Hello Friends!
I have been working very hard on something that is going to blow you all away. You have already seen Foundation Faces. Let me introduce you to Foundation Follower Builder.
We are hours away from the release of this application. It is a Windows application that allows you to create followers using my Foundation of 301 faces. Yes, I said 301, not 260. A new version of Foundation will accompany the release of Foundation Follower Builder that has another 40 something faces, including the popular BBLS faces.
Release of the follower builder will be kind of special, but you will see the first information here. So, do you want to know more about what it does? Well, read on my friends.
Like Foundation Faces, you select the face you wish to use to build your follower.
Now you name your follower, choose her voice from one of the vanilla Skyrim voices, or a list of voices from Simply Open Source Voice Pack if you have that installed. This gives you a nice bunch of new voices to use on followers.
You can even choose to make the follower a vampire and all the appropriate settings are put in place for her to be a drinker of bluuuuudd.
You can then select from a list of 10 different classes that I built specially for you to save you time. Each one is designed to be effective in their role.
Now its time to choose your perks. You will already have most of them setup based on the class you chose in step 4 above. You can change those if you like! Also, there are 41 custom perks included that are quite fun. Enjoy them!
After you lock in your perks, its time to check out the spells. Like perks, the spells are already selected based on the class you chose in step 4. That said, you have the power to change the spells to anything you like. Keep in mind that some spells just don't work well on followers. There are limitations. The application will detect if you have NPC Spell Variance installed and if so you will be able to use a lot more spells, including those pesky runes that blow up on the ground. BUT THERE'S MORE. You can also choose to use custom spells. The application will scan your mod list for spell mods. You then just add the spells from each mod you want and they will appear on the spells screen as available spells. I told you - nothing like this has ever been made before.
After your spells are locked in you are taken to the finalize screen. Here you can look over everything you picked during the build process. You can go back to change things if you like, or if you are happy you just choose to Generate the follower. It will take 2-3 seconds and you will have built your own follower without using the Creation Kit or SSEEDIT. It will create a zip file in the folder you designated and you just install it with your mod manager and it is done.
Who loves you guys?! ME. This is my present to the entire Skyrim community. That said, I'm not done. More followers with custom voices are coming. More cool and helpful apps. The only thing I ask in return is folks consider signing up for my Patreon or donating. Right now I see a trend going down in my subscribers. I can't afford that trend, so, if you want to support me - this is the time. I'm not just saying this. If I don't start doing better I will have to start doing something else. I don't want to do that because I love making these things for you, and I'm only getting better at doing it.
Have a wonderful day, and keep your eyes peeled here for the release of Foundation Follower. Seriously - it will be very soon.
