📋 About This Mod
If you downloaded version 0. 4a (21-22 august), you will experience crashes when starting the game (Install the newer version currently available, and re-run FNIS)
Description This mod lets your follower ride with you on your horse, behind the saddle. That is pretty much it. After installing, you will be given a Horse Medaillion which you can give to your follower. When you do so, they will sit behind you when you mount up. (They don't have to actually wear the medaillion)
Your follower will dismount together with you. If you teleport into a city, the follower comes along (without the horse of course). Your follower will also dismount when you draw your weapon. A few seconds after you sheathe the weapon, they will remount.
You can craft more Horse Medaillions for your followers at the forge.
Issues This mod pulls a couple of nasty dirty tricks to make this work. This is still an early release, you may have a few strange glitches when riding but nothing that will break or crash your game. Main known issues are:
- []Sometimes your horse will fly off a little after teleporting (with you on it). To fix: hang on tight and just ride around a little.[]If you use AFT and your follower uses the Gear management option, add the medaillion to their Default gear, not to their backpack.
Installation
- []Let your mod manager handle the install, or unzip the package to your game's data folder []The load order for this mod isn't critical. (If you use LOOT to manage the load order of your mods, run that now) []Run FNIS
Compatibility This mod is NOT compatible with any follower who have their own horse, or with mods like Convenient Horses that provide horses for followers. You can safely install this mod if you have follower mouns, just be careful to whom you give the Horse Medallion. []Anna NPCs: If you want one of Anna's followers to mount up with you, be sure to disable their summoned horse in the MCM menu for Anna NPCs. You can do this for each follower separately. [*]Convenient Horses: Only give the medallion to a follower whom you haven't given a horse yet. If they already have a horse, you will need to kill it (do not disable it in the console) befor
