📋 About This Mod
Check out Immersive Recruit Commoners (IRC) by ItsMeArka. It's the successor to this mod and has way more features.
Updated mod for e1. 8. 0. It is now a slimmed down and rewritten version that uses a different method to recruit people. Not all features are back in at the moment.
Recruit Everyone is a mod that allows you to recruit pretty much everyone that you can see as companions.
The only notable exceptions as of now are ransom brokers, arena masters, and guards.
If you want more companions, use No Companion Limit for e1. 5. 5.
There are also a few fixes made such as decreasing the elderly population and making the tavern maids younger.
Be sure to backup saves before using this mod!

Most villagers and townsfolk can be hired at a price based off of how a wanderer would be hired.
They will also earn skills and get equipment based off of companion templates.
That means you WILL need wanderer templates in order for the mod to work (need one for each gender and each culture).
In the future, I would like to find a way to balance the skills and equipment wanderers get to suit their occupation.
I have taken the time to test the mod thoroughly and all the dialog options should work, but there could be some bugs that can be found with this mod.
If there are any bugs, let me know! Also, unblock DLLs if you have issues launching the game.
The hopes of this mod is to use it side by side with other mods that interact with heroes in the game.
One goal of mine is to get the Marry Anyone mod to work alongside this mod to improve the gameplay experience.
Recruit Everyone lets you add any townsfolk, villagers, merchants, notables, and some tavern employees to your party as companions. It's a popular character mod with over 1,000 endorsements and 44,000 downloads, last updated in November 2022.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,062 endorsements and 44,278 downloads—clearly a hit.
- Opens up tons of roleplay possibilities by letting you recruit everyday NPCs.
- Lightweight and easy to understand—no bloat, just the feature it promises.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in November 2022—might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- No detailed documentation or install instructions provided by the author.
- Limited to specific NPC types—some tavern employees are excluded, so don't expect to recruit everyone.
For players who want to build a party from the world's ordinary folk, not just the scripted heroes. If you're tired of the same old companion roster and want to bring the blacksmith or the innkeeper along, this is for you. Skip it if you're looking for new quests or story content—this is purely a recruitment expansion.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's compatibility with your game version before installing, since it hasn't been updated in a while.
- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep track of it easily.
- Test recruiting a few different NPC types early to see which ones are actually recruitable.
