📋 About This Mod

What This Mod Does

Similar to when followers go into a bleedout state when they lose their hp, this mod makes it so that the player also goes into bleedout state when you lose all your hp. When you go down, your follower will try to revive you similar to how you can stimpak followers. I made this mod also compatible with the Unlimited Companion Framework mod so that if you have more than one follower with you, they will try to revive each other when they go down as well.

How the System Works

If you have any followers with you, you will not instantly die when you go down, they will come and try to get you back up. Revive time can be configured to be be 2, 5 or 10 seconds. Your follower is susceptible to enemy fire and can go down when reviving you so try not to die in the middle of a bunch of raiders. If they do go down when reviving you, the game will end unless you have more followers available to help.

If you have more than one follower, they will attempt to revive each other if someone goes down.

The amount of health you get after a revive can be configured from the settings holotape.

The game will end if all your followers and you are down.

Only one follower can be reviving at a single time.

Dogmeat cannot help you or others get back up.

Radiation deaths are fatal and you cannot be revived.

(Optional setting) You will die after being down for 60 seconds without any help.

(Optional setting) Followers will need to have a stimpak in their inventories to be able to rescue you or each other. The game can end if they don't have any stimpaks in their inventories when you go down.

Setting Options

Upon installing the mod you should receive a settings holotape. If not, you can craft one at any chem station.

  • []Stimpaks needed? - Do your followers need a stimpak in their inventories to be able to revive you or each other?

    []Max time for player bleedout - How long will the game wait for you to be revived by your follower before you die.

    []Team status messages - Pop up notifications telling you when a follower is down or revived.

    [](Non survival only) Followers out of combat recovery? - Whether followers can recover from being down by themselves when the player is no longer in combat (similar to vanilla game).

    []Revive timer - How long the revive process takes, the longer the more vulnerable your follower is to taking damage while reviving you.

    []Revive health percentage - How much HP percentage (after rads) you recover after being revived.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 2,716 endorsements and over 105k downloads—clearly fills a need.
  • Simple concept that solves a common annoyance: dying and reloading because your follower couldn't help.
  • Works well with multiple followers, making it great for players who run with a full entourage.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in February 2022—might have compatibility issues with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
  • No detailed instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author, so you're on your own if something conflicts.
  • The mod's functionality is limited to revival—if you're looking for deeper follower AI changes, this isn't it.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who run with followers and hate dying to a random arrow, only to reload a save. Also great for those who use multiple followers and want them to support each other. Skip if you prefer a hardcore experience where death is permanent or if you want more complex follower behavior.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to load this mod after any follower overhaul mods to avoid conflicts.

  • Test in a small fight first to see how the revival mechanic works—it might have a cooldown or require a certain distance.
