A quality-of-life mod for Skyrim's Companions questline, fixing the Underforge werewolf bug and adding various tweaks. With 8,654 endorsements and 2.9M downloads, it's a popular fix for a frustrating issue. Last updated in 2019, so it's stable but may need compatibility checks.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 8,654 endorsements and 2.9M downloads—this is a must-have for Companions fans.
- Fixes a genuinely annoying bug that can softlock the questline, saving you from reloading old saves.
- Lightweight and focused—doesn't overhaul the whole faction, just fixes what's broken.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or other mods.
- Only tweaks the Companions questline, so if you want a full faction overhaul, this isn't it.
- No detailed changelog or documentation provided, so you're trusting the mod's reputation over specifics.
For Skyrim players who've been burned by the Companions questline bug and want a clean fix. Also for modders who want a stable, community-approved tweak without extra bloat. Skip if you're looking for a full Companions overhaul or if you're on a modlist that already patches this.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no special load order needed, but place it after other quest mods.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or if you need to convert it—since it's from 2019, it might be for Oldrim.
- If you're already past the Underforge part, the fix won't retroactively unstick NPCs—you'll need to reload a save before that point.
