    Important information.

    ------------------
    Please read description for more info, this is just a quick summary, of the most important things.

    Location:
    Sleeping Giant Inn

    1. Clean savegame if you're UPDATING from v 1.X to v2.X (or better yet use new savegame)

    Stop the triss related quests with console command "stopquest IDquest". You can get id by typeing help "trissdialogue" and help "trissQuest".
    Dismiss, save, uninstall, save, reinstall.
    After installing, or re installing this mod, before playing it in your current savegame, it is recommended to start a new game, and talk to Triss, after the intro, this will correctly activate lipsync in ALL your savegames.
    It's a Skyrim thing, no clue why, possibly due to quests being triggered at the beginning of your game.
    Still a new savegame is 100% the better option.

    2. Do not manage with AFT she is not vanilla framework.
    Yet you can give her an outfit with AFT, but do not manage her behaviour.

    3.
    Textures and meshes have to be obtained from my other mod Triss Merigold RACE, due to archive sizes, and customization options.
    However you do not need to play with SC_ZZ_Triss.esp or its requirements as active!

    4. Use My home is your home, to give her the marriage home.

    5. If you enable Outfit Manager in MCM, make sure you have the meshes and textures from Witcher 3 female armors.

    NEW UPDATE

    Version 2.0 is a Major update, which rewrites the core scripts of the follower and adds new features:

    - Adds more idle dialoge lines, who have a comment frequency controlled by an MCM setting.
      You can chose how often Triss will comment while being your follower.

    - Horse Riding, if MCM option is enabled Triss will ride a horse with you.

    - Teleport and utility spells (magelight, waterbreathing, heal)

    - Outfit manager, with default outfit, hooded outfit, lingerie, and custom outfit.
    If option is enabled in MCM it'll add more Outfits you can chose from, however you need to download the witcher 3 female armors, linked above.

    Please Check FAQ before posting:
    Spoiler:  
    Show

    FAQ:

    Q: Lips do not move, HELP?
    A: The mod requires a new savegame to activate lip movement. You start a new save, find Triss, and start the quest, then load back your save, which will then work fine. This is a Skyrim quirk with start enabled quests.

    Q: Update is broken, help?
    A: Please see the guide on how to successfully update, that is written on top of the description page, or check the manual she has in her inventory.

    Q: Why are the outfits from Outfit Manager not working?
    A: Those outfits are Extra content, and can only be seen, if you have the latest version of Witcher 3 female armors installed.

    Q: Is HDT required?
    A: No, it is not required to run the mod, however it is required is you select certain HDT specific options in the installer, and if you do use the HDT wigs. Both features are optional, and you can use the mod without HDT installed.

    Q: Can I use AFT?
    A: Yes, as long as you do not try to Recruit\dismiss the follower with it, or change her behaviour through it. You can even manage her outfit!

    Q: Her body and face is pink! hELp!
    A: You did not read neither the description or the requirement warning!
        Please dwnload the required Triss Merigold RACE. You don't need to activate the ESP, but you MUST choose which body texture and face to use.

    Q: HDT-Hairs WHERE?
    A: HDT "hairs" are wigs included in the ESP. you can get them with AdditemMenu, or crafting. Triss has a book, you need to hold in your inventory to be able to craft them.

    Q: Bodyslide?
    A: No. The outfit has handpainted weights. it'll not work in bodyslide. It'd be a mess of clipping, distortions, and a generally low quality output.

    Q: Sexmod Compatibility?
    A: No. It belongs to CDPR It's no meant to be used for such purposes. You're on your own for that.

    Q: Will you add...?
    A: No, this is all.

    It appears there is an update to this mod as of 21 April 2025, but when I go to the Files page, the last upload was 14 Oct 2023. I'm confused.

      The description was updated, and the file archive was made available to browse.

      maybe it triggered something and flagged it as update in mod managers or nexus.

    Hey, I've been having issues with the teleport spell as well as the custom teleport dialogue with her. Both don't work. The screen fades to black like she's teleporting us, but we don't move. The MCM indicates the custom point is set, so I'm not sure what's the issue. The same thing happens when I try to summon her. It goes white, but she doesn't appear. I have to summon her through the MCM. Any idea why this is happening? Never really bothered with it before now.

      Did you start a new game after installing\updating the mod?

      Are you using follower overhauls commandon her?

      I haven't imported her into NFF, nor have I used any commands from NFF on her either. And as for the first part, I have the most up-to-date version on a new game.

    Triss has no voice. Her lips move and I could recruit her, but her lines don't play.

      Pleae read the description. It clearly says you need to start a new game to activate the lipsnc.
      Skyrim engine allows quests to only be started with the game start. Once you ave toalked to her in your new game, you can safely load any older safe, and the quest will be carried over.

      That's what I've done. About 5 times. Honestly probably just due to my massive load order but hoping to find a fix.

      I recommend doing a regular start first talk to her to acivate her quest, then she'll be fine.

