Sofia - The Funny Fully Voiced Follower
Loki 2 Jun, 2015 @ 12:27am
Sofia Weak?
Sofia takes 1 - 3 hits from the enemy before falling to the ground trying to heal herself... Even if this is somewhat good to level my restoration magic, it's getting reaaallly annoying... Some Falmer shoot her down with 1 arrow!!

I'm level 54 in this game and something like this never happened to me on different playthroughs without Sofia (I was level 80 with Lydia and she didn't fall so easily)... I tought it was because some armor she had that improved the heavy armor skill, but now she's wearing a legendary - not enchanted set of daedric armor and it's like she's wearing nothing...

I can't find any information regarding armor preferences for Sofia (besides sexy-mod armor) and I think this is an armor-rating issue because when she's down it takes more spells to fully heal her than it takes to heal myself (considering heal amount differences) and because even when I wear light armor and my skill is 50 I don't take that much damage...

What is the problem? Sofia's skills level normally? If Sofia wears heavy armor is it ok if I wear light armor only? Do enchanted and/or improved armor conflict with her skills?

PS: I play the vanilla version of the game, standard Sofia. I do not use SkyUI or any other mod that requires SKSE. I do not use mods that alter items, skills, perks, enemies or followers... Also, I'm talking about normal-leveled humanoid enemies and normal difficulty...

Great!! Thanks for the reply!! I'll check her stats that way and see what the problem is :D

Apparently AFT functions do not work with Sofia :( I tried to get the info but the AFT options are not there... I read some articles online and people say she uses her own options and AI, therefore she does not count as a follower to AFT :'(

Yes. She has her own options ond AI, but the AFT do not drop them. The AFT works with Sofia, if you want to. You ony need the command "Tweak Make Follower", BUT the AFT will give you a warning, if you use the tweak power on her , that Sophia is an "essential follower". That's all! You can tweak her anyway, if you want to.

My relationship level is now 30, and i accompanied her 20 days (work in progress) with the AFT and there obvious no bugs, except that she sometimes loose the clothes I gave her ;-)

Btw keep in mind that Sophia was updated to version 2.01 only a few month ago (2/25/2015). Maybe a reason why you can manage her with he AFT?!

PS: Sry for bad english!

You were right! I used the "tweak make follower" thing (I didn't realize I could do that, how dumb lol) and I can use the special dialog options along with the regular ones :D

I checked the auto-level info and now I know she is proficient with light armor, not heavy (maybe I'll change that, maybe hehehe) and her armor rating is currently -2500... Yes, negative armor rating (maybe for the weight of the armor, maybe some other thing) and I even checked the armor rating of some other followers to make sure it was a very large negative number... But the important thing is that now I can try different solutions and see what happens :)

She's been with me for 70 days and our relationship status is 80, I really hope I can solve the issue without resetting her...

About the clothes issue, have you tried to use the "set outfit" option? Or is it a thing with the AFT "multiple outfits" tweak?

Again, thanks a lot for your help!! You're awesome!!

P.S.: Sorry for my bad english as well, I'm a spanish speaker xD

Yes, I tried to "set outfit" option, but it hapens sometimes (maybe depending where you are or which armor you give her) and it's no problem for me. Now she's wearing a "Light Dawngard Armor" (before a heavy "Ebony Armor"). That might be the solution to this issue.

Btw I'm a german speaker. :-D

Update: Sophia's wedding works with the AFT. Needless to say on her own way...:-D

Good to know your issue with the outfit is solved/not a problem :D

The problem with my Sofia was that somehow she was affected with the "Marked for Death" shout xD I had to use console commands to restore her armor rating, but the problem is now solved :D

It seems we're both happy with our Sofia again :D Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!
