If dialog options do not immediately appear, save your game (not an autosave or a quicksave) and exit. Dialog options should then appear. If anyone has a good idea why this doesn't just work PM me.
About: p0MWXyXinCY Instead of just staring at you (or a wall, a BethSoft tradition) let your followers do stuff. They will wander around, sit, eat, even sleep if it is night and there is an unowned bed around. There is no time limit on this.
Followers can Relax is a Skyrim mod that lets your followers stop staring at walls and actually do things: wander, sit, eat, and sleep in unowned beds at night. It's a simple quality-of-life improvement for players who want more immersive follower behavior, with no time limit on the relaxing. Highly popular with over 12,000 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community approval with 12,688 endorsements and nearly half a million downloads.
- Adds simple, immersive behavior without complex scripts or heavy performance impact.
- Works passively—no need to micromanage followers.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or other follower mods.
- Behavior is random and may not trigger exactly when you want it to.
For Skyrim players who want their followers to feel more alive without overhauling the entire follower system. If you're tired of your companions staring at walls, this is a lightweight fix. Skip if you're looking for deep follower management features—this is purely ambient behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after other follower mods to avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep your load order clean.
- Test in a safe area like Whiterun to see the new behaviors before heading into combat.
