🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod is from 2008, check if you're playing the base game or with expansions—if you have issues, try loading the module after all other mods.
If you want to keep the game balanced, use the 'limit followers count' module to set a reasonable cap instead of removing it entirely.
Make sure to back up your save before installing any mod, but especially this one, as it changes core mechanics.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 1,931 endorsements and over 70k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Gives you four different options so you can tailor the mod to your playstyle, whether you want to ignore karma, ignore the cap, or set your own limit.
- Simple and effective—does exactly what it says without bloat.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2008—over a decade old, so it may not work with the latest patches or expansions without tweaks.
- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided in the description, so you're on your own if something goes wrong.
- Only affects recruitment checks—if you were hoping for deeper companion management, this isn't it.
