🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod is from 2016, check if you have all DLCs installed — some users report issues with Far Harbor or Nuka World companions if the mod isn't updated.
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or NMM, install it manually by dropping the .esp into your Data folder to avoid load order conflicts.
Make sure to dismiss your companion before installing the mod to avoid any stuck follower bugs.
