📋 About This Mod
If you ever hated followers and summoned creatures for triggering traps, getting both of you into a tight situation or you were trying to guide them around the pressure plates, then this mod is for you. This mod changes few base scripts and as a result your followers and summoned creatures should no longer trigger bear traps, pressure plates and trip wires.
Compatibility: - Works with all followers and summoned creatures, even those from other mods. - Works with all deadly trap mods. - Conflicts with other mods if they change the same scripts (TrapTriggerBase and TrapBear scripts). - Followers and summoned creatures might trigger traps from other mods if custom trap scripts are used by the author.
How to do a quick test to see if mod is working for you: 1. Make sure you can conjure a creature or have current follower ID selected in console. 2. Type in console (coc warehousetraps) which will get you to a cell with many traps. 3. Summon your creature or bring selected follower by typing in console (moveto player). 4. Proceed with testing.
