Leave Well Enough Alone

[Adipose]

LOL! I like to run several followers in the field. Usually from four to six. Since I don't like the essential sameness of follower packs, that means loading several unique mods. As most of us do, that's complicated by the fact that I've definite preferences as to the look of my followers. That means spending quite a bit of time tinkering around with various skin mods until they all approximate a certain look...at least as far as their unique characteristics will permit. Sooner or later I reach a point where it's time to leave well enough alone. FREX, my current new game group has one with a very light neck ring and a much more plastic face than I like. However, she's got the gear and combat characteristics that I want so she can stay. She may be sent back to bit land later on if I find one with a better look and the same game utility. Another has a noticeable case of bronze shine. Can't get rid of it and I really like having her around so she can stay. The point here is that one can spend hours tinkering but the Law of Unintended Consequences forces one to eventually quit. As an example, in the process of striving for the look I like I downloaded a skin mod which produced exactly the skin characteristics I was striving for...except for the fact that my ladies then had no nipples. After rofling for a while I deactivated then reactivated the mod, intending to deal with each change factor with a yea or nay. Part way through the process I realized that the time consumption factor was becoming horrendous, and since I had another mod on hand which was almost as useful without the negative side effects I just gave up and deleted the no nipple mod. Maybe others of you could have handled this much more successfully, I dunno. Thing is, at some point ya just gotta leave well enough alone and get on with the game.

 

Now, for those of you that might ask me why I bothered to post this, let's just say that I wanted to vent a bit. For those of you that are gonna sneer, stick it in ur ear! Either be polite or don't reply.
