📋 About This Mod
If you ever hated followers and summoned creatures for triggering traps, getting both of you into a tight situation or you were trying to guide them around the pressure plates, then this mod is for you. This mod changes few base scripts and as a result your followers and summoned creatures should no longer trigger bear traps, pressure plates and trip wires.
Compatibility: - Works with all followers and summoned creatures, even those from other mods. - Works with all deadly trap mods. - Conflicts with other mods if they change the same scripts (TrapTriggerBase and TrapBear scripts). - Followers and summoned creatures might trigger traps from other mods if custom trap scripts are used by the author.
How to do a quick test to see if mod is working for you: 1. Make sure you can conjure a creature or have current follower ID selected in console. 2. Type in console (coc warehousetraps) which will get you to a cell with many traps. 3. Summon your creature or bring selected follower by typing in console (moveto player). 4. Proceed with testing.
Version 1. 3: - Incorporates USKP v2. 0. 1 fixes. Version 1. 2: - Incorporates USKP v2. 0. 0 fixes. Version 1. 1: - Added support for commanded actors (e.g. summoned creatures).

✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 28,139 endorsements and over 650k downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance—no more watching Lydia walk into every bear trap.
- Lightweight and does exactly what it says, no extra features to fiddle with.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- No mention of compatibility with other trap-related mods or script-heavy setups.

💡 Beginner Tips

- Works with any follower mod, but if you have mods that alter trap behavior, test in a dungeon with traps to ensure compatibility.
- For Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use the 'Nexus Mods' search to find a port.
