✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 576 endorsements and over 60k downloads—clearly a popular pick.
- SPID-based design means it plays nice with other mods, which is a huge plus for modded playthroughs.
- Simple concept that adds a cool, lore-friendly twist to the Companions without overhauling the game.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the three Inner Circle members—if you wanted all Companions to transform, this won't do that.
- The transformation only triggers at low health, so you might rarely see it in normal combat unless you're struggling.
- Since it's tied to SPID, you'll need to make sure SPID is installed and up to date, or the mod won't work.
For Skyrim players who want a bit more werewolf flavor in the Companions questline without a big overhaul. If you're running a modded setup with SPID already, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes—this is a subtle immersion tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the SPID version, make sure SPID is installed and updated, or the mod won't trigger.
- The non-SPID version is a direct drop-in, but you'll need to manage load order manually—place it after other mods that affect the Companions.
- Test the transformation by lowering your follower's health in combat—it's easiest to see with a low-level enemy.
