Description
LE version can be found here.
Mods like Amazing Follower Tweaks allow you to summon your followers so you don't lose them. Some modded followers though, like Inigo, don't use the vanilla follower system, and aren't summoned when you summon your followers with AFT, so I made this mod. Never lose track of your friends again!
Use the sf Mark Friends spell to add an NPC to the summon list. By default, they must like you to be added to the list. Can add up to 128 NPC's.
Use the sf Summon Friends spell to summon NPC's to you. Can summon all if you wish.
To remove an NPC from the summon list, cast the sf Mark Friends on the NPC again.
Version 1. 5 Now uses my mod Extended Vanilla Menus and Storage Util from Papyrus Util which allows you to add as many lists as you wish or remove them as you wish. To remove a list, select a list while holding the Left Shift key. You'll get a menu where you can rename or delete the list.
Versions 1. 5 and below. To customize who you can mark, type in the consol: "set sfMinimumRank to x" where x is the new rank, without the quotes.
Versions 1. 6 and above. To customize who you can mark, edit the iMinimumRelationshipRank setting in Data/Interface/MarkAndSummonNPCFriends/Settings.ini.
Also in 1. 6 you can change the iModifierKey (default 42 for left shift) and a new setting
bKeepMenuOpen. If the setting is set to 1, it will re open the summon menu again after summoning someone. Press esc or tab to exit the menu if this is set to 1.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 354 endorsements
- Handy for keeping followers close without constant babysitting
- Lightweight utility that fits into any mage or support build
⚠️ Cons
- Could conflict with other spell mods that alter the same magic effects
- May not work with custom followers that have unique AI packages

For Skyrim players who love having their favorite NPCs around but hate tracking them down. Perfect for mage characters who want a magical way to call allies. Skip if you're looking for combat overhauls or follower management systems—this is purely a summoning utility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Test the spells on a generic NPC first to see how they behave in combat.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Remember that summoned NPCs might not follow through doors—use the spell in open areas.
