=== Details ===

- Increased max followers to 5

I could have made it more, but there are too many small interiors and doorways that start to feel really cramped if you play with too many followers. I personally prefer no more than 3, but I bumped it up to 5 due to popular demand.

- AI Improvements:

Followers avoid/ignore traps, interact with environments, auto-toggle helmets, recharge their weapons, forgive friendly fire. And all of this is optional of coarse.

- Control Follower Outfits

(version 1. 6) When managing follower outfits, followers receive a backpack. Then you can assign whatever items and weapons you want them to use and put everything else in the backpack. AFT includes 3 configurable outfits. An outfit is simply a list of items from the backpack. There is a standard list, an in-city list and an in-home list. When changing areas, AFT will automatically transfer items to and from the backpack so that your follower automatically equips the pre-configured outfits.

Feel free to create your outfit out of your favorite custom mod items.

- Teach Followers new spells:

Aft supports two spell types: Regular Spells and Tweak Spells. You can teach a follower either type by equipping known spells and selecting the appropriate option from the magic menu.

Regular spells are handled by the games standard combat AI. However you may also create up to 4 "Tweak" Spells that can be customized to cast under certain conditions on certain players. This is especially handy for creating cleric type characters.
