new Ani2 and it came from Ani.esp. In the CK create the NPC as usual (you can follow this tutorial Adding a Follower NPC to Skyrim but don't spend too much time worring about his face as it will be overwritten by the face you have already created Just create the NPC with the same weight your character has, and give him the hair and eye textures you want. Went back to the game, and to my surprise Ani was replaced by Ani2, Same equipment as Ani, same place but apperance of Ani2 and the original Ani was nowhere to be found. But this time, I picked 2 follower Ani and Ani2 which look almost the same and I set Ani.esp as active and changed her and Ani2s skin color.

I often update them myself by changing their equipment, hair, skin, eyes etc etc. The Creation Kit or CK (known in previous TES games as the Construction Set or CS) is a tool that can be used to view and edit the games data files.The tool was released on 7 February 2012, along with the High Resolution Texture Pack.The Creation Kit is an external program that is run separately from the game of Skyrim.The Creation Kit is available for download through Steam and its current. I have little to no experience on CK but I managed to make some custom followers a long time ago.
