I sincerely thank you for the assistance, I shall download the CK from Bethesda once again, the one i was using came from Steam and that might be part of my many problems, I did read somewhere that one could create the follower in the "Oldrim" CK and then proceed to use the optimizer before "resaving" said .Esp in Special Edition.. would that be correct ? as i do have both "Oldrim" and SE on my Gaming Computer It would not be such a bother and I would be able to follow the tutorial I refer to (I do so like Her voice)... would doing so be an idea ???

"It just works"

Thank you for your reply.. The problem is that i DO plan on using textures and models from various mods, I doggedly followed this tutorial, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcHw4sqrrx8&t=22s and was dumbfounded when the tools she uses were NOT available for SE, that is why I ask if one has to DL and create using the "Oldrim" CK ans then do something more to get the follower into SE...

Hello and a very good whatever it is for you.. I have decided, in a fit of absolute madness, to create a Character /Follower and thus have proceded to watch an abundance of films on the youhoo thingy.. I have noticed that what i specifically want to do is almost always, related to CK for Skyrim, not SE but, the original..with external programs made solely for this... so my question is... do i have to download skyrim, once again, the CK that is "married" to this and then proceed ? and if, how the blazes will i then get the Companion/Follower to function, properly, in skyrim SE ?.... Any aid would be greatly appreciated... Toodles...

you might try validating game files in Steam..that should, presumably, do the trick and then, when the splash screen comes up, return your settings to whatever you prefer, the Launcher has a nasty habit of claiming ones graphics card is made by some Cro-Magnon called Uurgh... other wise PM me and i shall provide you with a copy of mine, presuming that is allowed... any Moderators out there, feel free to advice on that...

Hello again.. when i click on your link it directs me to the "Oldrim" page.. mods like these are not known for working seamlessly with special edition, as for Fnis it is only necessary if you have mods that require it, armor, weapons, some animations (jiggly bits) and so on.. not a necessity but, nice to have.. if you have any questions I will gladly help, to the best of my abilities.. just PM me, do have a wonderful what it is where you are... Toodles...

@DaedricBard Looking at it in that perspective i rather understand it, though the references to a VERY dead person as alive and ranting IS a bit annoying .. But, when you look at it as a the bitterness of defeat and general animosity against the victor. I get it, In Europe Grudges go Centuries back due to past slights, Wars, Occupations and soforth, the Danes despise the Swedes, well, everybody does, the Belgians hate the Germans, the Dutch mocks the Belgians AND hate the Germans, the French despise the Germans, mocks the Belgians and utterly detest the British, the British despise everybody and the Germans are just being Germans..meaning, obnoxious louts... so it seems natural, in that context, that the Nords are a bit miffed with everybody..maybe one should write a mod uniting the empires different inhabitants against the ruddy Thalmor, with pitchforks , torches and general mayhem culminating in the devastation of the Sumerset Isles.. now, there´s a thought... Toodles

Hmmm.. I use the mod i linked and have no problem with it, I use the same presets in bodyslide as i do to all the different armors and clothing mods ( 5 different presets to be exact, thereby creating a semblance of variety).. and unless some "sections" are VERY large I have no problems with clipping and/or Physics... mind you, I always play off-line and only let the game "Update" (a fancy name for changing the ads) when i´m positively FORCED to open steam...I highly recommend doing so, it does save one an abundance of grief...

At the risk of sounding completely foolish.. are you trying to install an "Oldrim" mod into SE ? if so you would have to unzip the 7z file and manually transfer the files to your data folder, then activate said mod in yout mod-manager.. sadly there are no guarantees that the mod will actually work in SE, incompatabilities and so forth.. Secondly, when you have SKSE installed, never, ever, press play on the Beth start menu.. click on the SKSE launcher, when the splash screen (options, play, exit) comes up, press EXIT, and then proceed to click on the SKSE launcher again.. that will make your game recognize SKSE and everything should be as dandy as the Gods and Todd allows... Thirdly.. run loot and Fnis (if you have it) everytime you install or delete a mod.. for your own sanitys sake I apologize profoundly if this came out condescending or otherwise nauseating but, the answers pertain to the questions i surmised in your post... Toodles

As for the "Frost witch".. try this one out for size.. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2314 it should work for you, providing you have CBBE, the LL mods i have no experience with, apart from some armors, and ENB is not something i use.. I will say that recreating a mod authors personal model can be more than a tad difficult, I would suggest downloading a preset or two and fiddle, diddle and quazwiddle with that until you get the result you want.. this might sound condescending but, I assure you it is not the intention, many "links" on mod pages can lead you to the LE pages and if you are not careful you will have conflicts and even crashes because of the incompatabilities.. The best advice I can give you is, if you find that a mod has multiple requirements that you DO NOT plan to use for anything other than said mod.. move along and find something that will better suit your load order and play-style, getting bloated with several mods in order to get that ONE mod working is simply not worth it.. feel free to PM me if you have qustions you think i might have an answer to.. if I have no idea I might be able to point you to someone who has... Toodles

Apart from NOT mounting the creature whe it appears you must resolve to the Console i´m afraid, just open console, click on the damn beast, write disable and whooosh (well, no but..you get the idea) the damnable thing is gone...

