📋 About This Mod
I now accept donations on my website!
It can be tough to manage all my followers, as I always end up getting a lot of them. It's hard to know: who is a follower, how many do I have, how can I easily switch one out for another, where can I find them, and why can't I have more? In order to handle all the followers, I knew I needed to use a follower framework, a mod that manages multiple followers at a time. But what mods are available? How many do they allow? How well do they manage my followers? And to what extent? With all the quirks of managing, outfitting, cloning, resurrecting, and more, I realized that I really wanted something that can handle a lot of followers. So I set out to make:
NPC Party
a pool of 1024 members
up to 16 followers at a time
clones of humanoid NPCs
a pack per member to carry your items
multiple outfits per member you can customize
horses for your followers to ride
settings to fine tune your experience
dialogue commands
an MCM menu
numerous hotkeys
settlers who will live where you tell them to
immobile members who will stay where they are
warriors, mages, archers, cowards, and classless teammates
mortal, protected, essential, or invulnerable followers
and thralls to sustain vampire players
they can be renamed to whatever you want
summoned to wherever you are
moved out of the way
made into mannequins to show off your armor
displayed on command
and they level as you level
Skyrim SE 1. 5. 97+
SKSE 2. 0. 17+
SkyUI 5. 2SE+
Members and Followers
A member is an NPC that is managed by the framework, and a follower is an active member who will travel with you and fight for you. You can have up to 1024 members and 16 followers at a time. Whenever you please, you can switch out followers for other members by using the MCM menu. No longer will you have to go searching for a lost follower! It's as easy as clicking a few buttons and they will come to you.
Cloning NPCs allows for less conflicts with other mods and even vanilla Skyrim. Though a clone can still cause conflicts, by using them this framework changes more while altering original NPCs less. Additionally, cloning an exact lookalike of a generic NPC, such as a town guard or bandit, is now
NPC Party is a Skyrim Special Edition follower framework that lets you manage up to 1024 members and 16 active followers. It offers cloning, outfits, horses, MCM settings, hotkeys, and various follower types, making it a robust tool for players who want extensive companion control.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 216 endorsements and over 5,400 downloads.
- Massive capacity: 1024 members and 16 followers is way more than most frameworks.
- Deep customization: outfits, horses, renaming, and follower types cover a lot of playstyles.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE versions or AE.
- Requires SKSE and SkyUI, which adds setup steps and potential version conflicts.
- With so many features, expect a learning curve to get everything configured.
For Skyrim players who love having a small army of followers and want granular control over their companions. Also great for vampire players who need thralls. Skip if you prefer a lightweight follower system or play on the latest Skyrim version without modding.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage the mod and its dependencies.
- Make sure your Skyrim SE version matches the required 1.5.97, or the mod may not work.
- Check the MCM menu after installing to set hotkeys and tweak follower limits to your liking.
