UPDATE: April first OK I merged all the optional mods in to two single mods, In both I went back through and removed level cap from followers, and set females to have female animations. I also set the Housecarls to have the spouse AI package so they wander around the houses more.
I tested both with UFO and they seem to work but you might still get duplicate items, so I still made a No Default Outfit version. Because I want to be able to strip my follower bare and give them cloths to wear around the house.
I took the lightfoot perk out and you can use Follower Trap Safety mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11609
Still to do: I need to go back and double check all the option files tonight, make sure the level cap is removed, females have female animations and remove all lightfoot perk versions.
UPDATE: fLokii(author of TCG) sent me a message on his new mod UFO Ultimate Follower Overhaul. Looks really awesome so check it out. Using it and and the others he has listed on his compatibility list should provided a lot of great functionality.
I am also attempting to use TESsnip to merge my newer group packs and all the optional files into a single new main file seeing I have been tweaking the individual files the past week and no longer use the originally released mod.

The OLD Files are my original Mods, But I am now running files from the Optional section and using TCG and Increased Follower Limit and Also Followers Can Relax. Using files from the optional section instead of the Old files allows you to pick and choose which Cosmetic Make-Overs you want and allows for better compatibility with other follower mods.
Load order:
Followers Can relax
TCG
Increased Follower Limit
K Custom Aela
K Custom Iona
and so on...
Description:
This Mod is primarily Cosmetic Alterations to many Followers. I am not turning every female I see into Megan Fox. These Cosmetic changes are mostly minor and don't end up looking like botched plastic surgery.
I did do a couple other things:
I gave all followers lightfoot because if I were leading my friend through a dungeon I would say "Hey! don't step on that trap!!"
Housecarls are essential and in the AI Packages tab each had the respective "MarriageSpouseXXXXXXSandboxPlayerHouse" package added, where XXXXXX is the house they are carl to. This makes it so Lydia won't sit in your bedroom as stare at you while you sleep. They walk around the house more and do things other than stare at you while you sleep.
Argis and Calder are now Beautiful young Ladies, and Iona is now a beautiful lady too. Argis is still a standard heavy armor wearer, one-hand weapon and shield user but Calder is a Spellsword. She wears heavy armor uses a one-hand weapon and will cast destruction magic. Iona is now a light armor wearing dual wielding maniac much like Jenassa.
Aela has mostly Cosmetic changes and I took away the Ancient Nord armor because she is skilled in light armor. For now I gave her Forsworn body armor, it's light and sexy and she's a nature girl and a werewolf so she needs something easy to get off or at least replace. Other companions have minor changes.
Hirelings are set to protected so you can kill them, they can also get knocked out of a fight when they go into bleed-out state. Gear and such has been tweaked a little. For example I love my Jenassa so she now starts with some thieves gear.
All and all 44 NPCs had either Major Cosmetic work or minor tweaks, just too many to give examples. Opening the Mod in creation Kit you will see a * next to the number in the Count field of the Object Window Editor ID list.
Two Flavors, Plain and Naked. Naked means that there is no default set selected in the Actor Inventory Tab. When not an Active Follower NPCs will only Wear their DEFAULT gear meaning. "None" selected equals Naked NPCs depending on body mod. The Plain version is still not the original default gear, instead it is either Fine Cloths, Farm Cloths, Merchant cloths or possibly some low weight gear for the most part.
You can still use console commands to do things like, open the console select an NPC then type ShowInventory to get a list of all items on the NPC then removeitem XXXXXX or removeallitems to delete stuff.
Some non Follower NPCs have been Altered, such as Elisif, Lisette, Hroki and maybe a couple others.
I have used this mod with Followers Can relax. Any other Follower mods may or may not work. I previously released 2 stand alone Mods, Custom Uthgerd and Custom Jenassa. This mod has those cosmetic changes incorporated into it.
UPDATE: 25-03-12
Added under Optional new versions with LF (Lightfoot Perk). Testing for Compatiblility with TCG and Increased Follower Limit has revealed some AI problems. During battle some Followers would fight hand-to-hand and not use the weapons they were given. This happened with the Main File naked version. Disabling the main file naked version and then instead switching over to using the Optional versions prevented this behavior.
UPDATE: 20-03-12
The original K Custom Followers and the Naked Version are moved Back to Main section. They are still my original Mods and contain all the Cosmetic changes to the Followers and several NPCs.
I will be recreating those same changes as Stand-Alone options for each Follower I think needs a make-over but these New stand-alone versions are nothing new. They will however be made to be compatible with TCG tradable companion gear extended: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=8530
I am testing it out and so far if I load TCG then the extended over it then the Starter Kit and make sure my Stand-Alone mods load after words then the Follower looks like my mod but has the benefits of TCG's mod. It is going slowly Testing with TCG because the TCG with my Mod sees to only want to play nice on a newly created game when the followers are not yet encountered. When I try both together on an old save I am having problems.
With this the changes to certain perks and spells will not be in the stand-alone. So if you are using my original mod K Custom Followers or the - Naked and are happy with the way the Cosmetic changes look and the Tweaked Perks such as lightfoot and spells and altered combat AI of say Iona, Keep using the Original and don't worry about the Stand-Alone releases.
UPDATE 02-18-12 PM:
I have done some testing and to make this compatible with TCG Tradeable companion gear I have moved the Stand alone Cosmetic Changes with Default Outfits on None to Main Files. I manually installed TCG then TCG extended then TCG StarterKit. Load order is TCG then I did TCG Starter Kit and then my K Custom - No Default Outfit mods loading last. Launched the Game and the Followers looked like my Mod but worked Like TCG followers.
From here forward I will redo Each Cosmetic Change as a Stand alone download with just the Cosmetic changes and Default Outfit Set to None.
UPDATE 02-18-12 AM:
Some people like certain Cosmetic Changes and not others. So I will be redoing each Cosmetic change and only Change the parameters of items in the Character Gen Parts and Character Gen Morphs. Hopefully this will allow for compatibility with other follower mods that offer more and better features but lack any cosmetic changes.
First off I would Like to thank expired6978 for his great mod Follower Tweaks Several Flavors which was the base of this mod. So removal of level cap on followers is in here and dissecting his mod allowed me to figure out the things I have done.
