📋 About This Mod

Makes followers and almost any NPC move back farther and quicker than in the vanilla game (unless they are "too important").

Also makes followers stay a bit closer, especially through doors. If you don't like this feature just remove that line from the .toml.

No ESP, uses Game Settings Override SKSE Plugin and config file that can be tweaked. If you don't like the settings, change them in the .toml file.

Can be installed/uninstalled at any time.

NOTE: All of the settings made by this mod with the exception of the "Follow Me Closer" one are already included in the Unofficial Skyrim Modders Patch, so if you already have that in your load order and aren't interested in the "Follow Me Closer" part this mod would be redundant. Many follower framework mods also modify some of these settings.

  • Simple tweak that just works; 78 endorsements from a niche audience

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects follower spacing, not other follower AI quirks
  • Requires SKSE and the Game Settings Override plugin, so it's not for console players
  • May conflict with other mods that alter follower AI or game settings
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who are tired of followers crowding them or getting stuck in doorways. If you want a quick, no-fuss fix for follower spacing without overhauling follower AI, this is for you. Skip if you're on console or want more comprehensive follower behavior changes.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure SKSE is installed and launched via the SKSE loader, not the vanilla launcher, or the mod won't work.
  • If you use a mod manager, install the mod through it to keep your Data folder clean and avoid manual file placement errors.
  • Check your load order—this mod has no ESP, so it should work regardless of position, but ensure the Game Settings Override plugin is up to date.
