If you don't know what Familiar Faces is, it's a mod that allows your PC to show up as a NPC in your playthroughs.

Did any of you used it in the past? If so, how was the mod?

used it three times..
To put my Akemmi in a save with Adella... worked like a charm.. just got to remember it doesn't play nice with any follower mod... ie when you go to save to the "gallery" remove the follower mod.

I also used it to tweak Marcurio... that was a P.I.T.A... but I got all I wanted except the eyes... they would not stay the way I wanted them.

and Signar ( custom follower from a mod) went through "Diplomatic immunity" instead of Akemmi...

All in all it was pretty good.. once I figured some of the quirks... like not having the follower mod active when saving in the Gallery.. I'll remember more and post... gotta run!

Does this mod allows me to bring my mage character to my warrior's world and marry her, adopt children.
Or it just creates a follower that looks like your other character?

Depends on the "voice" that you use.. that has to be a voice with the Dialogue for marriage, though it may work with a voice that isn't, I never tried that.

I will probably use it again for Winter's story, cause I want Ryuu to have a particular look, I don't use it often and only for specific reasons

You get the mod to scan your character so it copies appearance and any spells, armors, weapons and perks they have on them, including stuff from mods. It "records" their quest progress by having certain decorations pop up in their alcove on the summoning chamber (which you don't have to look at if you don't want to I think) but for the most part it's just a perfect clone of that character dropped as a follower into the world with no other changes. You can also update them on the fly.

==

I'm always using it. :U

I think it works amazingly well, though in the past there have been some issues. Particularly with mods like Requiem (some advice: NEVER activate the mod until you're out of Helgen if you do the vanilla start with Requiem installed. It'll wipe out the character data you saved onto the mod and you'll have to scan them all over again.)

One thing I did notice is that the game tends to hang for a second or two every time it loads a character that isn't following you onto the cell. Of course, this experience comes from the Winterhold College courtyard, and I also have the Immersive College mod installed so it could contribute to that. This also happens to be from them walking into the cell when you're already in it.

But yeah, I have 4 characters from other saves in the world at a time. If you have them wander instead of "living" in a set place, you can even run into them out in Skyrim from time to time.

That sound great. Now the only question is if i can marry her. I don't wanna use her as follower (i wouldn't want her to blast me with her fireballs anyway).
Since i created those characters, i played them as husband and wife.
She's the reason my warrior ever attend to the first lesson at the Collage, joined the Volkihar and became a Vampire Lord. She's the reason he built a large library and picks up every book he finds (to the point he has to drop something to avoid encumbrance)...
He's the reason my mage joined the Companions and completed Dragon Rising...

Both will adopt Sofie, but first, my mage character has to come in line with my warrior character.

Yeah, that's an option in the mod. You can make them marriable or hostile if you want.

Which follower mod? I'm asking since FF said that it works best with Extensible Follower Framework.
