✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 420 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads
- Taps into vanilla systems, so it's likely lightweight and compatible
- Adds a new tactical layer for stealth builds
⚠️ Cons
- Limited to stealth commands only—no other follower AI improvements
- May conflict with other mods that alter follower behavior or the Favor system
- No detailed feature list, so you'll need to test in-game to see all it does
For stealth-focused Skyrim players who want their followers to actually participate in sneak attacks instead of just watching. If you're a stealth archer or assassin who likes commanding a crew, this is for you. Skip if you want broader follower overhauls—this is purely about stealth kills.
💡 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.
