📋 About This Mod

First off, all credit goes to Dhuester who is the creator of this mod. I am only the one who ported it. As par of Dhuester's open source rules listed under permissions, since this mod contains more than 51% of AFT's code base, see credit section's below to view pasted permissions from Dhuester, it is of course free, and anyone has permission to modify this rendition of Amazing Follower Tweaks for Skyrim Special Edition as long as you follow Dhuester's open source rules as well. Dhuester's pasted permissions: "Feel free to extract code snippets from AFT and use them in your own mod. While credit is always appreciated, you don't need to credit to me if you only use a few scripts. So where is the line? If your derived work uses 51% or more of AFT's code base, then standard open source rules apply: Credit is required, keep it free and give others the same permission to modify YOUR work. Translations, Tweaks and GUI overhauls all fall into this later category."

What is this mod? It is a modified rendition of Amazing Follower Tweaks by Dhuester for Skyrim Special Edition. Description from original mod page: Multiple followers. Manage outfits, spells, combat style, home assignment and level up. Make werewolves or vampires lords. Followers will ride horses, make camp, avoid traps, ignore friendly fire, auto relax, auto change into standard/city/home outfit. Auto toggle helmets. Followers pose, dance, and more...

How do I use the mod? When the mod is first loaded into the game, 2 spells will appear in your magic selection. They will let you access features of this mod remotely. To, for example, summon all followers (in case they get lost), transform all werewolf/vampire lord followers, access AFT settings, etc. To access AFT for followers, simply talk to them and select the dialogue option 'Tweaks'.

Max followers: You can have a max of 5 followers at one time, I have not tested beyond that yet. Additionally, there is an option in AFT settings to limit it to 3 followers if you choose to.

Features listed from original mod page: - AI Improvements: Followers avoid/ignore traps, interact with environments, auto-toggle helmets, recharge their weapons, forgive friendly fire. And all of this is optional of coarse.
