📋 About This Mod
Version: 2. 9. 0
Also works with pet from Accessory Companions or its Legends version
Description:
I have been quite fed up with BB AI so i make this, a completely different thing from it last version. No more simple commands to control pets, everything is under your control now. It's kinda op, since player can do thing no AI can do. But there is some notable things when you use Accessory Companions mod or Legends:
- Why there are some skills don't have description? Why this skill icon don't turn gray when i can't use it? There a tons of skill and i don't want to run through a tedious process to add those icons or description, after all those skills aren't for player so nothing weird when BB devs don't add those info.
- Can this mod work on summoned units from legends skills? No, just simply no.
- Can i control raised wiedergangers/skeletons from legends skills or AC book? No, maybe in the future when i have time for that
