Emma

In response to post #23722224. She'll pick the items she wear 1) after what will protect her best and 2) the one that has the highest clothing value. So if she wears the skirt but not the blouse, it probably means that she has a better blouse in her inventory. Remove what she is wearing, and she'll wear something else, hopefully the Mara Blouse. She'll prefer light armor to heavy armor as her light armor skill is higher (offers better protection). If she has vanilla healing potions in her inventory, she will use them during battle, without that you notice. But at least at the time when we - Grumpy and I - made her, there was no way to make her recognize potions that the player had made. I'm glad that you like her :). I think at the time when she was made, she was kind of a "new generation" of companion mods. But, today I am sure she must have been surpassed by many other companions for Morrowind. Grumpy died shortly after the release of Constance. I then made the decision not to continue on her; I wanted her to remain the same mod as he and I made together. :)

In response to post #7491905. No... Grumpy and I decided she wouldn't be romanceable. And, just think of it... considering her personality, how would it work if you were romancing her? Would she pickpocket you when you were trying to kiss her? She's just not that kind of a girl :).

Steinbeck, here is a picture of Skyrim Vilja in case you'd like to see what she looks like: http://lovkullen.net/Emma/Skyrim/ScreenShot120_cr.jpg

Teehee... I search almost every day on "Emma" and "Vilja". :blush: So you basically only have to shout for me... :D Now, on the other hand, I am crap at having WIP-threads and such... When I'm modding, I spend the time in the ck rather than on forums, and I've never been much of a forum-poster apart from supporting my mods.

Oh, she will most definitely appear here shortly, with a long storyline, too. Just have to iron out the snags we have ran into, as it's no point of uuploading something that is flawed. It's not the same Vilja - it's her great-great-grand-daughter, and she has her very own hopes, thoughts and reasons to be in Skyrim. However, if you *want* her to be the same Vilja as before, you can have that, too... it's an option you can choose shortly after her story has started. It will affect her dialog and her background-story, and some other aspects, too...

Update on Vilja... It will probably take another week, we have ran into some technical things we need to straighten out first. But she is very much on the way and should soon arrive in Skyrim.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Emma hello and what an amazing girl you have created. I did have her installed + some other small mods and the alternative start on Wednesday Everything going wonderfully. Then I told my grandson I would put 'Oblivion' on his PC. Coming home after shopping I found he had tried to take 'MY' game off my Pc and completely ruined it. So, I un-installed Oblivion +all the mods and OBMM. I tried to do it all over again as before but I'm getting the problems you see.I have no idea what to do next. I have now started and restarted the game several times now since Wednesday afternoon ,trying different approaches to the problems. I am on a Win 7 Laptop but it hasn't been a problem before. It is a patched version as you said. to 1.2.1.4 I think it is. By the way I kept hearing Vilja(who I have fallen in love with) telling me,( I thought,) that she came from Soltau which is not far from where I lived up to last September . Lived there almost 6 years in Bad Fallingbostel which is 1 hours drive from Hannover north. Thanks for your input and hope we chat again Don ps I have uninstalled it all again and will try tomorrow. I also can't get the new start to activate + one or two othewrs which are straightforward esp.s Hi Don, I read in another post in another thread that you got Vilja working again, so I take it the trouble-shooting is over? Glad to her that you enjoy her so much. And I find it quite amazing tha grandfather and grandson are sharing their Oblivion-material :). The place Vilja comes from is Solstheim, which is a part of Vvardenfell, where also Morrowind (with the city of Vivec) belongs. But I agree that it sounds a bit like Soltau :). Btw, there is a help- and supportthread for Vilja here - it's probably the place where you fastest get response to questions about Vilja. :)

Hi Steinbeck, A couple of questions regarding your problem. When I read the first post, I get the impression that you have met Vilja in the Bloated Float but that you cannot talk to her. But when I read later posts I get the impression that she isn't there at all. If she isn't there at all: have you ensured that you have patched your Oblivion to the latest version? Else, mods that like Vilja have been done with the latest patch won't show up. If she is there but do not have normal dialogue: Are you using the Companion Share and Recruit add-on Faction Recruitments? That mod will affect Vilja as well as several other custom companions badly, as they will "adopt" the dialog from Faction Recruitments. There is however a solution for this - download this patch by Amgepo and everything should work just fine. Btw, does her quest start? You should get a message about a girl in the Bloated Float a little while after you have left the sewers, or latest when you arrive at Waterfront. If her quest for some reason hasn't started (I can't imagine what the reason would be, though, as it should always start before you enter the Bloated Float) she won't have the correct dialog.

