UFO doesn't work right, can you help me sort this out?

Basically what happened is I got UFO (Ultimate Follower Overhaul), which allows me to do things like have up to 15 followers at once, make them ride mounts, level them up, teach them spells, and even decide what they wear. Sounds great, right?

 

Except it's not working right. I can change Lydia's clothes, but if I try it on anyone else the game CTDs. I can request someone join me when I already have a follower, but the previous one stops following me as though I told them to leave. Followers also randomly decide to stop following me and wander around town. When I get close to them, they'll follow me again, but only for a certain distance.

 

I can post my load order, but only if you absolutely need it. I have almost 100 mods running and it would take me a long time to type it all down for you. Thanks in advance!

i use a early version of UFO ... named follower extended.

that mod uses a slot system to save the config to each follower.

if you release one follower with config that slot will be blocked. if you free a follower with a deleted slot, that slot will be free for a new follower.

 

so far the theoretical part. the practical part are... that slot system doesn't work 100%. to much deletion and refill of one slot will causes in some errors. and one of them sound like yours.

 

my solution with follower extended was; removeing all clothes from my custom follower.esp. reload my game with the new esp and without that follower extended mod to reset them and his config. then i reactivated them don't use to much followers at same time. my probs are started with up to 10 custom equipped followers/npc.

I'm sorry, sbire, I don't really follow you. The main problems I seem to be having is the CTD when I try to change a follower's clothes, and the inability to have more than one follower at a time. UFO is designed to do these things and it's not working. Has anyone else come across this problem?

you can verify that "slot"-problem simply by using a new char/savegame.

or have you these issues at first time of you mod usage?

 

did you try to give some BBP/CH... Armors to your followers without using a skeleton? pls verify

Oh, I see. Start a new game and see if I have the same problem. That's a good idea, and I have a mod that gives me extra followers that show up right there in Riverwood. I'll do that and see what happens, then post here.

 

As for armors, they were all CBBE compatible. I tend to only get CBBE mods to prevent any problems.

Still experiencing this problem. I tried starting a new game to see if that made any difference. Well, it did; UFO doesn't work at all with a new game. None of the options show up, and I can't take on more than one follower.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sounds like a new load order...check that

I did. I put UFO at the end of the load order like the maker suggests. I did figure out it's because the followers I'm trying to re-clothe are custom. It works on Lydia, but not the downloaded followers. Which is sad, I want to change their clothes.

 

It still doesn't let me have more than one follower, though. It's really annoying, and I'm considering getting rid of UFO and taking other mods that do the same things. I know there's a mod that lets me remove their default armor, and a separate mod that increases how many followers I can have, but I really like the extra options UFO has.

 

If no one can help me, I'm getting rid of it and moving on.

Hi there,

 

When you installed UFO did you follow the install instructions as presented in video tutorial and written Fail Safe Install Procedure?

Fail Safe should help resolve any potential problems from loose scripts(as explained under bad pex files part) that some older mods used and could be causing problems.

Best advice I can give you on the spot is to make sure you used Original Game Launcher when first making load order and starting the game. This will ensure mod(s) initialize properly and in the wanted load order.

Second is if you are not seeing dialogue, most probable cause is the 1.7 patch bug. Simply make a save and load it (without exiting the game) and custom dialogue will show.

Hope this helps.
