Friendly Enemy is a Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition mod that lets you turn any enemy into a friendly follower. The NPC is not made essential, so they can die, but you can resurrect them unlimited times. A simple utility for players who want to recruit former foes.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 215 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Simple concept that adds a new way to recruit followers.
- Unlimited resurrection means you don't lose your new friend permanently.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is cut off, so you might not know all the details until you try it.
- No mention of compatibility with other follower or magic mods, so test carefully.
- The mod doesn't make NPCs essential, so they can die in combat and need resurrecting.
For Skyrim players who want to turn enemies into followers without complex quests or dialogue. If you enjoy recruiting unique NPCs and don't mind managing their mortality, this is for you. Skip if you want deep follower management or story integration.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) installed if required by other mods, but this mod may not need it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of your load order.
- Test the spell on a low-level enemy first to see how the follower AI behaves.
