Must have and useful follower mods

[woodsman30]

I would like to start a thread for people to share their followers that they use and are useful and always seem to be in your load order. A link would be nice and perhaps a picture to show people what they look like. Legal mods and lets not make this a request thread.

Skyrim has thousands perhaps tens of thousands of follower mods far to many for anyone person to try them all and we all have different tastes and play styles so why not share.

 

Here is one of my go to followers who is a tank in battle  Nadia Storm-Wolf  She a superb follower that I highly recommend

Curse you. You had to start with one I didn't have. (Note the past tense).

 

It turns out that I can't find a screenie of the one I want post. ?

[worik]

I've already made a list of my favorite follower mods:

 

plus an additional mod for Annie, my pack mule. (technically also a follower)

[Grey Cloud]

Pride of place has to go to Lil Red. She has a way of looking at you that makes you think 'Alfred Hitchcock'. ?

Nadia

 

 

 

 

Turns out that I have a few of that author's followers.

 

 

Naria - looks at you like you have disappointed her or otherwise failed to measure up.



 

and Tamara - Permanently surprised. I love that look so much I removed the scars from the face. It's the kind of guy I am.



There were a couple more but I can't remember which ones they were.

I've got one contribution to this thread. She's my all-time favorite in-game girlfriend and a merciless killer.

I really like custom voiced followers.  Two of my top three are probably well known, the third is awesome but sadly under-recognized

 

Sofia - stong fighter, funny dialogue, seemingly infinite carry weight

 

Inigo - fighter/archer and incredible amount of dialogue

 

Auri/Song of the Green - deserves to be more well known, and has a banter patch with Inigo

 

I usually run a bunch of waifu mods in my game, but those are mostly just to recruit and then leave in my player homes using the MHIYH mod.  These are the three I like to actually go adventuring with.

 

 

Honorable mention - Vilja, but I prefer to reserve her for Oblivion because you really don't have many other choices there beyond generic followers.

 

At some point I'm looking forward to trying Lucien, but haven't got there yet.

This is a very useful thread. This is a great way to discover new followers.?

[Arizona_Steve]

I have Grey Cloud beat very easily (there are only around 100 non-follower mods above these)...

 

 

My favorite of my current group from here - She's probably in my top 20 of the 1000 or so followers that hang out in my game.

 

[Grey Cloud]

I thought the F-word might bring you out.

I didn't have that one. I have 3 called 'Scarlett' but none called 'Scarlet'.

My Follower is very unique.

It  is not a human, not an elf, not any creature at all but it's a thing.

When I got it, I can't live without it anymore. It had no complicated commands, it is just there to kill.

Kill everyone around its' range and so I'm just idle there doing nothing.

It even kills spoiler tags apparently.

Another favorite is  Aspen  she is very well put together sleepytigereyes does some excellent work on the followers they create. She is a wrecking machine right out of the box.

Alina is a badass. She's also smoking hot, so there's that.

Anna's NPCs...nice. Interact with each other. Some come with quest-lines.

Obviously a different Alina to the one I have but there again the one in my screenshot looks different to this one which is in my follower folder. ?

There is something about (I'm guessing) my ENB or lighting mods which makes Sleepytigereyes' followers look strange in my game. I can't remember if it's the eyes or the skin but they generally look too weird for me.

 

Meanwhile I've picked up my first 10 followers from Riverwood and we are doing Freak Balls Barrow.

This one is new. She's found round the back of Gerdur's house.

I would say yes as you can see she looks good in my picture... this is just a game play photo as most of mine are so all sleepy's mods look real good..... One big reason I do not like or use an ENB to temperamental.

Finished the barrow and had two options - go out the exit and straight into a bandit camp with only 10 followers or traipse all the way back to the entrance. Decided to compromise and call up some reinforcements. Had 3 followers in places I didn't want to be going to so I called them to me.

There's an option to remove the tat which I forgot to use.



 

Mia. One of MrStoob's - I'm a big, big fan.

Ruth. Another of MrStoob's

I need to get their gear enchanted - we got hammered by the bandits. ? There was a lot of bandits though.

Another kick-ass and somewhat underrated follower is Mytha. She's a Breton spellsword, uses her own bound sword and conjures a fire atronach to aid her in battle. What makes her stand out to me is the fun little quest you have to do to gain her as follower.

only drunken Huntsman. I need every Inn thrice the place.

 

My former favourites where Selene Kate and Tania the Hermit.  If you need quest and fighting spirit Recorder and Ambriel. but I have moore than 300 in my game, that makes it "difficult".

Glad to see you throw your hat in the ring as you have a vast library ?

With the followers I have in this game. In other games it's other places feeling the strain. I have over 25,000 NPCs in my game and quite a lot of them frequent the various inns and public buildings.

Earlier today I discovered an NPC in the Huntsman who was a vendor (and potential follower) for an armour mod that I installed the other day. I checked the esp and there's another one in Eastmarch somewhere. ?

 

Nexus says I haven't downloaded Selene Kate but the name rings a bell and she looks vaguely familiar.

I think I have an Ambriel but not that one.

[Grey Cloud]

Speaking of followers. This is what happens when I start doing something and then decide to go and make something to eat and then post on LL.
