A couple of other recommended mods to go with this:
Serana Dialogue Edit - adds an affinity system for Serana and makes her dialogue more interesting, using her existing dialogue pool
Relationship Dialogue Overhaul - not sure if this has much effect on Serana, but it does have a useful "Stop Combat" function in the MCM that I was using before making this mod
Because my mod makes such minimal changes, it should be compatible with almost everything, although a Merged Patch may be required.
Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that this mod was inspired in part the "Friendlier Guards for the Underground Bathhouse" mod by AlpineYJ and also suggestions by pgir001 (for the Dragonborn based perk) and others over on the Serana Dialogue Edit mod page. Thank you.
not sure if this mod is still supported but if it is could patches be made for the following mod (nexus and steam) followers: karnell and Cleopatra (mini vale sabre cat)
i said in the post that they are steam AND nexus mods meaning if they cant be fopund on nexus then they can be found on steams community skyrim mod page as for giving links try these:
Mini vale sabre cat follower: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=93921354&searchtext=mini+vale+
karnell custom nord follower: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=173179538&searchtext=karnell
and for those claiming that they cant find them/ the links dont work or you cant use them in an existing game read this: i play skyrim LE with both the mods linked and have zero issues any issues you encounter are because you did something wrong. both linked followers work with AFT/ AFF/ SKYUI/ Mutli Followers Lite/ Conveniant Horses and most mod homes that have follower nav-meshing. you can give both custom outfits although the mini sabre cat wont show them but will equip them. Karnell has custom dialogue if using the mod Vilja and will follow Vilja and still sandbox when told to and be traded with etc
slight voice issue some might have is both use the same in game nord female voice not custom VA work so dont expect anything fancy from the voiced responses
hope that helps but i understand if you cant find them or just dont want to use them
Is there any chance this will be ported to Special Edition? I've been struggling with Kaidan and Inigo constantly trying to duke it out with Serana, and there's pretty much no mod there to fix it.
I don't have SE or AE installed so I won't be doing it myself anytime soon. Maybe someday when I get back to Skyrim.
If anyone wants to try to recreate what I did, all I did was create a new faction and added Serana and the applicable followers to it. Then set all members of the faction to friendly.
Is this mod still being supported/backed by the author? I want to ask if this mod would be covering "Kaidan 2"? He is a custom-voiced follower, and often attacks Serana when he gets hit by her; most likely my fault for giving Serana a staff that deals damage and last for seconds (Dragon Staff).
Nice thought, the problem with serana for me is her drain cloak spell who makes any follower attack her (not the EFF ones tho), if you could remove that spell from her list that would be great and make it mergeable for wrybash i would be very thankful.
Do you mean the Drain Life spell that all vampires have? Or have you given her some other armor like the Ebony Mail from Boethiah's quest that has a cloak drain effect? Or do you have some other Serana mod that alters her spells?
My mod should already make the three followers I already created a patch for ignore being accidentally hit by her magic.. My goal with this mod is to make minimal changes to Serana, so you may be better served with a mod like "Sneaky Serana" here on the Nexus, if you want her to have different spells.
If there is a different follower that you're using who isn't covered by EFF or doesn't use the vanilla follower framework, let me know and I'll look into it, and maybe can create another patch. I already have a list of more who I'd like to work on.
Thanks for the reply , gonna try out sneaky serana. Its a cloak spell she has after using Drain life spell (not sure is she cast actually a cloak spell or not)? there are like flying bats around her and for some reasons followers like Recorder, Sofia, Inigo... and such get hurt by it(the player as well) so they start attacking Serana especially after combat when those bats continue to fly around her and touch followers.
Lovely! I been having issues with Serana and Inigo trying to kill each other my entire playthrough! ^_^
In Bethesda's defense tho, the vanilla follower system only allowed 1 follower so this was an oversight that they didn't test for. Simply because it wasn't an issue that was possible in vanilla. Anyway, downloading it now. Much obliged for finally fixing this. <3
In my case I have been keeping Inigo as an archer, but Sofia and Auri were constantly at odds with Serana, that led me to experimenting with ways to prevent it.
You're right, I think Bethesda just never anticipated stuff like this because it's not vanilla, but it's the modding that keeps me hooked on Skyrim - we can have any kind of game we want.

Do you have a link?
Edited to add: I only check this page about once a week and haven't played Skyrim in over a year, so no promises on if or when I could do it.

talos guide you!
I haven't used or downloaded Kaidan, but I'll see what I can do for you. No promises on when I can get to it.
