📋 About This Mod
This is a simple mod that changes a few things real quick to make followers and almost any NPC move back farther than in the vanilla game. The circumstances when this does not happen is if an NPC is "too important" to be moved back.
Move it Dammit is a lightweight Skyrim Special Edition mod that increases the distance followers and most NPCs maintain when backing away from the player, preventing them from crowding your space. It's a simple quality-of-life tweak for players who find vanilla NPC proximity annoying, with over 8,600 endorsements and 1.2 million downloads.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 8,617 endorsements and 1.2 million downloads
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just fixes a common annoyance
- Works for followers and most NPCs, so your space stays clear
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim SE patches
- No detailed instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author
- Some 'important' NPCs are unaffected, so you might still get crowded in quest scenes
For Skyrim players who hate when followers or NPCs stand too close and block your view or movement. If you're tired of Fus Ro Dah-ing your own followers to get them to back off, this is for you. Skip if you want more complex follower behavior changes—this only adjusts distance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager (like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2) and place it near the end of your load order to ensure it overrides any other NPC distance mods.
- If you're using Skyrim SE with the latest Creation Club updates, test in a crowded area like Whiterun to confirm the mod still works—since it's from 2016, it might need a patch.
- This mod only affects how far NPCs back away; it won't change their walking speed or pathing, so don't expect it to fix other follower AI quirks.