Is it active in your modmanager ? and did you run Fnis for Users in your Data /tools ?.. other than that I can only suggest to unzip it and copying the files to your skyrim data folder...

Yes, it does seem like the developers never imagined anyone taking care of that little squabble BEFORE dealing with that obnoxious flying Lizard, and the idea that one would, actually, see both the Lizard and the Revolting peasants as nothing more than a sideshow never crossed their minds...oh, well, with the abundane of add-ons generously provided by the Modding community one can slip away on holidays in Eylswhere, Cyrodil and other charming places whilst awaiting the population of skyrim coming to terms with the idea that all is well.. excepting the ruddy Thalmor being a complete nuisance.... Toodles

I don´t really care for USSEP, I only have it due to some mods I use demanding it, it tends to foul up other things while correcting small issues but, that being said, It should be on the list mainly, due to the fact of other mod dependancy...

Ignoring her is the mod-free solution, I tend to ignore the children of skyrim completely as i Ignore Nazeem and other beggars, jesters, Bard, jugglers, mimes and Hold Guards, if they get too annoying i just wave the magic staff of "Consoling" and whooops "" they´re gone, never to be seen again.. If her parents can´t control the little brat, why should I try ?...

What Anjen is saying is absolutely correct, i did not realize you had the console open when starting a new game.. that is a no-no... and starting the game from the SKSE shortcut is absolutely the best way..

whatever you choose , do consider TPOS2 it adds layers upon layers to the game and JK´s Skyrim AIO works great with it, Palaces and Castles enhanced and the new Solitude Enhanced are wonderful too.. and ofcourse 3dNPC... Toodles...

Sorry but, when you reach the main menu do you "press play" ? if so that´s where the problem might be, this might sound wrong but, when you are there press exit and then click on the SKSE loader ..If you are already doing that I apologize, but starting out I did have the same problem as you and only with the help of more experienced players did i discover that step...

You´re welcome, one must always help a fellow gamer in need...

I would suggest one.. DO NOT click on either "mods" or "CC" You have absolutely NO NEED for a Bethesda account unless you want to download the Creation Kit.. TWO.. Do download Vortex from the Nexus, and then run amock with the mods you desire, I would suggest downloading SKSE and of course Fores new Idles.. and for the love of all the Gods set your steam account to "Offline" to avoid sudden "updates" making your game unplayable.. and read the descriptions and requirements on any and all mods that tickle your fancy.. I prefer to read the "Bugs" section as well, to make sure I don´t download something that WILL crash your game in conjunction with other mods..and THREE... never, ever hesitate to ask others for advice remember, there are no stupid questions only, stupid answers..finally, have fun.. there´s no ONE way of modding your game, it´s yours and you decide what you want... Have fun and welcome to the PC Master race.. we are always open ;-) Toodles...

Ahem... as a Starting point get CBBE, Bodyslide, outfit studio and of course Fores new idles, xpmsse plus CPB for the "jiggly" bits, then i would suggest either MetalSabers mods or the ever popular Bijins, concerning armor and clothing ? that would be a matter of taste, do have a good look around and, remember, ALWAYS read the full descriptions and requirements on any mod, ANY.. there are an abundance of mods that improve the rather lacklustre effort of Bethesda when it comes to appearances, spend some time looking around, make a list of the things you want and go for it... do have e wonderful time andremember, it´s always trial and error when you mod your game, ... Toodles....

Frightfully sorry old bean but, it seems i´m all out of advice, there might be something wrong with your installation or some mismatch between mods... I do so hope you find a solution. toodles..

Open Xedit, open mod in question, change stats to those of the armor where the stats are as you prefer, close and save Xedit, open game, Voila!!! (see, I can be brief, to the point and use simple sentences, if you´ll all excuse me inneed a bath to wash this "simplicity" out..toodles)

3dNpc is very Script- heavy old bean.. that might give you some prolonged loading times, in conjunction with other script heavy mods it can get a bit irksome, Iwould suggest using a loadscreen replacer, that way you might have something mildly pleasing to look at whilst waiting...

Hello and a very fine whatever to you... Your problems does seem quite similar to what my humble self have experienced, there is a solution though, do try to download "Archery Gameplay Overhaul" this little beauty gives you the possibility to twiddle, didde and fidlle to your hearts delight with the aim.. I highly recommend it.. Toodles..
