Simple Follower Framework

Simple Follower Framework

Simple Follower Framework is a SKSE follower framework that allows you to have up to 8 vanilla followers. This mod does not add a custom follower system. It does not replace the vanilla follower quest. It just extends the limit and keeps vanilla behavior.

This mod does not touch any modded followers with their own system (Inigo, Lucien, Remiel, etc) and never will. That is out of this mod's scope. So this mod will not conflict or touch those mods.

What this mod does

• []Lets you recruit more than one vanilla follower.[/]

  []The max follower cap can be adjusted in "SimpleFollowerFramework.ini" by editing "iMaxFollowers."[/]

  []Perk Based Follower Locking: You can make each owned perk unlock one extra follower slot, up to 8 followers.[/]

  []Essential Followers: Flags the followers that are in the 'CurrentFollowerFaction' as Essential."[/]

  Why this mod is a thing:

  I wanted a lightweight follower framework that handled the basics without being buggy. I couldn't find one, so I made my own using SKSE.

    Configuration

    "iMaxFollowers": This is your total follower cap, including the normal vanilla slot. Up-to 8. For Example:

    • []iMaxFollowers=1 - Vanilla behavior (one follower).[/]

      []iMaxFollowers=4 - You can have up to four vanilla followers at once.[/]

      "bFollowerOptionSelector": Follower Perk Option Selector

      • []bFollowerOptionSelector=0 - Option 1: Feature is turned off, and it will use iMaxFollowers.[/]

        []bFollowerOptionSelector=1 - Option 2: Use perk list to add follower slots (ignores iMaxFollowers)[/]

        []bFollowerOptionSelector=2 - Option 3: Follower slots scale with player Speech skill (ignores iMaxFollowers and sPerkForms)[/]

      "iSpeechLevelsPerSlot": Follower Perk Option Selector
      • []This determines how many Speech levels are needed to unlock each extra follower slot.[/]

        []Default is 10 (Speech 0-9 = 1 follower, 10-19 = 2, 20-29 = 3 ... 79+ = 8)[/]

      "sPerkForm": This is only used when "bFollowerOptionSelector"=1