      Please read FAQ. it's a custom framework follower, you must not use follower tweaks systems on her. Use the inbuilt feeatures.

    Hello, zzjay. I hope you can give me some advice. I don't know which step went wrong. My triss didn't have a body when I first met her. When I communicated with her and asked her to wear regular clothes, her body and clothes would appear, but she still didn't have hands. When I asked her to wear pajamas, her hands would appear, but there was a seam problem. Although it didn't have much impact, I hope to solve this problem. I have read your comment that Triss' clothing does not have BS, it is a fixed model, but the disappearance of the body is similar to the problem that occurs with BS. Do I need to generate Triss race body data in BS? But the head texture of Triss,is normal, and there is no problem with the texture of the clothes.

      Somethign went wrong in the race installation most likely.

      In the mod manager option you need to have the race installed, then install the follower. Then you can disable the race ESP, but not the whole package, as you need to get tetures and meshes from the race installer.

      Mkae sure that you do not tell your mod manager to "update" a mod, that will uninstall some key files. always install them as regular mods, and manage priorities in a way that the fllower has the max priority.

      Thank you for your help. I reinstalled the race file and it's fine now. I found that there was no physical connection to my clothing spid at the beginning. I didn't generate data in BS, but the clothes were distributed to Triss,

    She is a very amazing and well done follower. I'm surprised by the amount of different lines she has and her custom options. She fits in as much as my other newer followers. She was a bit short, so I scaled her on tes5edit to 1.1. Other than that, shes amazing in combat.

    How do I adjust Triss' body? I ran bodyslide and it affected all the females in the game except for Triss. I know the clothing is custom but will it work if I give her other clothing?

      You need to export the body to her custom race folder.

      Custom races have custom bodies. you can look up the mesh path in the file explorer.

      Mod manager may not allow you to manually edit files, so just zip them with the proper path and install.

      FAQ ssecion contains a more deailed tutorial.

      Thank you for the response. I am still fairly new to modding and not sure how to do that. I will surely mess something up. So, I will probably just leave it alone.

      It's actually explained in the race page.
      As all assets related info is in that page.

      it's not hard. there's 2 things that come into play:

      1. mod managers.
      Mod managers like vortex and mo2 have file locks. so you cannot changethem manually, making this taskharder than it needs to be. they do so to prevent users from editing files manualy, and possibly messing them up.
      For this readon you'll have to make a ZIP file and run it through your mod manager.

      you'll simply have to create folders in windows, and then copy paste the body, hands and feet that are exported by your bodyslide program in your default female folder.

      2. Custom path. Custom race has custom body, nt installed in your default game folder, due to texture compatibility this is necessary, as the mod cannot support any existing body, even defunt cones like dreamgirl or the first nude mods over at LE. So the bodies are stored separately, and to edit them, you'll have to paste the body files in the folder i picked out for the race.

      There's really no modding skill involved in this, but its basic windows operating. It's actually harder to use and export files through bodyslide.
      The race will have the originalshape of triss body from the witcher 3 game, and you can, for whatever reason easily change it, by replacing the nif files with a good old copy paste, if your mod manager doesntdecide it's too dangerous to do so.

      Thank you again for your detailed response. I am using a big mod pack called Nolvus so I am not sure if that changes things. I found the body slide folder but did not see a "default female" folder from where to copy the body, hands and feet like you said. Sorry, I am sure with your skills it is probably easy, but I am not great with computer stuff. I am in construction, I build houses, so tech stuff is pretty foreign to me lol. I had to watch a tutorial on how to install a mod pack that uses an auto installer lol. Anyway, I appreciate the effort, and the awesome mod!

      .\Data\meshes\actors\character\character assets

      This is the location, however, i have a hard time with modpacks and modern mod managers, as like i mentioned before, sometimes they do not let you do things, and mods are stored in a mod manager folder that is decided upon mod manager installation, so may have to dig through your files to find them, and yes it's definitely more annoying than the "old way", nexus mod manager.

    can we get her face preset? I'm role playing a ginger right now in my game. this would be perfect

      You cannot get a face preset, as it does not use the same headmesh and texture as the default game races.

      It's a new race because it's a direct model port from the witcher3 with some custom textures and her own facial animations.

      You can play as her by downloading the custom race version, which is linked as required file, as it contains all the assets needed and all the options available.

    Just to double check. In order to get her to work with ObodyNG I will need to replace the mesh for her which is actually locate in the "Triss Playable Race" mod, correct?

      yes, but it's better if you zip the file and install it as a mod, since the mod managers will most likely not allow you to customize files.

      Really? I mess with the files all the time. MO2 let's me open up the file easy as can be, just right click the mod and select "open in explorer" and it takes me to the mod I selected inside the MO2 mods folder where all my installed mods are located. If other mod managers aren't like that then I definitely understand why people say MO2 is best.

      Mo2  has a bad habit of reverting files, as well as vortex, if file protection is enabled.

       personally use NMM, so i can only report of second hand issues, from people in the comments.
