🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no special load order needed, but place it after other quest mods.
If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or if you need to convert it—since it's from 2019, it might be for Oldrim.
If you're already past the Underforge part, the fix won't retroactively unstick NPCs—you'll need to reload a save before that point.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 8,654 endorsements and 2.9M downloads—this is a must-have for Companions fans.
- Fixes a genuinely annoying bug that can softlock the questline, saving you from reloading old saves.
- Lightweight and focused—doesn't overhaul the whole faction, just fixes what's broken.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2019—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or other mods.
- Only tweaks the Companions questline, so if you want a full faction overhaul, this isn't it.
- No detailed changelog or documentation provided, so you're trusting the mod's reputation over specifics.
