Sabretooth, the loyal Sabrecat companion
FEATURES Version 1.0


- Sabretooth knows four basic commands.
(NOTE: Sabretooth is lazy, he might not start his new command after sitting back up again, he likes to lay down while waiting):
Follow: self explanatory.
Wait: self explanatory.
Wait in front of Breezehome: Sabretooth will run to Whiterun and wait infront of Breezehome (NOTE: this command is available at the start, but will only work when you've been to Whiterun AFTER loading the mod) If people want it, I might make a feature that let's Sabretooth wait at whatever home you want (or inside a home).
Get away from me command: This command will put Sabretooth in a "flee from the player" mode. Handy when he's blocking a doorway or something. Might not always be reliable though, and he will keep fleeing from you until you told him otherwise
- You are given one spell which enables you to call Sabretooth from wherever he is and make him follow you.
Useful for when he waits at home and you don't want to go to him to make him follow you. It might take a couple of hours (maybe even days if he's far away) before he reaches you though. It currently uses a loud dragon shout as a sound effect, because the creation kit doesn't include voice dialogue =(. Since it had to be viable for both males and females, my choice was limited.

- Sabretooth his size is based on the level of the playable character.
(NOTE: He will only gain his new size after leveling after being hit by something)


- Sabretooth his stats are also based on the level of the playable character.
(NOTE: Due to a bug, followers' stats ONLY update after being disabled and enabled. As a solution to this, Sabretooth will disable and enable automatically after being hit the first time after he levels. That's why he fades out and fades in sometimes.


- You can recruit Sabretooth right outside Riverwood.
He can be found somewhere around Faendal's camp outside Riverwood (the side where you enter Riverwood for the first time). There you will find Sabretooth, wounded and hungry, and after a (very) short quest he will be your companion.


-Small notes:
He starts with 20 health, and gets 8 health per level. I deliberately made him a bit weaker, since I don't want to skew up the balance of the game. His size also scales with level, and size also has an effect on how much damage he does and can receive. This means his survivability will increase more than 8hp per level. His health is slightly lower than the other animal companions, but he makes up for this since he does more damage.
You can have both a dog follower and Sabretooth. But understand that this skews up balance and too many followers will lead to inaccessible rooms, annoyances and other things. But if you do want more followers, go ahead.
Sabretooth will go into bleedout when he reaches 10% hp. During this time enemies will ignore him. Sabretooth CAN'T be killed, even when the player does the finishing blow (I did this, because I play a mage and it's annoying when AoE kills your own follower). However, as long as Sabretooth is inside AoE damage, he will stay in the bleed out state.
Installation:
Place the .esp file into your skyrim data folder, or just use the nexus mod manager.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY BUGS. Don't hesitate to give me feedback or new ideas for new patches.

I hope you enjoy Sabretooth =)

@DestroXV i take it you already tried Potions, Teleporting, Waiting, and other food articles?

subbed, and then unsubbed 15 mins later. Only option on finding him was 'need you to do something'. Tried healing hands but that didnt work. Looks nice, fails to work as intended.

Hi, I haven't played the game in a while and plan to restart. I'm checking my mods to see which ones conflict, and which ones I no longer have an interest in.
I like this mod... mostly.
I usually enjoy having Sabretooth follow me around. I would love to install him, Jango, and the armored sabrecat just to get a "darwin awards" screenshot out of the next thief to try mugging me ;)

But Sabre's "size is based on level" thing might be causing problems....
When I'm in a tight area, like in a cave or tunnel, he easily blocks the way out... or forward.
I can't squeeze past him, short of toggling collision. And the "get away from me" or "wait at Breezehome" commands don't work at these times--the dialog menu stays open, suggesting that it didn't even register that I'd given a command--so I can't make him get out of the way, either.

Thoughts?

This is a GREAT character/mod the only suggestion I would make (which is probably a big EDITING deal) he's always underfoot and lays down right where you don't want him too, and he's slow to keep up. Other than that the character is a delightfully loyal and funny follower.

Hi, Think I might try this, the dogs are not cool at all.
( this would take the place of the dog right ? )
and yeah I would like him to wait at any of my homes in and out side of them.

For some reason it's not letter me talk to Sabertooth. The status message about him being trapped pops up, but I cannot talk to him. I have the Give a Dog a Home mod but I don't know if that would be interfering with this one.

Thankyou! I love Sabre! (using with UFO followers, so he does not replace other follower) He is very very big though, hard to bring into my houses without messing decorations :)! And I think he´s well balanced, been playing with a certain essential/undying (no spoilers) vanilla animal follower too lately , and that one seems more powerfull than Sabre but in a much more unbalancing way ! Have to leave Sabre out of the tightest caves though, because of size :)
