RaceMenu follower workflow

Inputs

• Preset and sculpt data.
• Race, sex, weight, height, voice, combat style, class, outfit, and follower behavior.
• Body, skin, hair, eye, brow, and head-part dependencies.
• Redistribution permissions.

Workflow

1. Freeze the asset and dependency plan before plugin authoring.
2. Create NPC, race/head-part, outfit, faction, relationship, package, and voice records through skyrim-plugin-authoring.
3. Generate FaceGen using a verified authoring path. Do not fake FaceGen by copying unrelated meshes.
4. Match weight, tint, head mesh, face normal, body normal, and skin texture sets.
5. Check dynamic normal-map or skin frameworks for post-load overrides when a match briefly appears then changes.
6. Add recruitment and dismissal through the smallest compatible framework or dialogue path.
7. Verify loose-file paths, archive layout, masters, and optional asset conditions.
8. Test dark-face, neck seam, expression, blinking, inventory, combat, dismissal, and save reload.
