📋 About This Mod
Fixes the engine bug that makes followers freeze up behind you, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes for good until you walk far enough away. Root cause fix, not a band-aid, so no more standing there turning their head. Stranded
Keep Up - Follower Locomotion Fix addresses the engine bug where followers freeze behind the player, sometimes permanently until distance is gained. It applies a root cause fix rather than a temporary workaround, eliminating the head-turning behavior. For Skyrim players frustrated by stuck followers, this is a targeted solution with strong community support.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,830 endorsements and 146,889 downloads.
- Targets a common annoyance directly—no more frozen followers blocking doorways.
- Root cause fix means it's a permanent solution, not a temporary workaround.
⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses follower locomotion, so it won't fix other follower AI quirks.
- Potential compatibility issues with mods that alter follower AI or movement.
- Requires testing with your mod list to ensure no conflicts with follower overhauls.
For Skyrim players who are tired of followers freezing mid-walk and breaking immersion. If you use follower mods that tweak AI, you'll want to test this carefully. Skip if you're happy with vanilla follower behavior or don't use followers often.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager and place it low in your load order to avoid conflicts.
- Test with a follower in a dungeon to see the fix in action—walk ahead and watch them follow smoothly.
- If you use mods like Amazing Follower Tweaks, check for patches or load order notes.
