How to install Multiple Companions - Unlimited Companion Framework?

Arrived on Switch and VR. If you started playing, you probably already have companion, at least Lydia. You'll meet a variety of possible companions on your travels, so you have a choice of who will carry all your countless gear. We'll tell you how to get the most out of them.

Companions in Skyrim can be used in more interesting ways than just storage. Below tips and tricks are suitable for both beginners and veterans who can learn something new.

How to level up your companion

If your companion's level does not match your own, you can use Wabbajack to raise him to the level required. This staff can be obtained by completing the quest of the God of Madness Sheogorath in Solitude - “Mad Mind”. First, save, in case things don't go according to plan. This is a recommendation for all occasions, since this way it is very easy to roll back any changes.

Take your companion to a secluded area because that's where you'll start beating them up. This is best done in private, especially as far away from the guards as possible. Take everything from their inventory, release them, and then use the wabbajack until they change shape. As the effects wear off, their levels should increase.

Companion behavior

All companions have traits that determine aspects of their behavior - aggression, helping, confidence and morality. The first three are related to combat, while morale determines how likely your companion is to commit a crime or other specific action. So before you do something illegal and nasty, think about whether your partner will agree.

Teams

There are some pretty useful commands you can give your companion. For example, activate shrines to benefit from blessings. But keep in mind that the effects of Talos, Mara, Dibella and Zenithar do not work on them.

The companion can help you fill soul stones, including the Black Star and Azura's Star, if you equip the soul trap. In addition, they also know how to extract wood. Most companions are happy to slave, and you won't even need to give them a tool - they will create it themselves. Don't ask how.

If you're faced with a locked chest that you can't open, turn to your companion. If he has no moral principles, he will pick the right lock. When your inventory is full and you don't want to be distracted from the trading menu, throw away the item and ask your partner to pick it up.

How to hire multiple companions at the same time

Everyone knows that in Skyrim you can only have one companion, officially. But there are workarounds, thanks to which you can organize a whole gang, sweeping away everything in its path.

As a general rule, characters who join you on quests are not considered companions. So until you complete the task, they will continue to run with you. This works for the vast majority of characters, although some may have problems due to fast travel or leaving the area.

Three additional followers can be obtained from the Dark Brotherhood if you do not kill Cicero. Bring your main companion to the Sanctuary and place him as close as possible to one of the two Brotherhood envoys and Cicero. Let your partner go and hire him again immediately. Once you click the dialogue option asking to come with you, quickly talk to a member of the Brotherhood and ask them to join you too.

You need to hire a second partner while your main partner gives his answer. Do the same with two more. Plus, you can buy a dog to join your army. And give each follower a command to summon creatures to help during battle.

In the end, you may end up with: one main companion, two or more from quests, three followers from the Dark Brotherhood, five summoned creatures, two dead slaves and a dog. It's not quite an army, but it's a good start.

Peculiarities:
- You can attract up to 100 partners at once.

- If you wish, you can disable the menu and use dialog lines (available in the mod settings).
- It is possible to view various parameters of satellite statistics (item "Statistics").
- Companions can collect certain items (plants, ammunition, etc.) if they are ordered to do so (the “Collect” command).
- Partners can rest and behave like a normal NPC (command "Rest").
- In the “Equipment” section, you can specify clothes or a set of armor that the companion will wear by default (after dismissal) or just a set of armor that he will put on immediately.

- Added the book “How to Become a Leader”, which serves as a manual for the mod and for launching the mod’s global settings window.
- Ability to enable/disable add-ons from the mod settings.
- Added the “Significance of a Partner” add-on. With this command you can enable or disable the immortality of your companion. (Does not override in-game settings)
- Added the “Place of Residence” add-on. The command specifies the “registration” of the satellite. That is, after dismissal, the partner will return to the place that you assigned to him. To do this, go to the desired interior with a companion and select this command.
- Added the "Spells" add-on. Gives you the opportunity to teach a companion spells that you know (optional). You can also erase all spells from your companion.
- Added the "Aggression" add-on. You can set your partner's actions in battle (aggressive - passive).
- Fixed the disappearance of a partner's armor when using the "Training" command
- Partners will no longer quarrel with each other if they accidentally hit each other during a battle.

INCOMPATIBLE:
- with other mods that change the number of hired companions.

Field teams:

From Skulvar in Whiterun you can buy the book "Field Orders" (requires 50 Speech and 5000 gold), which will allow you to issue commands to companions using added words of power, or the same book can be found at the entrance to the house of Warm Winds:

Installation (safe):

Start the game, leave all your companions, run the getglobalvalue playerfollowercount command in the console and, if 0 is displayed, save and exit the game.
- Launch your plugin manager and disable all plugins that affect the mechanics of interaction with companions or their limit (Increased follower limit, Mullti followers, TCG and others).

Order esp. UFO in launcher for 1.2i:

UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp

- UFO - Dragonborn AddOn.esp

Order esp. UFO in the launcher for 1.2j.b15 and higher:

"UFO - AllwaysDrawWeapons.esp" should be loaded after the main UFO file

Complete removal:
MAIN STEP (only if you no longer want to use UFO): Before uninstalling the mod, you need to go to Riverwood. On one of the islands in the river, talk to the service NPC named "Firefly Tina". Yes, it's a firefly. You should receive the message "Done! You can now remove UFO." -- For what? -- This is the only way I have found to ensure compatibility with other mods that affect companion mechanics.
Also, before deleting, you must part with all current companions
On a note!!! Firefly Tina flutters over a tree stump near the water mill in Riverwood (on the right side of the water mill at the end of the island)

F.A.Q.:
1.Dialogs from UFO do not work correctly or do not work immediately. Solution: save and load the created save (fixed in version 1.2i)
2.If you hire any companion from the DLC as the second one, you may have to ask him to join three times. The same situation applies to dismissal
3.If you want to hire Serana along with other companions, then hire her FIRST and remove her LAST
4.If you cannot find the service NPC, then do the following:
- Use the console command: help Tina 4
- As a result you will get the string "ACTI:(xxxx) "Firefly Tina"
- Run the command: player.placeatme xxxx (xxxx are the numbers from the previous paragraph)
5.In order for dialogues with companions from third-party mods to be displayed and work correctly, place the UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp file in the launcher as high as possible in front of all companion mods
6. After the update, I lost the dialog for training companions in magic
- Answer: Before updating UFO, be sure to talk to your companions and tell them to forget all the spells, then fire them, and after that you can update the mod

Residual pex. files requiring deletion:
- Many players, after switching to new versions from the old version 1-2i, have a lot of pex script files left in the game. and don’t know what to delete, see the screenshot below that shows all the pex. files that you may have in the game folder and need to be removed from the game if you used an earlier version of the mod 1-2i (see all pex. files at Skyrim/Data/scripts)
