Regarding Skyrim Special Edition (SSE):
I will not be transferring this mod to there. If anyone wishes to take this idea and create and support their own publicly released mod for SSE, please feel free.
Overview
This is a direct port to Skyrim Special Edition from the Original Mod on Oldrim's Nexus page (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62863) The only thing I have modified is an image in the UI to reflect the port to SSE, I take no responsibility for any work done in the creation of this mod and all credit is owed to the original author, who has given the community permission to offer a Special Edition alternative to the original. This mod is being released in an "As is" condition and will remain in it's current state with all potential faults as at this time I am not familiar enough with what's under the hood to fix any unforeseen issues. It has been tested and found to be working on SkyrimSE across multiple users and hardware.
Features
- Hotkey toggle to switch followers position from behind to beside.
- Automatic switch from close behind or beside to further distance when Magic/Weapon are drawn and/or stealth is entered.
- Automatic switch from close behind or beside to further when Magic/Weapon are sheathed and stealth mode has been exited
- When Idle follower will use reactors and idle markers that are nearby

Compatibility
- Not compatible with any mod that modifies the stock DialogueFollower quest.
- Followers using a different control system will not utilize this mod.
Known Issues
- The follower does not always recognize when the player sheathes their weapon/magic or exits stealth. This is a minor thing. Simply wait for the AI package stack to evaluate on its own or use the provided hot key to force evaluation. Each follower behaves differently in this regard but it is consistent for the given follower.
- Sometimes the follower will become fixated on a specific direction and continue to face that direction despite the player turning. There is nothing that can be done to prevent this. When it happens simply draw/sheathe weapon, stop and toggle the idle/sandbox key, toggle the follow position, or otherwise do something that triggers the AI package stack to be changed. The force evaluation hot key is not sufficient and should not be used in this situation.
