This update is a major overhaul. Your patches, fixes and replacers will no longer work, and it requires a new game! Banter with other followers will still work as usual.

Before we get to it, I want to thank TieflingGrimoire who did the vast majority of work on this update. Please go show her some love and appreciation. Auri is just as much her mod as she is mine, at this point.
--- 2.2: Another small-ish update. Should be fine to update from 2.0 or 2.1 without new game. -Added a bunch of new Thieves Guild and Dawnguard commentary/conversations. -Fixed broken timer on Auri's romance. It should now proceed as intended. -Fixed quest marker that wouldn't go away after romance.
2.1: Small hotfix, can be safely updated from 2.0 without a new game. -Fixed landscape flickering around Auri's pod -Deleted obsolete mohidden files -deleted old leftover vanilla script -Fixed unvoiced lines -Fixed condition on a line
The TL:DR of 2.0: -Auri has been moved to her own framework. This means she will no longer be compatible with framework mods like NFF. -Auri has received a facelift. Her default appearance is now a slightly modified version of Kadraeus Daughter of Valenwood. (Thank you SO much!) -Auri can now be asked to rest anywhere in the world. -New combat system, which allows Auri to use either daggers or a bow. No more punching dragons. Well. LESS punching dragons. -If you suffer from restartitis, you can now skip Auri's quest by reminding her that you already did it! -Singing on/off toggle. -Romance quest is now spaced out over time. Does not require sitting down to progress. -Extensive changes to Thistlefoot, hopefully removing many bugs and making him more stable. -Auri will now get 20 arrows after her scene with Elrindir at the Drunken Huntsman. -You now get the Lover's Comfort buff if you're in a relationship with her. -Romance quest now has markers. -Several new conversations and idles. -Much more. Details in changelog on main page.

Special thanks to WOODENKNIGHT for Auri's new bow model, and to to Sranger for help with Thistlefoot.
And thanks to all of you for your patience and support. I hope you enjoy this one.
Known issues in 2.2: -Auri may not want to wear certain modded armors. A workaround discovered by SanuraG is to equip the armor on yourself first, and then giving it to her. -If you're using an older version of Skyrim, you will need BEES for this mod to work.
Help! Auri keeps punching draugrs WITH HER BOW INTENTIONALLY REMOVED FROM her GEAR-INVENTORY AND SOME NICE SINGLE-HANDED DAGGER AND SWORD GIVEN INSTEAD when she has been ALREADY asked to fight in MELEE.
first, im sure it is the gear inventory, for if the very inventory is given some fancy self-crafted bow, she will use the bow very well. the same goes with her default bow. and she uses neither my dagger-1hsword suite nor her default dagger. in fact, when asked to fight in melee and carrying either-default-or-self-made bows, she persists to fight in archer style.
The translation isn't very clear, but are you asking if I'm planning to make banter for more followers and quest mods? If so, yes. :) There's banter upcoming with Xelzaz and Yazakh when I have a bit more time, and I want to make commentary for Glenmoril once it's finished.
I noticed that Auri's line about cheating at dice (I think it only happens in Riften) is unvoiced. And thank you for this mod - Auri is so real and great to have as a companion, especially with Inigo and Lucien.
Auri's your equal, not a trophy for you to come home to for a quick romp every now and then. She won't cook for you either. She says so specifically =P.
You might have more luck if you tried cooking with her instead. As equal partners!
she does say that but im still trying to add an optional patch for those who want her to cook you a meal when you get home after killing some gods and dragons or sum.
Haha, this entire exchange makes me laugh. "Auri doesn't want to be a housewife." "Ok but I want to make a patch to make her a housewife." (Wouldn't it be easier to romance an NPC who actually wants to do that? :D)
As for a separate patch made by you, I mean I'd prefer if you didn't? Bring her with you to kill gods and dragons instead of expecting her to wait for you at home. I've made the mod like this for a reason, and it would be quite strange to have her say one thing and then do another. That said, there's nothing stopping you from doing that for your own personal game. :) I've no say in that.
Now that you mention it, there's this mod called "Bosmeri Cuisine" that adds a large amount of new food and drink items. I feel like it would be kind of insteresting if Auri could comment on the food if you have it in your inventory or if you could cook it for her. Models are also so lovely!
ive put it on my personal game now but a lot of users asked me to share it since they too would like auri to do that without caring what she said about that regard. She can still tag along with you and still make a lil something for her loved one, not just at home.
If you're stuck at her campsite and she wont give the dialogue option to continue the romance quest, "setstage 018auriromance 30" should make the necessary dialogue available
My 2.2 xbox version was stuck at her campsite, quest marker, after dark, the works. I installed another mod and it was fixed when I came back in, but I think thats just because I rebooted in the camp... hope this helps others.
Hi Waribiki, looks like the script sources are not updated for the latest 2.2 version. I see function differences in the PEX but the PSC are the same as the older (hidden) 2.2 version.
Could you please include the matching PSCs so we can make patches? (personal use, mostly)

This is a big one guys. Hold onto your hats.

Edit: classic reboot of the game fixed it...

I will... try? :D
