About this mod
Modular framework that allows NPCs and creatures to follow the player and have their settings tweaked while in the party.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
A lightweight framework that allows NPCs and Creatures to follow the player and have their settings tweaked while following. The framework can be modular and modified on the fly in-game. It is not balanced, it was designed to be customizable and convenient.
A year of sporadic work has finally yielded my standalone follower framework for Oblivion.
I promised after my demo mod to give you this to use on any NPC that will allow you to.

Notes:
- The current experimental features is the looting and follower gear repair.
Horse use is in development. - Cannot summon when on horse back & adding a follower will make current followers dismount.
- Sandbox behavior will force dismount.
- NPCs will not follow to interior cells while on horse.
- NPCs will not loot while on mount.
Known issues:
-Generic respawning NPCs like guards will reset gear when going to new areas. So don't trade any gear with them.
-Only one version of the creature will follow you but sometimes the race of the creature will be non hostile to you. This is only for that one creature race.
-Adding a creature while under another spell effect will cause them to stop following at the end of the spells duration. Use the options spell to force them to follow again.
-Story and Essential NPCs can cause some gamebreaking and mod breaking issues. If you do have them following you remove them from your party and they should resume quest behavior.
-Archers fire no arrows when accessing inventory. To fix give them a dagger and when they switch weapons they will use arrows again.
-"If you plan to create more than one companion or use your companion mod along side others keep in mind you can't have more then 3 companions following you at once. This is something that cannot be changed, it is built into Oblivion’s engine. If you need to go on those escort quests like taking Martin to Cloud Ruler Temple, you may want to tell your companions to wait at certain locations and come pick them back up later." -The vanilla game settings allow for a maximum of 6 following NPCs on the player at a time.
-Reset your follower and add them again if they are not doing anything, going in trespassing override mode or being a menace in general.
