Changelogs
Version 1.15.0
Add proper hellos to both foxes, fixing issues where their dialogue options sometimes wouldn't work right.
Add sounds to each dialogue option, increasing feedback and responsiveness (no more need to manually skip each line).
Allow item trading! Both foxes have a rather lean encumbrance limit, so they can't hold much. If pointed at a chest / cupboard / etc. they will still happily toss everything inside all over the floor, making a huge mess.
Allow both foxes to be used at once as vanilla followers! Using the vanilla "human follower" slot if available. (it's still recommended to use a more robust follower framework, but it works!)
Fix longstanding bleedout issues - both foxes now simply ragdoll on bleedout, fixing their broken animation state.
Fix an obscure vanilla issue where both foxes could get stuck flopped over if zoning while ragdolled.
Version 1.14.1
Fix a minor goof where both foxes were set to min level 6 instead of 1 - they no longer single-handedly faceroll Bleak Falls Barrow at the start at the game
Simply a port of my old (2012!) plugin from original Skyrim. Enjoy!
Usage Simply approach and talk to either fox, and they'll be recruited into your party. If your party is full, your existing animal follower will be dismissed. Either fox will return to Dragonsreach when dismissed, and can be recruited again at any time.
Additional Information Both foxes level with the player to 50, like other vanilla followers. They otherwise have normal stats, but are marked as essential (bleedout state at 0 health).
Kitt, the red fox, is the bolder of the two and tanks Dragons like a champ. Sola, the snow fox, is less aggressive, but possesses a snow fox's normal frost resistance.
Compatibility Should be compatible with just about anything, regardless of load order. Should work in any multi-follower mod that supports vanilla animal followers.
To command both foxes at once (with catch-up / teleport functionality), try MFSTL: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/26712 (Note: Foxes can not learn spells - I couldn't figure out how to define animations to cast them!)
Uninstall Steps Simply dismiss any fox present in your party, then remove the plugin as normal. Optionally, use ReSaver (or similar) to remove any leftover references in your save: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/5031
Known Issues Very rarely, one or both foxes won't spawn inside Dragonsreach. I'm currently unsure why this happens, but it can be worked around by saving and restarting the game, after which they will appear as expected.
