For the sake of everyone's sanity, someone from Steam posted this comment that I thought you guys should be aware of:
"That being said, Follower Pack III has some SERIOUS issues, which I believe stem from Deltri. Part of his AI package involves going to the Temple of Kynareth, and the mod also mucks with a bench there. The problem is, for whatever reason, modifying ANYTHING in the temple seems to make massive amounts of NPCs and/or monsters spawn inside the temple. With my old loadout, every single NPC from the Wyrmstoth mod spawned inside the temple; with my current loadout, it gets filled with Dreugh and Mudcrabs, the former being introduced by Immersive Creatures. I still have no idea what causes these issues, but until they're fixed I've had to make do with packs I and II."
I can vouch that my 300+ hour save has this bug, causing Helgen Reborn NPCs to just spawn in the temple and do nothing. I cannot claim that this mod is the culprit though.
This mod is definitely the culprit. It modifies a few of the standard AI packages, and one in particular that is supposed to make NPCs sandbox near their editor location has been changed for some reason to make them sandbox in the Temple of Kynareth cell. That AI package is used by a whole lot of NPCs, which now all show up in the temple.
I ran TES5Edit and removed all of the edits to the standard AI packages from this mod and it seems to have fixed the problem. He adds a bunch of new AI packages specific to his new follower NPCs. These are fine. Just remove the edits he made to the packages that came from Skyrim.esm.
I'm not certain yet, but it looks like you'll have to start a new game after fixing this mod. The NPCs have apparently already been moved to the temple, at least for me they have. Maybe if I travel far away from Whiterun and stay away for a few days the game will correct itself. I guess it can't hurt to try.
I can confirm, that this 2 Entries in the .esp are causing this bug.
Way to solve this (takes 1 minute): - Open TES5Edit, and keep only "Follower Pack III.esp" checked. - Expand this mod on the left and also expand "Package". - Right click on the top 2 entries from "Package" and use "Remove" [Program will open a warning if you are sure to modify, confirm with "yes"]. - After removing this entries close the program and confirm that you want to save. -> Problem fixed.
Thanks for posting the fix. Had been trying to narrow down this issue for quite a while. Tricky thing is opening console and seeing those npc's all labeled SIC made it a bit misleading for me for a long time. wasn't until it started causing various followers encamped there to randomly go crazy hostile on townies and myself that I realized it was in fact not SIC. Was having trouble narrowing down the exact edit responsible though so,
Is an excellent bunch of followers for such a low impact on our modded game. Hated to see it go, happy to see it can stay.
45 followers and not a single female among them? Why?! I downloaded this one, but you should really make some female followers to keep the game lively and interesting.
enough female followers please I'm getting sick of pervy female followers.Male ones are so rare..jeez whats up with everyone and bikini clad women for warrior.........
Thank you for this awesome mod! I had to Google male followers Skyrim and found your mods through a reddit thread or whatever they're called wanting the same thing. More male followers! My only desire would be for male followers in the same quality as the other popular female followers. Oh well, everyone wants women. I'm a guy, but I also want some cool male followers. I know about Inigo and the Thane fella. I gotta look for them in my current play-through though.
First of all, let me introduce myself. My nickname is Remrem and I'm a french Mod translator from the "Confrérie des traducteurs" (See http://www.confrerie-des-traducteurs.fr/forum/index.php and http://www.confrerie-des-traducteurs.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=3956&start=0 for more informations about us).
I'm sending you this request as I'd like, if you give me your agreement, to translate your mod "Follower Pack" into French. Once translated, this French version of your Mod will be uploaded on http://www.confrerie-des-traducteurs.fr/forum/index.php for French players pleasure. For sure the "Lisez-moi.txt" (French translation of the "readme.txt" file) will give reference to your original work, I'll only include on it my name as the translator and names of people who'll participate on its translation.
I hope to receive from you a positive answer for this translation.
Are the followers UFO Compatible? Because I tried recruiting Volken after I recruited Ra'Mirai to follow me, or is this just my game? I've encountered the same problem with another follower mod, Old Herman, a draugr companion which caused the same exact thing. I am using all 3 of the packs by the way.
Downloaded all 3, just to make the bars full up. Such a little mod with a huge impact. Suggestions:
Some of the followers you can brawl- Some of the followers will only follow you after you do a fetch quest (optional for a lower price) Some of the followers cost more (But have slightly better gear) Some of the followers will be in more randomized locations in town. Some of the followers are cheape. (But have lower stats)
I like the face designs in the screenshots, and I'd be tempted to download the packs just to add some NPC colour to Skyrim. But with 45 men and 0 women, that just isn't a representative kind of colour. Any chance the next pack will be women, to even the numbers out a bit?
