About this mod Machine translation
Lively Followers
by PrinceShroob
"Comfortable Followers - Make your companions like Serana"
If you stand still, the follower will explore the surrounding area on its own, but will keep a certain distance from you (about 10 meters).
In addition, if you ask them to wait, they will move freely within the range, repair equipment, eat, sleep, or otherwise interact.
This MOD has no text and does not require Chinese translation. It is theoretically valid for all followers that can be recruited, including companions added by the MOD.
Known interactions:
Walk around, eat food, drink water, applaud in the tavern, sweep the floor indoors, mine at the mineral veins, chop wood next to the firewood pile, use the forging bench, use the repair bench, use the furnace, use the knife sharpener, use the leatherworking stand, sit on the seat, soak in the hot spring, lie down at the door of the Morning Star Sanctuary...
The following is the author’s original words
DESCRIPTION:
Followers will explore the area on their own if you bore them by not moving for a while, like Serana does. Also, when you tell them to wait, they’ll explore as well, and perhaps eat or sleep.
REQUIREMENTS:
A working copy of the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
INSTALLATION:
Place the contents of the.7z file in your "Data" folder, which is usually located under Steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim.
The ReadMe document and the.bsl file are not required for the mod to run -- you may keep them or discard them.
UNINSTALLATION:
Enter "StopQuest PSFollowerIdleExplore" into the console (sans quotation marks), wait a moment (until "sqv PSFollowerIdleExplore" indicates the quest has stopped) to end the quest and stop it from running updates.
Then you may delete the included.esp and.bsa file.
The nature of Skyrim’s scripting language, Papyrus, means that, even following this procedure, your Papyrus log will continue to throw errors about missing scripts, potentially leading to save game bloat. There is, lamentably, nothing that I can do about this -- you have been warned.
UPDATING:
Replace all older files with newer versions. If in doubt, replace all mod files with the contents of the latest uploaded archive.
No in-game configuration is necessary.
BUGS:
As of yet, none.
COMPATIBILITY:
This mod will not work with any mod that entails allowing one to recruit multiple followers. I have, however, received reports that some multiple follower mods do work with this mod but only affect the first-recruited follower.
Other than the above cases, this mod will be compatible with practically any other mod.
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.
