📋 About This Mod
Companions Never Lose Affinity
A simple but effective mod that prevents companions from losing affinity for the player. Any dialog or actions the player takes that they don't like will no longer lower their affinity for you. Note that committing evil deeds in front of them like killing peaceful NPC's will still provoke a shocked response, they will still demand you explain yourself, but your affinity value that tracks progress towards becoming an ally/romantic partner will not be affected.
The mod works by ignoring in-game affinity modifiers (found at 00005ACA and 00005ACB) if they are below 0. Positive modifiers will still work, such as "Sarah liked that" and "Sarah loved that". Affinity can still INCREASE, just not decrease.
