📋 About This Mod

Attend Me is great, but it can be improved. That's why I'm presenting to you Best Friends Forever - performant and modernized alternative to Attend Me with extra flair!

  • []Maximum efficiency - mod does practically nothing if you don't have any followers. And even when you do get them, performance impact is kept to a minimum[/]

    []Follower status HUD with:

    []Current and total health, magicka and fatigue[/]

    []Equipped weapon, spell, disease or the lack of them[/]

[/]

[]Followers teleport to you if they get unloaded[/]

[]Followers speed up to catch up to you[/]

[]Immortal followers:

  • []Instead of dying, followers get knocked down for some time[/]

    []Summoned creatures and followers under any Command effect die as usual instead of being knocked down. Command effects on already downed actors don't do anything, though[/]

    []Enemies switch aggro from the follower to you[/]

    []Knocked down followers lose aggro, so this can be also used as more punishing alternative to Friendlier Fire's aggro prevention[/]

[/]

[]Keybind to teleport all your followers to you[/]

Compatibility

Safe to install or update mid-playthrough.

When removing the mod, make sure no follower is currently downed and they don't have a speed boost.

Should be compatible with anything.

It is technically compatible with Attend Me, but they should not be used together.

Supported edge case mods:

  • []Loafy's Necromancy - Reanimate Dead by TheLoafyOne[/]

    []Water Life by abot[/]

    []Inquisitive Guards by RubberMan[/]

    []Morrowind Comes Alive by Neoptolemus and Morrowind community[/]

Requirements

Load BFF as high as possible in the load order - before any mods that might alter melee damage calculations.

  • []Follower Detection Util - Load before BFF[/]

Recommended Mods

  • []Friendlier Fire[/]
