✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 2.2M downloads and 959 endorsements
- Fills a real gap: AE pets are mostly useless in fights, this fixes that
- Simple concept, big impact: your pets actually contribute now
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Anniversary Edition pets, not other creature followers
- Last updated in September 2025, but no compatibility notes for future patches
For Skyrim Anniversary Edition players who love having pets but hate that they're just decoration. If you want your furry (or scaly) friends to actually fight alongside you, this is a must-have. Skip if you're on the base game or don't use AE pets.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Anniversary Edition content installed, since this mod only affects those pets.
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate; if manual, drop the files into your Data folder.
- Check your load order to ensure Menagerie loads after any other pet-related mods.
