💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure your follower is actually sneaking with you—the command may only work when both of you are hidden.
  • Test the ranged sneak attack command with a bow-wielding follower to see if it works with their AI.
  • If you use other follower mods, load FSKF after them to avoid overwriting changes.
