DESCRIPTION

  • All followers automatically start looting their surroundings after combat ends. They will search dead bodies, and nearby chests and containers.
  • A maximum of 20 followers are supported.

  • After installing this mod, a new dialogue option will appear ("About looting...") when you talk with your follower. You must select this dialogue option before he/she can start looting. 

  • Then select "Please start looting..." and after that you can configure the follower to loot one of the following:

  • Armor, weapons and arrows
  • Arrows and other bolts
  • Armour
  • Books
  • Gold
  • Ingredients
  • Keys
  • Misc. items
  • Plants
  • Potions and other alchemical substances
  • Weapons

  • You can change this anytime when not in combat. 

  • You can also now order them to loot manually by using the "Loot Command" power. You cannot use this power when in combat or when they are already looting.

  • By default followers will place items that they have looted in a separate inventory of their own, which you can access by selecting the option "I'd like to access your loot inventory". You can configure them to use their normal inventory as well.

  • It is recommended to use a unlimited follower mod as one single follower cannot loot everything in sight.

  • To stop looting, sneak for 2-3 seconds.

TECHNICAL NOTES

  • Unique followers with custom voices unfortunately have no voiced dialogue (they still work though).  
  • A follower may tend to stay in one place or repeat the same looting animation when they can't find any items to loot.  

COMPATIBILITY

  • This mod is fully compatible with all followers who use the default follower system and with unlimited follower mods such as UFO,AFT and EFF.
  • It also supports Dawnguard's Serana, Vilja, Inigo, Arissa and other unique followers. 

  • Use LOOT to sort this mod into the correct load order.

INSTALLING

  • Installing using Nexus Mod Manager/ModOrganizer - Highly recommended. Just click the "Download with Manager" button and it will install.
  • Manually installing - Unzip the contents of this folder into your Skyrim/Data Folder
