UFO SUPPORT I have been in contact with fLokii, the author of Ultimate Follower Overhaul, and have received permission to write a patch for it. I have done one better, and updated the scripts themselves, for a whole new version of UFO, which will most likely be hosted back on fLokii's file page once it goes through some testing here.
This version should completely fix the follow/wait/dismiss dialogue options for ALL followers that use the vanilla system, whether they are a 3rd party follower, or a follower added by a mod. Version 1.2k beta 3 should also fix the Sneak-walking bug some third party followers experience.
If you decide to test this out, please come back here and let me know how it works for you.
The file can be found under Optional Files on the files tab here, and has the same mod filename. To test, simply overwrite the UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp and .bsa files with the ones provided.
Although this mod is linked on Hoth's page (and he's mentioned in the description here), I still can't hire him when I already have a follower (I'm using AFT). I've always wanted to try him, but I don't think I can give up everyone else in exchange. :( Anything I might be doing wrong?
I know I'm super late to this message, but this mod has been updated more recently than Hoth, so I imagine it can't be because he's too up to date, lol.
I put some armor in his inventory, because I was over-encumbered and he got naked. Took back the armor I gave him and he's still naked. Guess I'll have to uninstall this mod now.
Can you get The Erotic Adventures of Misty Skye to play nice with AFT? AFT doesn't recognize Misty or her sister. (Won't even let me have more than 2 companions)
Use Immersive AFT (you can get AFT's original menus back if you prefer them, in IAFT's MCM), or try MCM AFT. I've used both and they do not suffer this "two followers" problem. Another option is FollowerLivePackage with its improved English add-on (I think that's a separate download page). FLP will do everything all of these things will, and more. But it has a bit of a learning curve (more options = more complication in setup, especially given the lack of real documentation). There is an FLP and AFT compatibility patch, but I cannot recommend using this to run them both at the same time. It doesn't work well, and it just wastes resources and makes it more rather than less of a hassle to manage followers.
THAT SAID, I too would like to see this mod do some more stuff for AFT/IAFT/MCMAFT compatibility. I keep running into problems where AFT (IAFT in my case, this time) will either not add someone as a follower, or will not release one (e.g., I've been running with Naria for about a month, and finally got tired of her, but the only way to get rid of here was to remove gear, then Disable and MarkForDelete on her in the Console, quit the game, remove the Naria mod, restart game and cleansave, quit game, reinstall the mod. I can now pick up Naria again later (a new version of her), but before, she followed me no matter what, no matter how many times I dismissed her as a follower.
Another issue is that Inigo's author says that NPC's AI will get confused if you use any AFT/EFF/UFO menu options to interact with him, but the AFT ones DO appear for him, so it's a difficult demand to comply with. Would be better if he were patched to just not flip out when interacting with AFT.
Not urgent for me; my next game is going to use FLP exclusively.
Does this support any Karliah follower mods? UFO seems to remove the Karliah's recruitment dialogue and I am trying to find a way to fix this. Any chance this mod would fix it?
