✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with 995 endorsements and 77k downloads
- Directly addresses a common annoyance that breaks immersion
- Simple, focused mod that does one job without bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SKSE, so console players are out of luck
- May conflict with other follower overhaul mods that alter combat AI
- Last updated over a year ago, so compatibility with the latest Skyrim patches is uncertain
For Skyrim players who are tired of their followers standing around during fights. If you use follower overhauls or combat AI mods, check compatibility first. Skip if you play on console or don't want to bother with SKSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SKSE is installed and launched via the SKSE loader, not the default launcher.
- Place the mod in your load order after any follower behavior overhauls to ensure it takes priority.
- Test in a combat scenario with a follower to confirm the fix works before adding other mods.
