This mod is 100% compatible with any mod, including dialogue expansion mods from other authors. However, if you were already using IDE Whiterun, disable or uninstall it before installing this mod, or there will be some duplicated content.

Safe to add or update mid-save.

To recruit Olfina, there are a few conditions you must fulfill

1. Help her become disillusioned with Jon's "sweet nothing"

2. Join the Companions OR the Stormcloaks

3. Do not join the Imperials

She is available both during and after Missing in Action.

If you join the Imperials, Olfina will leave you.

There is a potential for future expansion with Olfina, including optional synergy with the overarching Shezarrine Saga
