Visions - Ashtoreth The Succubus

Overview

The first brand-new follower in the Visions series, made for my friend Ashtoreth.

I made this follower for my friend Ashtoreth, who has always supported my work and made the best outfits for my creations. Be sure to check out her work. She takes commissions too, so ask her about it.

Ashtoreth has a detailed story I wrote for her, but for now here is the short version. Later I will come back to this mod to add more features and possibly even a custom voice. As she stands, Ashtoreth the Succubus should make a worthy companion for your travels.Backstory

Ashtoreth was first summoned by a Necromancer long ago. He bound her into a book and kept it to himself for hundreds of years as he became a lich. In time his own coven of Necromancers betrayed him, and the book has passed from hand to hand ever since, down through Necromancers who abused her power for their own greed.Features

• Spellsword - she wields fire magic alongside her blade
• Punishment - her whip, carrying a special enchantment
• Dark Gothic horns - the horns on her head come from Witchy's Dark Gothic accessories
• Visions skin - Reverie Skin 1.11+ by Novelyst, with BNP skin and eyes by Swefrida and Khisartin
• Your body - the Visions series uses your installed body (3BA, BHUNP, CBBE, TBD, or UNP), and works with OBody and WetFunction
• Visions architecture - a smaller footprint and better performance

More special abilities are planned for a future update.How to Find Her

Head down into the Deluge, deep in Ilinalta's Deep. The Necromancers there hold her summoning book. If you would rather skip the hunt, use AddItemMenu to grab the summoning book straight from her plugin, though where is the fun in that?Her Outfit

Her succubus outfit requires Ashtoreth's Succubus Outfit, which supports 3BA or BHUNP. If you do not install it, Ashtoreth will simply default to Daedric Armor. Check the Optional Files section on the Files tab for any additional options you may want.Requirements

• Visions Asset Pack - required (download the version for your body type: 3BA/CBBE or BHUNP/UNP)
• Ashtoreth's Succubus Outfit - optional (for her outfit, 3BA or BHUNP; without it she wears Daedric Armor)

Installation

1. Download the Visions Asset Pack for your body type (3BA/CBBE or BHUNP/UNP). This is required.
2. Install this mod with your mod manager. There is no FOMOD.
3. To update later, download the new version and replace it, do not merge. Updating mid-game is completely safe.

Troubleshooting

These replacers change looks only and are heavily tested before release. Placed properly in your load order, they work as expected. Most issues come down to load order and can be solved by adjusting it, re-downloading the asset pack or the mod (or both), or building a small custom patch. The guides in the Articles tab cover the common cases.Support

Please keep comments respectful. Constructive feedback is always welcome, but rude or passive-aggressive remarks, or disparaging any author's work, mine or anyone else's, are not, and will result in a permanent ban from my mod pages. Support in the comments is limited, so start with the guides in the Articles tab, then use the Support section for the FAQ, articles, and help requests.Credits

• Ashtoreth - the namesake of this follower and the maker of her succubus outfit
• Witchy - the horns, from the Dark Gothic accessories mod
