📋 About This Mod
This is CFEE - Companion Features Expanded & Enhanced. This is a mod that aims to make the overall experience of having companions a far more enjoyable, immersive and streamlined one, whilst still remaining true to the vanilla intentions.
This mod is a rebuild of the CFEE mod I built in 2021, with most of the code completely rewritten to make for a much more stable and efficient experience, with endless bug fixes and new features.
This current build of CFEE REQUIRES TTW. At this stage, TTW is a requirement for the mod. A Non-TTW backport may come in the future, and if anyone would wish to create one I am happy to lend both my approval and support.

Companion Synergies
Companion Synergies are bonus perks that the player will unlock if they have a certain combination of companions in their party at the same time; they will lose this perk when they no longer have the required companions in their party. There are currently 62 Synergy perks available - with a .txt file available for download if you want to know what they all are
Romance Overhaul
There are now several changes to how sex and romance work - having sex with any NPC will grant the player the Good Time bonus, increasing CHR and LCK by 1 and granting a small amount of health regen. If they have sex with an NPC they are in a romance with, they will be given the Lover's Embrace bonus, instead increasing all SPECIAL stats by 1 and granting a higher amount of health regen. Once the player enters a romance, they will be granted a special perk which is unique to the NPC they are in a romance with. The player can be in only one romance at a time unless they have the Polyamorous trait, which will allow unlimited relationships but will prevent the player receiving their lover's romance perk or the Lover's Embrace bonus. Currently, there are 6 characters the player can start a romance with:
