About this mod

Leyla is a recruitable standalone follower. She's very barebones with limited voiced dialogue, but at the very least, she can fight.

Requirements
Permissions and credits

IMPORTANT!!!
Please uninstall all previous versions of this mod and install the new version (1.3.3) as soon as possible. The previous versions were broken. See the version history section for details.

If you use a settlement scrapping mod like Spring Cleaning by Nverjos, you're going to want to install this Spring Cleaning Compatibility Patch by VlitS since installing Leyla resets the Abernathy Farm settlement to vanilla scrapping capabilities.


Leyla is a recruitable standalone follower. She's very barebones with limited voiced dialogue (sourced from in-game files), but at the very least, she can fight. Good with ranged weapons, especially sniper rifles. Her combat style is based on MacCready and uses his sniper rifle, and comes with 40 .308 rounds to start.

This is technically my first mod. I simply made this upon a request, but I don't believe there should be any issues. If you would like a LooksMenu preset for Leyla, I've uploaded it here.


Ponytail Hairstykes by Azar v2.0 (You must install this mod before installing Leyla if you want her to have the custom hair)


You can find Leyla at Abernathy Farm beside the brahmin pen (where it should be).

To recruit her, simply talk to her and tell her to follow you. You can also dismiss her and move her to one of your settlements where she can work. You may re-hire her to follow you by simply talking to her again and telling her to follow you.

I made this thanks to a helpful tutorial by Seddon4494 on youtube. It's also thanks to him that I sorted out several game-breaking bugs that were apparent in this mod.

I will use the knowledge I've gained in creating this companion to create others. Leyla is certainly not going to be the only companion I will release here. Stay tuned for more.

Bugs & Issues
  • When installing with Mod Organizer, it may cause the application to crash. I recommend installing manually in these cases.

  • Slightly adjusted her combat effectiveness.
  • (1.3.1) Tweaked her faction alignments.
  • (1.3.1) Fixed a punctuation error in her dialogue.
  • (1.3.2) Removed the "teleport spell" that was mistakenly set to true on her.

1.2.0
  • Fixed a game-breaking bug that prevented players from interacting with other NPCs at all.
  • Fixed a bug where she would not join the player as a companion.
  • Nerfed her combat effectiveness a little bit.
