✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,972 endorsements and 66,650 downloads.
- Does exactly what it says: makes followers and animals essential, no more losing them to stray dragon breath.
- Lightweight and compatible with most setups since it only touches quest aliases.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions or DLCs.
- Makes followers truly unkillable, which can break immersion for players who want consequences.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter follower essential status or the DialogueFollower quest.
For Skyrim players who are tired of their followers dying in random fights and want a simple, permanent fix. Also for those who want their animal companions to survive anything. Skip if you prefer followers to be mortal or if you use mods that already adjust follower essentiality.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the plugin in your Skyrim Data folder and activate it in your mod manager or launcher.
- If you use other follower mods, load this one after them to ensure its changes take priority.
- This mod does not affect followers added by mods that use their own quests; only vanilla followers and animals.
