Marvelous Mirabelle (1.01b)

*** Mod for Skyrim Special Edition ONLY ***

Though seemly dead after her battle with Ancano, Mirabelle is alive and well at Winterhold College.  This mod allows you to recruit her as a follower once the events of the College quest line has completed and the Dragonborn has become Arch-Mage.

This mod not only overhauls Mirabelle's looks and allows you to recruit her as a follower but does so in an interesting and balanced way with several engaging follower features.  Fully voiced with enhanced Follower and Combat AI, intelligent sandboxing, casting light when dark, visual enhancements and much more!

• Mirabelle can be recruited once the player character becomes Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold.
• A mysterious note will appear in your inventory.  Once read, Mirabelle's location (at the College) will be tracked as an objective on your map.You will need to change locations (go into a different cell or area) for the note to trigger.
  
• When you approach the College grounds, an in-game message will appear, "Magic is in the Air", letting you know that she is ready to be recruited as a follower.
• Note: It might be a good idea to save and load your game after installing this mod.  Skyrim can get odd at times when modding vanilla npcs.

Features:

• Fully capable follower that uses her own Custom Follower System.She has all the standard follower features: trading, wait, follow, etc.
  She can be recruited in addition to any other followers, including other custom followers, without requiring a multiple follower mod.  Does not increase the follower count.  She will be in the Current Follower and Potential Follower Factions.
  Can be used alongside multi-follower mods but cannot be managed by them.

  Will Sandbox when Idle.  (Can be toggled via Tweaks dialog menu)This is designed somewhat like Serana or the Fallout 4 companions, where a certain amount of inactivity has to go by before she starts sandboxing.
