Upgrade instructions
1. Get him out of the control of other mods (UFO, AFT, etc) and make sure he isn't riding, waiting, relaxing, or following Vilja.
2. Save the game using the Save menu and then quit to the desktop.
3. If you previously used Inigo on Steam remember to unsubscribe from the workshop version.
4. Replace the Inigo.esp and Inigo.bsa files with the new versions.
5. For those of you who use any kind of patcher, ASIS etc, be sure to re-run your patcher.
6. Restart the game and continue from the save you made.
Step 1 is the critical part. He is completely removed from the standard game factions, if other mods (including Vilja) are still trying to affect him then they are going to get confused when he's no longer in those factions. It's fine if he is actively following you, sitting in the Riften jail, or even walking back to the jail.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community favorite with 68,466 endorsements and 1.2M downloads — this is one of the most trusted follower mods out there
- 7,000+ lines of dialogue is insane for a companion mod, and it's all about you, making every adventure feel personal
- Smart behavior like trap avoidance and sneaking etiquette shows real attention to detail
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or other mods, so check for patches
- Being a Khajiit, he might not fit every character's roleplay or aesthetic preferences
For Skyrim players who want a companion that feels like a real friend, with tons of dialogue that reacts to your actions. Perfect for immersive playthroughs and stealth characters who hate chatty followers. Skip if you prefer silent or purely mechanical companions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2016, make sure to check if you need a compatibility patch for your Skyrim version (SE/AE) or other mods like USSEP.
- Place INIGO in your load order after other mods that affect followers or dialogue to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, use the preview feature to see his appearance and stats before installing.
