📋 About This Mod

This is an automagic way of setting your companions to follow a bit closer.  It is based off the work of MarleyTBlake and their mod Closer followers - Followers stay closer and match your speed.  The difference between their bat script and this file is that this file does not require running a bat file either manually or through your StarfieldCustom.ini file.

INSTALLATION

  • []MO2: Just download and install, it will automatically go where it belongs.

    []Manual: Extract the 7z file using 7-Zip into the <Steam library>\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data folder

    REQUIREMENTS

    • []Console Command Runner

      []Starfield Script Extender (SFSE)

      IMPORTANT NOTE

      Whenever Starfield is updated, both of the required files for this mod will need to be updated. This file will continue to work after both SFSE and CCR are updated.
