📋 About This Mod
WARNING: It is NOT recommended to use more than one of these mods, thats WHY they are separated.
So I finished my TES5 esm/esp reader/writer and decided I would completely automate my previous mod:
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2081
And make it apply to ALL followers, so here they are, they come in 3 flavors with all combinations.
Legend:
E - Essential - Sets the NPC/Follower to Essential so they don\'t die.
WA - Wear Anything - Removes the NPC\'s default \"Outfit\" allowing you to equip them with anything when they are following you
WFC - Wear Fine Clothing - Makes all followers default to Fine Clothing as opposed to the Steel Armor, or Nothing if using WA
LCR - Level Cap Removed - Removes the pesky level 50 maximum level for followers
Warning: When you relieve companions of their service WITH \"WA\" they default to their outfit, which in this case is now nothing, so your companion (while not with you) will appear naked (if you have nude mods). Only while accompanying you will they be equip with what you give them.
Installation:
NMM - Installation should be fairly simple, download and install
Manual - Extract ESP to Data directory
Add \"bEnableFileSelection=1\" under your \"\" section in \"SkyrimPrefs.ini\" if it is not already there.

🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want to dress their followers in any outfit, make them unkillable, or let them keep leveling past the cap. If you're tired of followers dying or stuck with default gear, this is a simple fix. Skip if you want deeper follower AI or relationship overhauls — this is purely mechanical tweaks.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2011, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition — you may need to convert the mod or find a compatible version.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of the optional files and avoid overwriting other follower mods.
- If you want followers to wear better armor, combine this with a mod that improves follower AI so they actually equip the best gear you give them.
