Amber
A voiced Imperial thief with her own quest, made for every one of my mods.

BETA for paid members. She has a lot of OStim scenes and I want her tested by you before she goes out to everyone. A small part of her lines (replies other followers say back to her) are still being voiced and come in the next update. Tell me what breaks: screenshots and your Papyrus log help the most.
Amber grew up in a stone house below Castle Dour in Solitude. Her father works the docks there, and she was never hungry: she stole because she loved the rush. She was caught taking brandy from the company he works for, and he told her not to come home. Now she lifts what she likes in Whiterun. She is sweet and innocent one moment and filthy the next, she prays to Dibella, and she only steals from people who won't miss it. She wears her mother's amber pendant every day.

- Over 3,500 lines, with 3,300 voiced now. The rest are voiced in the next update.
- Say "Let's talk." and it's a real conversation: ask about her life, her work, the two of you, a thief's lessons or romance, and every answer leads to your next question. When you're done, "Let's talk about something else."
- Ask her opinion on the people you meet, the gods, the Jarls, the war, the Thalmor and the guilds.
- Orders: follow, wait, trade and go home, all in her own voice.
- "I need you to do something.": point her at something to use, open or take, like any follower.
- In Warband and Estates of Skyrim she says their lines in her own voice: in the band, and when you hire her at an estate.

She notices things- What you do: picking locks, murder, spells, drink and food, crafting, reading, killing a dragon.
- Where you are: every hold, the cities and towns, inns, estates, and every kind of dungeon, camp and ruin. She greets you differently depending on where you are and when.
- The world around you: weather, the season and the month, the stars, animals nearby, and the quests you're on.
- Combat: lines for the fight and for when it's over.
- Walk into Belethor's General Goods in Whiterun and catch her with her hand on one of his rings. She plays innocent and flirts so you won't tell.
- Grab the ring and run with her, and she joins you outside.
- Tell Belethor, and she ends up in a cell under Dragonsreach until you pay her fine.
- Or tell her she has to be punished, and take her somewhere nobody's watching. With OStim Standalone installed it plays as an OStim scene; without it, the scene fades to black.
- Her own follower system. She never takes the game's follower slot, so she travels next to your other followers.
- She picks pockets for you: in cities, towns and inns she now and then lifts a few coins from someone nearby and slips them to you. A small chance she's caught, and then that hold's guards add a small bounty. Never guards, followers, children or your spouse. On, off, how often and the chance she's caught are in her MCM.
- Different greetings before you hire her, while she follows, inside, at your estate and on the road.
- Her own daggers: Finders (Absorb Stamina) and Keepers (Absorb Health).
- Her face is TheFaceSculptor's Ariel Nyr, with the Nyr Follower Asset Pack.
- Her outfit is Obicnii's Obi's Rogue Outfit, fitted to her. Its textures come from its own page, a requirement.
- Skilled Fence: at home she buys your stolen goods, sells black-market stock, cleans a stolen item for a cut and pays off your bounty in a hold for a cut.
- Estates of Skyrim: hire her as a skilled worker, at the top of her trade from her first day, with her own traits.
- Warband (1.2.22 or newer): she joins your band through Warband's own join line and takes the Trader post as your Skilled Fence: she sells the band's haul, cleans stolen gear and clears bounties.
- All of it works without Estates of Skyrim and Warband. They only add to her.
- The longer she travels with you, the closer she gets: new hire, trusted, friend, close friend. Her greetings and answers change as she comes to know you.
- Romance and marriage, for any character: court her, tell her you love her, and marry her at the Temple of Mara in Riften with an Amulet of Mara.
- She is a flirt with an adult side. With OStim Standalone installed, her scenes play in OStim; without it they fade to black and everything else works.
Amber knows these mods when you have them installed. All of them are optional: she works fully on her own.
- Estates of Skyrim: hire her as a skilled worker at your estates.
- Warband: version 1.2.22 or newer gives her her own Skilled Fence post.
- Octavia, Oskar and Cassia: she has things to say about them when they travel with you.
- OStim Standalone: her adult scenes. Optional.
Good to know
- Works without Estates of Skyrim and Warband.
- Her own MCM: turn her talking on or off, set the minutes between her remarks, and choose what she talks about.
- Want her simple? Get Amber - Vanilla from the Files tab: base-game hair, leather armor and whatever body you use, so you don't need 3BA or Obi's Rogue Outfit. Install it after the main file, let it overwrite, and enable its plugin.
- Don't want the body physics? Get Amber - No Body Physics from the Files tab, install it after the main file and let it overwrite. Same look, nothing jiggles.
- Light on scripts: she reacts when something happens, with no timers running all the time.
Built and played in a Nolvus Awakening load order. Nolvus users: install it like any other mod.
Install with your mod manager and enable all 5 plugins: Estate Specialists.esp, Seths EoS Amber.esp, Seths EoS Amber Part 2.esp, Seths EoS Amber Part 3.esp and Seths EoS Amber Intro.esp. All are ESL-flagged, so none uses a load order slot. On Skyrim older than 1.6.1130 you also need Backported Extended ESL Support. Needs SKSE, powerofthree's Papyrus Extender, RaceMenu, SkyUI and MCM Helper (for her MCM), Nyr Follower Asset Pack and Obi's Rogue Outfit. Her body and outfit are 3BA. OStim Standalone is optional.
Safe to install mid-game: load your save and she is in Belethor's General Goods in Whiterun by day and the Bannered Mare at night.
If you also have Cassia, Nadira or Oskar, let Amber's files win: in Mod Organizer put Amber below them, in Vortex make Amber load after them. She carries the newest shared core.

Amber was built with the help of an AI coding assistant (records & scripts). Her voice is an AI voice made with Boson AI's Higgs Audio. Her banners and thumbnails are AI-made images built from her in-game screenshots. I play her in my own game and fix reports fast, so tell me in the posts if anything's off.
