Multiple Followers

[Lurkz]

How do I get a bigger party without SKSE? I know you can cheese a couple of quests to get temporary followers, but would rather proper ones. Sword ineffective against flying lizards, need archers. Halp.

"Current VR Build 2.0.8". Install it then install a follower mod.

I understand you asked how to do it without SKSE but I see no reason you'd want that aside from assuming there wasn't one for VR.
There answer to your question though is, you can't.

That's a shame, I expect the beta will go stable branch tomorrow so will leave skse alone until the patching cycle is done, save on having a broken game every 2 weeks lol

Amazing Follower Tweaks SE works pretty well without SKSE. I did uninstall due to CTDs but I'm not sure if this mod had any part in the crashes.

I have Sofia and Serana following me...

I think it must be a thing that comes along with Sofia as I do not have SKSE or AFT installed.

AFT works just fine, been using it for hours and hours no problems.

Awesome, will check AFT out!

Were you running the latest beta when that happened?

EFF (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7003) also works fine without SKSE.

And I always preferred EFF over AFT - which had caused LOADS of problems in my modding past.