Thank you :)

Vilja in Skyrim and Vilja and Ceri roaming Skyrim. No, the project isn't dead at all, the release is scheduled to the end of this month (although I've started to think that around October 7 might be more likely). The only reason that there hasn't been much talk of her is that I'm too busy working on her to spend that much time in forums. But, I promise, she is being sea-sick on the ship to Skyrim right now, and in the luggage she has four questlines that should keep you busy for quite some time, more than 4000 voice entries, extensive backgroundstory, lots of bonus-npcs and interaction with some of the vanilla-followers included. And a few surprises, of course, that I won't mention just yet ;). I do hope that we can get together and add interaction between our companions, all of us. I would love to see that happen, in Oblivion it was only Companion Fergus that really interacted with Vilja. :) P S I promise that as soon as I get a chance I will try out Atvir a little better. I've simply been so busy working on Vilja that all my time has went into that rather than playing. It was only last week that I tried out Ceri, too.

Well, of course you shouldn't update from a quicksave where Vilja is standing next to you. Quicksaves aren't good, btw... use regular saves instead, quicksaves are bound to sooner or later corrupt your game, especially if you are quicksaving with mor than one PC-character. You can try to make a new save where you are apart from Vilja. Else, simply uninstall the previous version the way Striker suggest in his first post. You should be able to get back to approx the stage you are at by simply casting the start-combat-spell on Heneri. The You and I topic should be inside the "Let's just talk for a while" topic. If it isn't there I take it you are using a very old version of Vilja, as I beleive the "You and I"topic has been there since ver 3.0.

I wonder, when you say you have no option to play games and no options for romance, are you positive this is the case? You won't have anything romance-related showing up ingame unless you go to her options book (which is in the skills report menu) and check the romance option. The "Play a game" topic is inside the "You and I"- topic. It is only during very special occasions you should need to uninstall/reinstall Vilja in order to upgrade. Normally, upgrading just means replacing the esp and the bsa. That is why I ask if you are absolutely posiitve the upgrade didn't work. If you indeed have to uninstall/reinstall, it's exactly like Striker explains; you can get back to approx where you were before the reinstall by talking to Heneri in Cheydinhal.

If you are new to using mods, there is one thing you should be aware of with White Wolf of Lokken. You should use EITHER the esm-file OR the esp-file. Never, ever, both of them, as you will then have every npc doubled. If you are intending to keep the Lokken area, your best choice is to use the esm version. Also, if you want to play any of the add-ons (Like Lokken Children) you should use the esm-version. Only if you are in doubt of that you want to keep Lokken in your game, it might be an advantage to use the esp-version. Hope this helps, and hope you'll enjoy the mod :) -Emma

Extract the two 7zip-files - one for the bsa and one for the current esp-version (4.04). Drop the content - i.e. the bsa and the esp - in your Oblivion/Data folder. Play the game and enjoy :). That is all. No need to complicate it with convertions. EDIT: In case you have further questions, there is a very active help-thread for Vilja .

Emma!! :facepalm: I don't think that's your connection, I think it's your computer. Or, dare I say it, that god awful browser you're using...! I'll look in to fast-tracking an option in the preferences to turn off the background image. :blush: Dark0ne, you need to add a give-icecream smiley or something, so that we have something more than the thumbsup to use when we want to show how much we appreciate your efforts. :) Thank you for listening, and I'm sorry for being such a PITA, but I'm thinking that if I have a problem, others might have the same problem, and therefore I mention it. I don't think it's my Dell XPS M1730 causing the problems, it's more likely my awf.... uhm... browser, but apparently (according to the comments) there are several of us that are depending on this browser for working/school reasons.
