Followers attacking each other

[Mr. Raider]

I do usually bring Kharjo and Lydia with me (no mods, the game lets me do that), and not so rarely they start to attack each other.
Its really annoying, is there anything i can do apart from loading a previous save?

You need to explain yourself because without a quest, or a cheat you can only have one NPC follower.

or any of the follower mods (Such as EFF, AFT, etc).

For OP. Make sure they are protected or essential and just let them work off that sexual tension...or get other mods and add to it. But no seriously, what are you doing when they go at it? If someone is using spells that could do it (destruction spells specifically).

Whenever I have two companions go at it the solution it to either just leave the area, any load screen seems to fix the issue, that or just knock some sense into both of them.

Then your game is broken, you cannot have two followers without mods

You still get multiple followers during certain quests, even without mods.
Just be careful with mage followers. After defeat the last enemy, “stray” magic projectiles will do damages to anything on its path, including you, if another follower is hit, they shall start a fight.

Yeah, my wife killed him for it on a Blades dragon hunt. Chain Lightening is cancer on a follower.

Not much you can do other than being careful about your quick saves. Lydia and Serena get into it sometimes when Serena uses a elemental magic attack and the target dodges and Lydia gets hit or Lydia gets in the line of fire. I haven't seen Lydia and Inigo get into it yet, but that character is more like other NPCs who just complain when hit with friendly fire instead of turning hostile.


It is annoying to have to redo a fight, but you don't have much choice.

Now I make sure to hire him for the Boethiah's Calling quest

I've had 2 followers almost the entire game while playing on switch. I have serena after the vampire quests, and my wife Aela after the werewolf quests. I think because she's my wife I can have her follow me. I'm 100 hours into the game with both following me. It's fantastic.

You could look into some mods that turn off friendly fire, if anything it'll help if you accidentally hit your followers.

[FauxFurry]

Without mods, one can only have one humanoid follower, a quest follower (Serana counts as one long-term)one pet type follower (dog, Riekling or troll), a horse and up to two summons.

It would be for the best to limit things in cramped spaces to one follower and summons so that one simply has to re-cast summon to disengage and in-fighting rather than use some special mod feature. Even if one uses modded followers, they should not have conflicting class types that cause friendly fire so no mages casting spells with splash damage.
Bigger parties are best reserved for the Civil War or raids on big bandit camps.
