📋 About This Mod
This mod is designed to help finding followers easier. There are two versions of the mod:
1. The standard Follower Map Marker mod:
Every follower has a "Get Map Marker" dialogue option that starts a quest in the miscellaneous section of your quest journal. These can be toggled on and off. This version tends to be glitchy at times, as some follower's dialogue are rather tricky. Its recommended you use the beacon version as well for a backup. This won't work if you want to mark a 3rd party follower, such as from a mod.
2. Beacon Version:
This version adds a 'Beacon' which is an object located in the Riverwood trader, once picked up, you can place it in any follower's inventory or even a horse if you have the required mod. A single quest is created in the miscellaneous section and can be toggled on and off.
Both versions are designed to work separately as well as together.
It's recommended you download the 'Follower Map Markers Complete Pack' from the files section, as it offers both versions, as well as DLC addons for the main mod.
If you downloaded and installed the main mod, a message should appear when loaded that explains how to use the mod. To add a follower, find them and choose the 'Get Map Marker' option in their dialogue. If you cant find your follower, or cant get to them, then use the console command 'Setstage "followers name"mapmarker 0'. An example is shown here:
setstage lydiamapmarker 0 setstage mjollmapmarker 0 setstage brelynamapmarker 0
For the Beacon version, find it in the Riverwood Trader upstairs. Read the book next to it, and pick up the beacon. This will create a quest in the miscellaneous section in your quest journal; just put it in a followers inventory.
The main mod will NOT be compatible with any follower not in the vanilla game, such as 3rd party followers from mods. The main mod is generally glitchy and some followers won't be marked if they don't exist in the game world yet.
The beacon version of the mod will work with any follower, as it's an item that is placed in the inventory.
