Wouldn't it be nice to talk a while,you and I ?

Havent had much chance to play recently due to work,but I just wanted to thank Emma for her continued work on Vilja.A lot of nice options were added in 1.4.The campsite is really cool and works really well with realistic needs mod and really makes traveling away from home a nice trip instead of a chore.

Some of the more advanced dressing (clothing) options are really nice as well.Vilja often asked me for cloaks and hoods because she was cold(our home is Winstad Manor,maybe thats why)but I always hated how often and how layered in clothes she would stay,even while inside or in warmer areas.This has helped a lot.

I havent played much with the new crafting but am looking forward to it.I gave Vilja some alchemy recipes.Not sure if this works or it only works with spell tomes,but I am excited to see what she can come up with.

And of course the fine tuning of Vilja's habits(leading the way) were really nice.I still think it's funny that she worrries about being fat just a few moments after a life and death fight with an Elder dragon,but I suppose others may get annoyed and turn these comments off.To me it is part of the charm, but I like the fact that these comments are all optional.

Great job,and as always thank you very much for the hard work and dedication and improving my(and many others) gameplay experience.

1.4 is really hitting on all cylinders!

post script.

I have been encounteing a few bugs and just wanted to post them.Nohing big.Vilja is constanly equipping (and keeping it equipped)her sheild.In particcular when she plays music.I can post SS,but not sure how to post on this sight.

Also several problems with clothing changes.Often times when swimming she will either don her armor or her nightgown and sometimes in the morning(if I wake first)Vilja is totally naked or naked with a sheild.Vilja now also sleeps with her eyes open...Seems weird I'll keep an eye on it.

The sleeping-with-eyes open thing was actually an engine bug that was introduced by game patch 1.9 and affected all NPCs, but was itself fixed by a very quick patch update from Beth. You shouldn't see it now, apparently.

As for clothing, I've often seen her naked first thing in the morning, but she normally equips clothing fairly quickly.

I have seen her change clothes depending on state-combat-sleeping-swimming etc.etc.It is fairly quick,but now it is cycling through several outfits, several times, and often times she lands on the incorrect outfit and stays with the wrong one.Such as swimming in her night gown or playing music with her sheild equipped.I mean... she will play the full song,entirely, with the sheild equipped...not like.. just a flash of it ,and it goes away.

Vilja was also having problems with her headgear(Aromor).Sometimes wearing it and sometimes not.If I asked to check her gear and just tabbed out (reset her gear) she would then wear the helmet,but when she does it on her own often times she wont wear it.

In non armor (clothes)She would also only wear shoes,headgear(non armor) or clothes,but would never wear them together...So shoes but nothing else,or hood and norhing else.This problem has seen to go away once I removed a new dragonborne only dunmer mage clothes???but the helmet is still happeing.Is it possible, because all her armor is light and the helmet is heavy armor, that this could be causing the problem???

I have directed Vilja to wear the armor that would protect her the best,so I thought she would mix and match armor types?
