"I didn't mean to alarm anyone." Vilja the Younger said contritely. "But I just knew that you would catch me my love!". "Golly! You really are stronger than you look!" said Sophia in awe. Graykin breathing a sigh a relief, just smiled gratefully!

"Do you see that lounge lizard making goo goo eyes at our little Ceri?" Graykin mentioned in an undertone to the Twins. "Mm-hmm!" they replied while keeping their eyes on the unwary Rustic Romeo! "Well, it didn't take long for Ceri to have had enough!" the Elder Twin chuckled as they relaxed, "I wonder how long it's going to take him to grow back his beard?" she said, while the Younger Twin just smirked! "Phew!" gasped Graykin, "I hate the smell of burnt hair!" he added wryly.

graykin. I take my hat off to you. Your wit and imagination lifts this saga to wonderful heights. It has become 'alive' I wonder, one day will you turn it all into a book. Pictures and your narratives.

"Come on Ceri!" Vilja explained, "If we don't dance for the animals spirit, my Sister and the others won't be successful in their hunt!". "Oh Lord Donbluss help them have a good hunt!". Cerwiden replied, "You pray your way and I'll pray mine!".

"So... the others sent you up here to ask me... if I would mind... carrying everyone piggyback... across the ford in the river?" Graykin asked incredulously, staring at the Younger Twin who was studiously avoiding his gaze. The throbbing in his temple having already begun, he sighed and shook his head, "Sure! why not!" he smiled, suddenly realizing that after all, this would get him out of helping set up the camp later that day!

Can't get her at all. Serana keepsa telling me she's going somewhere to become human, but doesn't go. I don't know what to tell you Rhyls? They have always followed me! (when I ask them). Except for Vilja and her Twin that is! At first, I could only get one at a time to follow, the other one would wander off (unless I was in a fight then they would appear and help but the moment the fight was over, start to wander again). So I would have the younger Twin (clone is such a heartless word!) follow and 'summon the original one from location to location. But as the younger twin became able to do more and more of what her sister could do, by the last version (4.1) it was no longer an issue! Just recently I finally upgraded to 'Skyrim UI' and when I clicked on each sister to see what if any additional info was available, the younger one's (ff******)info was the same as the elders except at the bottom where there were 2 lines listing the source files for the elder twin. The younger twin's said 'EMCompViljaSkyrim ESP' on one line while on the other line it only said 'Unknown'! I do use the UFO mod and FNIS and SKSE but nothing else that has any dialogue or behavior changes in it.(that I know of) Only some graphic enhancers, Falskaar, Campsites and Highview cottage. (and Eryniel, Cerwiden and Sophia of course!). So your guess is as good as mine! I have just recently been accused of making modding changes. I wish I knew how but can't claim any credit for anything unusual in my game. I don't know how or why they do what they do, I thought that everyone's Vilja behaved the same as mine did! They don't do it often but on occasion they have stuck their tongues out, rolled their eyes, pointed at something and also have pursed their lips, closed their eyes and leaned forward to kiss my avatar (have caught some of the animations and they're in the forum in some past photos).

I don't see how it works at all. Sophia is the biggest problem. She's got gurps. Every 2 or 3 days she goes weird, usually not walking and following, teleporting every few minutes instead. Eryniel keeps getting into conversations with herself. Lydia engages Vilja in conversation which is often very disjointed, not making much sense at all. Mjoll is possibly the strangest as she has declared war on all of Skyrim, attacking everything in sight. I gave her a wood sword which she refuses to use, switching to fists. Every few days she regrows a generic two handed weapon.

Sounds like my lot. except I don't have Mjoll.Decided last night to resureect Sofia and Cerwiden.both were in the right places Riverwood and the stables. Problem was both were mostly invisible. Need to uninstall and do them again. At this moment there is Vilja and Eryniel with Serana and I am trying out Jenassa(redone as a Bjorn Warmaiden) If I can get Sofia and Ceri to do as they are told Jenassa will go. Eryniel will always be part of my troop. But isn't it all such fun? Where else could you get uptight and worry about a collection of pixels. Will they, she,he be ok, not disappear, walk about naked, charge at dragons with a kitchen knife(Ceri) etc. Oddly it seems only the girls who like to go walkabout in their birthday suits. I wonder do they compare one anothers assets? After we killed Harkon I asked Serana if she wanted to be human, she said yes and would go smewhere and return later. So far she hasn't left at all. She's another one for appearing in the altogether. I see also someone has done a 'Full Wardrobe' mod similar to Vija's. Haven't tried it tho'.

Let's see, Out of everything you both have mentioned happening in your games, Sniffles and Rhyls, I have experienced only two of them. I did have one of the Vilja's teleport to me consistently, instead of walking or running. When I looked into what she was carrying, it turned out to be way over her weight limit. When I took the excess away, the problem went away! And I have on rare occasion had one of the Twins semi-transparent for a while. Sometimes it went away when I quick traveled or reloaded the game. It hasn't happened for quite some time now. I had thought it could have been related to either a high FPS rate or not much more video memory available but I'm not sure. Hoping you both can sort it out! Sorry I couldn't be much help! ? graykin

I've never had any problem with my girls following me. Some do occasionally lag behind and I have to let them catch up again. I only use one of my girls as a pack mule; she has three extra bags I can use. Most are instructed to follow Vilja. I sometimes have one following me directly in addition to Vilja. I've not seen them stick their tongues out or roll their eyes! When Vilja is sitting on my character's lap, their faces can get quite close to one another when they are staring into each other's eyes (I use the player headtracking mod). Rhys, what's the name of this "full wardrobe" mod? I'm aware of two, one for followers and one for the player, but they are simple compared to Vilja's system.

Something my tech mentioned to me. (Trying to remember as I can't find the email so excuse me being fuzzy) With delayed actions in a program where a backlog stacks up various problems can arise. These problems are dependent upon the computer power and the various abilities or weaknesses of the computer. What happens is secondary, tertiary or further routines can stack up and if their execution occurs when a command of greater hierarchy is executing they get put in a queue. When they come out of the queue and get executed depends upon the way the program and the sub routines are coded. With Skyrim, a hodgepodge of the main game and a vast assortment of additions, this backlog can take an extremely long time to clear. This fudge in the works is also effected by CPU capability, available RAM, speed of the RAM, virtual memory speed and capacity and the speed of the person playing the game demanding additional actions. This seems to apply to Vilja getting stuck in her dialogues and I suppose could also effect other followers that have an even lower hierarchy order than hers. I got a little more. This prioritizing commands, I think he called them wait states, ran something like CPU cache memory>RAM memory>virtual memory. The farther down the ladder, the slower and the greater chance of problems occurring. This is the reason why all real computers these days have a CPU for every port. (Someone could explain to me how that helps) He also mentioned that serious problems can arise if unexecuted commands are dropped to virtual memory then the game is shut down before they can execute they have to be retrieved from the virtual memory to the save game. This saving is notoriously unreliable and the stack of pending operations can easily get mixed up on the priority ladder.. I remember! The saving from virtual memory to a saved game is something almost all computer owners have come to know and hate. This is what causes all editions of Windows to bloat and eventually crash. The saved 'game' being the instructions to build the registry the next time Windows is started. The macro vs micro kernel
