✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Over 1,000 endorsements and 41k downloads show it's a proven, popular tool.
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just drag NPCs around.
- Perfect for setting up scenes or messing with followers.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2025—might not be compatible with future game patches.
- No detailed description means you'll have to test it to see how it handles different NPC types.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter NPC physics or movement.
This is for players who love taking screenshots or making machinima and need to position NPCs precisely. It's also great for roleplayers who want to 'drag' a stubborn follower or prisoner. If you're a modder, it could be a handy tool for testing NPC behaviors.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Try dragging a guard in a city to see how the game reacts—some NPCs might fight back or get stuck.
- Use it on followers to reposition them for better screenshots without needing console commands.
- If an NPC doesn't move, check if they're essential or scripted—those might resist.
