About this mod:
F4SE plugin, which fixes an oversight in the follower path AI that would cause companions to immediately turn away or walk away when a player started approaching them.
Notice:
- The plugin doesn't change anything else, it just makes sure this doesn't happen, only this doesn't happen
- So they follow the player and move around like normal
- This may be an oversight in movement calculations, i.e. players don't do this when they don't walk directly towards them
- All companions use the same hard-coded following AI, not just the vanilla AI
- Player distance and companion affinity do not affect this issue, any small player movement in their direction will trigger it

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
