COMPANION SONIA v2.0 INSTALLATION/UNISTALLATION

3Play.

ATTENTION!!!

You will have to reboot and create a clean savegame if you want to update a previous version.

5.Install Sonia 2.01
7.Follow the Quest to meet her again. 
6.Play

Unistall Sonia v2.01

Use the "UnistallSonia.exe" located in your data folder.



INCOMBATIBILITY:

It should be compatible with almost any known mod untill now.
Her machine ID is "A909Sonia"

KNOWN ISSUES/BUGS:

1.Don't try to access her invertory while she is riding her horse. The game will crash.
2.Sent her home before closing an oblivion gate or it is very possible that her inventory will be reseted.
3.You will deal with a short delay while you will try to access Sonia's control menu in the end of the introduction stage.
  Nothing to worry about. It will get back to work after a few seconds.
4.Always incloude a dress or other casual clothes if you "fast travel" or she will show up naked. That's a minor issue, resault of the "duplicated body" fix. I will release a "solution" as soon as I have a stable one.
 (Let me know if there is anything else I missed....)
