FOLLOWER FOLLOW DISTANCE
Simple add-on to the default follower system. Allows the player to increase or decrease the distance their humanoid followers are from them through dialogue.
Has only been tested with single follower/single creature setups.
GENERAL STUFF
You've probably been sneaking around a nordic ruin and thought, "Hmm, I'd like to go a bit ahead of my follower and clear out some Draugr stealthily" or maybe walking through town and thought "My follower is more of a friend than a pack mule, wish they could walk closer to me (thinking: walking side-by-side-ish)".
If not then this mod is not for you. However, if you have then this mod allows you to ask your follower/creature companion to stay either much closer or much further from you than in vanilla.
It has 4 distances:
Close: Follower stands almost right behind you.
Medium: Same as vanilla, just a few feet behind you.
Far: Enough space that they won't trigger a trap you successful passed by before you've fully left the trap zone.
Really Far: Enough space that you can probably have the follower follow from 2 rooms away in most nordic ruins.
By default your follower follows at Medium distance.
The mod also attempts to fix the Hunting Bow issue followers have.
REQUIREMENTS
Base Game
Dawnguard
Dragonborn
RECOMMENDED MODS
Fuz Ro D-oh Recommended. Non of the added dialogue lines are voiced so they go by fast without this mod installed.
START-UP
The mod will take effect as soon as its installed. To be safe you should probably dismiss any followers first.
INSTALL
Dismiss your follower.
- Use a Mod Manager[MO, Vortex] and activate the plugin.
- For manual install, move FollowerDistance.BSA and FollowerDistance.ESP to the Data Folder and activate the plugin.
UPDATE
Dismiss your follower.
Enter a different cell (exit a building or something)
- Use a Mod Manager[MO, Vortex] and install over the old files then activate the plugin.
- For manual install, move FollowerDistance.BSA and FollowerDistance.ESP to the Data Folder, overwrite the old files and activate the plugin.
UNINSTALL
Dismiss your follower.
- Deactivate the plugin.
- For those who installed manually, remove the FollowerDistance.BSA and FollowerDistance.ESP from the Data Folder
COMPATIBILITY
Any mods that changes the default DialogueFollower quest records will be incompatible.
Follower System Overhauls (ex. AFT, EFF, UFO)
[Minor Incompatibility] Better Stealth AI - Due to how that mod handles the NPC sneaking AI, its packages will override the one in this mod whenever your follower starts sneaking.
If any bugs are found please post them and i'll try to fix them quickly.
