After a bit more experimentation, it happens even if she doesn't heal. NPC's just don't like when she calls on the spirit of Donblas at the start of the brawl o.o

I'm just leaving her outside of taverns when I expect to brawl for now...

@encapturer I just uploaded v1.5, which includes a fix for "brawls". She shouldn't interfere with brawls anymore; I started a whole new game (I'd finished all the brawl quests in my current), went to Whiterun and picked a brawl-fight with Uthgerd in the Bannered Mare, and Ceri didn't interfere even though she was an active follower.

So just got this mod, looks epic so far but I noticed a couple of things that I haven't seen any comments on. A couple of things first so we are all on the same page, I used BOSS to sort my addon order for me. I started a fresh new game. For starters I downloaded the essential version, so Cerwiden doesn't die. But while in a fight she took a little too much damage and went down to one knee, slowly recovered then got back up as I was swinging my axe over her head. Needless to say, she took the hit rather than the enemy and died, as in permanently died. Second issue I noticed after installation was that all enemy mages won't cast offensive spells at me. They only seem to use defensive, support or healing spells like wards. I stood in front of a mage at melee range while Cyrwiden slowly picked away at him, and he circled round me again and again with his ward up, never attacking with melee or offensive spells. Cerwiden eventually killed him. Lastly, I just downloaded this a few hours ago so I am assuming I got it before you did the brawl update, because when I got into a brawl with Uthgerd, Cerwiden interfered and I got bountied. I will re-download and install this mod to see if anything changes but just in case it doesn't resolve the problem, have you heard about this or have any suggestions? EDIT: Just tested it with a fresh new download, double-checked that I was using Essential and not Protected, interferes with brawl, mages don't cast offensive spells, Cerwiden dies in Essential version =\

@BlueSin I'll need some additional info from you to help troubleshoot; as I posted earlier, I specifically tested a new game with Uthgerd and Ceri didn't heal during my brawl. I'll need to know your exact config settings for Ceri, but I have a few general comments:

• My mod doesn't do anything with NPC enemy mages; if they're not casting properly, you've got a mod conflict going on
• Regarding Ceri's "essential" flag, I set that via the CK's actor base record, so you've got another mod that is OVERRIDING Ceri's setting (most likely a companion framework mod, e.g., no UFO, EFF, BDO, AFT)

By way of example, if you use UFO, and you put Ceri into UFO's "relax mode" and then tell her "Time to go", for some reason, UFO sets Ceri to nonessential. And it's not just Ceri, it's ANY follower you do this for in UFO. This was reported earlier by another Ceri user (see main comment thread). So this isn't a Ceri issue, it's another mod changing my settings for Ceri.

Also, relating to NPC mage "spells", check to see what mods you have that alter NPC available spells. First one that would come to my mind would be ASIS; make sure your patcher is building your ESP properly.

UPDATE: I just read about a Skyrim 1.7 bug that apparently removes the PLAYER (you) from the Player Faction and that may be glitching NPCs attacking YOU (should still attack other NPCs like Ceri, however). Note that I've also read that this bug is inconsistent, and apparently only shows up for some players, and has nothing to do with Ceri. A possible workaround for this issue: Open the console, click on yourself to get the PRID (should be 14) and then do "addtofaction 00000db1 1" without the quotes, hit enter and exit the console.

Hello!

I just installed the mod and talked to Ceri at Riverwood, but when I leave the Inn she does not follow. I already read her book, though not sure if that is required to have her follow. UFO is installed, so I placed her mod just below it. Should her mod load before UFO instead of after?

I am thinking of uninstalling UFO, but I really like the idea of having more than one character following me around.

Any ideas why this might be happening and how to fix it?

[Aelthas]

Nevermind! Found what was happening: for some reason, "Move It, Damn It" was interfering. I loaded Ceri's mode after that one and now the "Follow Me" option appears!

Thanks, anyway!

[Mujuro]

@Aelthas Thanks for letting me know about that. There have been a few posts on the main thread about the exact same issue, and I was never able to reproduce (I don't use the 'Move It, Damn It' mod ). Thanks again!

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.
My character has fallen into bad standing with the College, and now Cerwiden won't speak with me. She doesn't seem associated with the College so I'm not sure if this is intentional.

[Mujuro]

@Booman246 Sorry about the late reply, I've been swamped at work. Which version of Ceri are you running?

[NinjaRabbits]

Hi Mujuro! Excellent mod which I've happily endorsed, but I've run into a problem you might be interested in. I've been using Cerwiden with UFO (lydia is my other follower) and have just bought a horse at Whiterun stables. I've turned on Convenient Horses and have disabled the UFO horse features. I'm having some problems with UFO and CH and was wondering if your mod might be part of the problem. The followers including Cerwiden continually mount and dismount any available horses when I'm on foot and Cerwiden falls into the ground up to her waist when I dismount. I walk off and she follows me like a leglass zomdie and won't remount her horse when I do. Any ideas what the problem might be? Hope we can sort it out as she's an excellent companion and I don't want to lose her.
