  • Pets are purely cosmetic—no combat or utility, so if you want a fighting companion, this isn't it
  • No new pet behaviors or interactions beyond following you
  • Last updated in 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods
🎯 Is This For You?

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's an ESL plugin, it won't count against your mod limit—place it anywhere in your load order, but ideally after other follower mods.
  • Use the in-game spell or power to summon and dismiss pets; check the mod's description on the Nexus for exact instructions if you're unsure.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, deploy the mod and enable it—no extra patches needed for most setups.
