📋 About This Mod

Place Companions Gerbils wherever you want through Skyrim ... (Companions with Dialog Box)

ESL version (ESPFE/ESP with Record Flags ESL/ ESP tagged ESL)

Gerbils Mounts and Followers SE

To obtain these gerbils, simply buy scrolls found with some Merchants in Whiterun : Hulda at the Bannered Mare, Arcadia at the Arcadia's Cauldron, Carlotta, to spawn (You have just to open up your inventory, navigate to "Scrolls" and there they are. You throw them and when they hit the ground they hatch into creatures) a multitude of gerbils all around you ... and thus repopulate Skyrim with these animals !

In order to find the scrolls at Merchants, you must choose the mod for which you want to buy and place it at the bottom of the list when you launch the game.

Bugs or Problems

You can only have one Follower at a time: if you want a different one (in my other mods), you need to dismiss the first one before you recruit them.

If telling the follower to return at home (With message: “Your dog heads home”) doesn't dismiss him, or if you have lost the active Follower, you can try this:

Type “²” key to get into console, and type:

set playeranimalcount to 0

With Amazing Follower Tweaks or other mod with followers, if problem to dismiss the followers, you can uncheck this mod (AFT or other) in the Data Files when you launch the game

If problem with the Dialog Box of the followers/ companions (Wait - Follow - Trade - Favor - Dismiss) you can also enter / exit a house or make a fast travel

  • Decent download count (28,610) shows some interest, even if endorsements are modest.
  • Adds a unique, non-humanoid companion option for variety.

⚠️ Cons

  • Low endorsement count (39) suggests it's a niche mod with limited community validation.

  • Potential compatibility risk with mods that alter follower systems or creature spawns.
🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's ESL-flagged, you can safely add it to an existing save without worrying about mod slot limits.
