📋 About This Mod

I have combined most of all my old mods into 1 category, so that it is easier for me to update to future game versions and tend to the bugs. This mod hopes to expand on interactions with companions so that they are much more worth keeping for your role-playing needs.

Please read the mod requirements before downloading!

Spawn Wanderers At Taverns (Configurable)

Integrated from More Companions For My Tavern, you can now customize the number of wanderers to spawn per tavern! Comes with a refresh button in the mod configuration menu in case you want to see new faces. Disable auto-refresh if you have mods that improve wanderers' skill over time so that they don't get removed from the game!

Spawn Wanderers At Taverns - Unique Wanderers

By using this mod's wanderer spawning method, you can configure it to spawn wanderers that are of different types. No more duplicates!

Just a caution though, the base game has limited wanderer templates. Which means if this feature is enabled, the amount of wanderers generated will be way lesser than when disabled, unless you have mods that add new wanderer templates.

Wanderers In Town

Wanderers now walk around the town instead of staying in the tavern! Spawn more wanderers per town to see a livelier town! Initially Companions In Town

Wanderers Request To Join Your Party

Integrated from More Hero Interactions, wanderers will ask to join your party and become your companion whenever you visit settlements that has wanderers. Compatible with other mods that add wanderers to other locations apart from taverns/cities.

Recruit Your Companions To Your Family

Integrated from More Hero Interactions, you can now ask your companions to join your family and become your child/sibling!

Disown Your Children
