✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 4,688 endorsements and over 90k downloads.
- Unique feature: lets you have a child follower without sacrificing your main follower slot.
- Simple concept that works with vanilla follower mechanics—no complex scripts to worry about.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013—likely incompatible with Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches.
- May conflict with other mods that alter follower systems or child NPC behaviors.
For Skyrim players who want a unique companion experience and don't mind the ethical implications of having child followers. Also for completionists who want to recruit every NPC possible. Skip if you're playing Skyrim Special Edition or want a more polished follower mod with custom dialogue.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check for a compatible version or use a mod that ports it—this one is from 2013 and may not work directly.
- Since this mod doesn't use the follower slot, you can test it by recruiting a child and then a regular follower to see if both follow you.
- Make sure to load this mod before any mods that overhaul follower systems to avoid conflicts.
