Is there a Follower mod that works, and it's not ridiculously clunky?

AFT - Let's you turn followers who are Vampire lords, but is clunky as hell.  Can also adjust speed, have them go beyond Level 100 and above 100 skills. Very good amount of options, but the interface is just horrible, and of course it hasn't been updated.

 

EFF - Is great and simple, cool menu interface, but you can't adjust your companions speed etc.  Very simple, limited options, but works.

 

Follower LIve Package - Has a ridiculous amount of options, but it's super script heavy and I noticed CTD's with it, due to so many scripts executing at once.  Very slow to adjust settings.

 

UFO - Doens't work anymore.  this was honestly the best one out there, but the Modder hasn't updated it since 2012.

 

Anything else?

 

 

Basically it would be nice to have an interface like EFF, with the settings of AFT.

I don't use companions that often, but more often than not, the best companions I had found typically were standalone companions with out and script shell like UFO.

Maybe you should look into those, there are a lot of great ones out there. I used Hoth for awhile, but it's kind of an older mod and I'm not sure if he's been updated....then I had a healer and a ranger, but honestly, they didn't have a personality like Hoth and for the life of me I can't remember the names, hahaha. The ranger was definitely pretty forgetful, the only thing she really had going for her was her looks. Her A.I. was pretty basic. The healer had a good A.I. and I remember the modder wanted to give he a personality and a questline and had a lot of ambitions for the mod - not sure if that ever happened.

 

Point is, maybe standalone followers?

Well, you're specifically asking for one that works, not one with tons of additional features, so that'd be EFF like you said. It's my favorite follower system. It may not let you customize some things AFT does, but it does have everything I could really hope for in a follower mod.

I still use UFO for my limited interactions with followers. What exactly isn't working anymore?

 

Also, the UFO author returned in September and has supposedly been working on a complete overhaul/remake of the mod ever since. Chances are that will be the one follower mod to rule them all when it comes out.

UFO is still working and is just fine.. i'm still using it up until now with no problem.. What is not working anymore on UFO?

I'm not clear on the details, but I've seen a number of people mentioning that its scripts are outdated and can cause problems with your game's stability.

Oh thx for the info! might need to check it again then.

Edit : Well EFF is the most updated one.. but there's this compatibility patch with convenient horse and auto unequip ammo. so anyone here who used EFF can tell me if i really need that compatibility patch or not? coz i happened to use convenient horse and auto unequip ammo, and they're great so i won't uninstall them. but i want to make sure if it's safer to use the compatibility patch / not using it.. Thx for the answer.

I use a more modular approach : I would suggest using MHIYH 4.3 (Different from 2plus!!!) , because it has a new (forced) follower function, next to all the home options you came to love. Highly recommended. Skytweak is another mod that is great to have (You can tweak catch-up follower speed), and there are prolly others for follower speed boost. I also use Speechcraft for extra dialogue options.

I've been using UFO with no problems or any problems with stability.
