スカイリムの東方ふもふも
Touhou Fumos for Skyrim puts Touhou Fumos into Skyrim, plain as that. There are currently 11 Fumos available:
- Cirno
- Flandre
- Mokou
- Reimu
- Reimu 2 (explanation on this in a bit)
- Remilia
- Sakuya Inu
- Shion
- Youmu
- Yuuka
- Yuyuko
There are 8 merchant groups in total that have a chance to sell fumos, all the merchants that do are general merchants from the base game who have stores indoors (except traveling merchants). The merchants that do sell fumos will have a fumo or two on their table (ya know, to help identify the merchants who sell fumos). An example of this is Belethor and his assistant in Whiterun.
You will also occasionally find fumos in chests (excluding Dwemer/Falmer chests). In doing so you have a chance to find a rare Sakuya Inu fumo (cannot be purchased from merchants, but can be sold).
In each larger base game city (Whiterun, Solitude, Riften, etc.) there is a single hidden in sight Reimu 2 fumo (that makes 9 Reimu 2 fumos in total) amongst the buildings (not indoors). They aren't tucked away in some niche hidey hole spots or anything and are mostly visible from the main paths whilst walking in the city. Some are easier to find then others.
The fumos are generally a tad bigger then the real life counterpart (more akin to the size of a teddy bear). Image above to show size comparisons to a nord.
Installation:
Simply drag and drop the TouhouFumos.esp into your "(location...)\Skyrim (edition here)\Data" folder and copy over the meshes/textures to their respective folders. If there isn't a textures and/or meshes folder(s) in the Data folder then just copy the mod textures/meshes folders into the Data folder. Activate in the mod loader list whilst in the in game menu.
Now finally some Q/A....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why isn't X Touhou character fumo here?
A: Because the 3D scanned model and texture for the fumo either isn't available to me or has not been made public online. I cannot tweak/port/mod a model that does not exist.
Q: Can you put X Touohu character fumo into the game?
A: Maybe, if the character exist as a 3D scan online and is actually downloadable with a proper model/mapped texture (as I did not make the original models/textures myself). Again, that is all dependent on if the required parts are available to add them to the game and as well if the time exists to actually put them in Skyrim.
Q: The bottom of some fumos are hollow/untextured...The fumo has some nasty spots to it. Can you fix this?
A: Probably not. I am by no means a professional model maker (literally learned blender whilst tweaking/porting these models). The models came as is when downloading them and I already tweaked them to be as clean as I possibly could get them when editing them. The bottoms of some of the models came hollow/unmodeled as well so there's really nothing I can do about that.
Q: Can I use the models/items in this mod for something else that's being made?
A: As long as you give the proper credit where its due then go for it!
Q: Why use a second Reimu 2 fumo as the fumo to hunt down in the cities?
A: Because I was debating on using it as the primary Reimu fumo over the current one, but went against that. I already had it modeled and ported over to a .nif so I just decided to use that for a sort of collectathon limited number fumo. I also wanted to use something different then the rest of the normal fumos, so it sort of just fit the bill.
Q: This seems like a lot for just some fumos. How long did this take you to make this?
A: Longer than it should have, probably about a month on and off. Learned Blender, NifSkope, Skyrim CK, general texturing/modeling things. This is also my first Bethesda game based mod so there's that to take into account.

FINALLY I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE CREDIT TO:
Renafox (for most of the fumo models/textures used in the creation of this mod)
Scarletfumo (for the fumo Remilia model/texture used)
ZUN (for making Touhou)
And thank you for checking out the mod!
