🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install FCO as you would any other mod—it's a simple plugin and should work out of the box.
Since the mod is from 2014, check for compatibility patches if you have Skyrim Special Edition or the DLCs installed.
Load order matters: place FCO after other mods that alter follower dialogue to avoid conflicts.
