📋 About This Mod
Follower Tweaks
Requirements:
Lonesome Road
Description
This mod simply fixes a few things I found annoying about followers:
- []Changes ED-E's Enhanced Sensors perk to give an accuracy increase instead of the annoying increase to compass range. []Replaces Boone's Spotter perk with Trained Rifleman - an increase to damage with rifle grip guns. []Replaces Rex's Search and Mark perk with Man's Best Friend - an increase to AP regen. []Removes the ANNOYING sounds the ED-Es make when they move.
That's pretty much all there is to say in terms of what the mod does. Of course, there will be conflicts with other mods which edit the same perks, etc. Nothing a simply drag and drop FNVEdit patch won't fix. This mod edits no actor records.
Installation
This mod requires the Lonesome Road official DLC.
Uninstallation
This mod can be safety uninstalled at any time and will have no permanent effects on your game.

- Perk rebalances make stealth and targeting more useful
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so may have compatibility issues with newer mods or game patches
- Only affects specific perks and ED-E, so if you don't use those, this mod does little for you
For Fallout: New Vegas players who love having followers but hate their quirks, especially ED-E's noise. Also for stealth builds that want better Spotter and Search and Mark perks. Skip if you rarely use followers or prefer more comprehensive follower overhauls.
