Can you please make a lite version that doesn't require SKSE or SKUI?

does this work with brynjolf?

So I subscribed on steam and all I got was my follower randomly spurting out one of three comments, this went on for a week but I didn't turn it off just set the frequency down. Then I installed vortex from nexus, let it manage my mods, and reinstalled this mod.
Now my follower is babbling away all sorts of things and much more relevant to what's actually happening. I'm loving it.Gonna turn that frequency up.
My one and only suggestion would be to remove the sentence "They say dragons have returned to Skyrim, now that is a real problem." from the Nord male dialog. If the follower has been running around with the dragonborn he knows that for sure so the sentence is jarring and out of sync.

Would have been 5*, if you didn't give poor Lydia the unpleasant line: "Yuck, I need a thorough bath to get that stech of me'. Ruins the romance after a kiss ;)

HOW DO YOU BRING UP THE FCO CONSOLE ANYWAY; OR HASN'T IT INSTALLED PROPERLY...
decorson46 7 Oct, 2018 @ 6:18pm 
The incessant talking about stuff not related to what's happening got very annoying. I had to unsubscribe to save my sanity.

where can i find the khajiit follower? im a khajiit and it would be very fitting! :tongue_eol:
Trip_Kiddo 22 Mar, 2018 @ 7:30pm 
So I finally got to a point where Lydia's constant talking got very annoying, I figured there'd be a way to turn it down a bit in the MCM, but I have no option for this mod in the MCM. I don't really get what to do after "help fco" either. If anyone can help that'd be great. I like what the mod adds, but man does Lydia not shut up. I gotta unsub for now.

Great mod. Never heard Marcurio chatter so much lol. I use player voicesets for my character and I even heard her say a few things different.. I hate all that silence so these two mods together kept me entertained.:) Thanks for sharing. Upvoted. Lol Skyrim life is interesting again!:)

I remember downloading this a while back and without SKSE and it worked. Now it doesn't but then I didn't realise you needed SKSE now. Am I correct in assuming you updated it so it can only work with SKSE?
gorgophone 22 Jun, 2016 @ 5:20pm 
Hey, awesome mod you have here! Just leaving two suggestions: that you cut Mjoll's "I had another run in with the thieves guild" dialogue that ends in her addressing the comment to Aerin. I hate it when she calls me Aerin. Especially in bed.
I also busted up laughing hearing Marcurio's plans to buy an island someday, but some of the idle commentary is a little more bandit-y, such as the muttering about "one more good haul.." I usually only hear that before slicing a bandit's throat open, but I make a lot of exceptions for Marcurio.

Otherwise, great mod! I'm really enjoying the extra characterization. Lydia has some serious opinions on the men of Skyrim.

If you somehow manage to unlock dialogue for Teldryn Sero one day, I will be the first to subscribe! Finding mods for him is nigh impossible...
Amorphous Bird 23 Mar, 2016 @ 8:47pm 
Just tried it, nothing bad happened with aft, but since i had 7 followers they all tried to talk at once.... got annoying walking the equivalent of a block down the street. Great idea, but i think it would just be better to have a custom voiced follower.
SpeedyWeedy 4 Feb, 2016 @ 1:14pm 
So everyone becomes Cicero? Cool, cool.
Solaire 11 Jan, 2016 @ 4:44pm 
sorry maybe a silly question but does this mod conflict with amazing follower tweaks?
N-Ding the Rice Farmer™ 4 Jan, 2016 @ 11:30am 
good now derkeethus my idiot argonian can say more then

ours is to smile friend
Vlek 8 Dec, 2015 @ 8:39pm 
This in theory sounds like a great idea. In practice, you're going to get annoyed by how often they speak (Even at 10%) and how few dialogue options the follower chooses to say over and over. I can't tell you how many times I'll be doing a quest, and, while I'm in the middle of talking to someone, my follower starts rambling about something stupid I've heard a million times before. I like this mod, I think it's a great idea, but it just wasn't for me after a while.
The Psych Doctor 25 Jul, 2015 @ 12:49pm 
Thanks for adding "color" and interest to the game! BTW, I think modders like you deserve to be rewarded for all that you give to us non-modders. Hope this doesn't inspire haters. Just happy you share your talent with us!
Roadhouse699 6 Jul, 2015 @ 10:50am 
I have heard only one follower comment, and I already love this mod.
Ghostablook 24 Apr, 2015 @ 2:32am 
I've downloaded this mod and it did absolutely nothing, I can't even see it under the MCM, I've tried downloading it via steam/nexus. It's irritating.
Aleph Sharp 9 Apr, 2015 @ 12:29pm 
when are serana and teldryn sero compatibillty going to be added?
Ade 2 Mar, 2015 @ 6:59am 
Can you make a non SKSE and SkyUI one?
【pumpkinpie123457】 27 Jan, 2015 @ 6:33pm 
Does this work with interesting npcs?
Bbrink1996 25 Jan, 2015 @ 9:28am 
The description states that it added additional dialogue to 18 vanilla followers. Does this mean ALL vanilla followers have added dialogue like Benor? Because Benor's voice is pretty unique I think since I haven't heard a lot.

is there an options menu to change how often they talk? my followers don't seem to say anything
DreadWolf 2 Nov, 2014 @ 4:16am 
There's a German version also please tell me
Talyn Firelock 27 Oct, 2014 @ 7:41am 
I aded this mod the way I should with all the files needed. My follower blabs nonstop, every 20 seconds., maybe less. I tried typing help FCO into the console, I didn't get anything I could click on to fix? I will have to unsubscribe for now, till you get back to me. I would love ro have this mod, but he makes comments that are out of context..crazy sruff..talks when I am not even near him.
Domathotep 11 Oct, 2014 @ 4:30am 
Does this work with "multiple followers lite"?
HypooThalomuss 28 Sep, 2014 @ 10:19am 
I downloaded the mod and followed all the instructions extremely carefully. I have SKSE and SkyUI and the work just fine. Then I downloaded the mod and it says it's there and it shows up in the mod menu, but everything is unchecked and I can't check it plus the frequency is stuck at zero and can only go up to 1, but it goes back to zero. HELP PLEASE
BullBars1 9 Aug, 2014 @ 8:09pm 
I can't even be in a room all alone and I hear the scripting. It's like having an evil demon sitting on your shoulder saying men treat women like cows over and over again. I thought I needed some quiet time in the crafting room so I left my housecarl and my follower upstairs on relax mode. HAH! I turned my character around to see if they'd snuck downstairs because it was supposed to be quiet if they were both upstairs. NOOOOO! You can't get away from it. You'd think that if you were at least 10 feet or more away from them it would be quiet but there is no shutting them off. Thanks but no thanks.
Rain 27 Jun, 2014 @ 7:50pm 
Great mod.
LordKweef 9 Jun, 2014 @ 9:58am 
I don't know whether this is a bug or not and I know you mentioned this in the description, but when potential followers (specifically my stewards in my Hearthfire houses) chatter, they don't chatter to me. They'll talk to themselves. I'll hear them from the other side of the house say some random line every 15 seconds or so. With Eola this doesn't bother me but Faendal has an incredibly irritating voice when he rants on... I haven't noticed this with other potential followers, but I'll keep an ear out

Mister Garry's Mod: Nexus and TES Alliance are my preferred platforms for distribution. Steam Workshop is great and easy for users but it's very difficult to deal with as a mod maker. I'm impressed with the depth of SW's metrics for tracking your mod's popularity but this is the one feature by far that it stands out on, and it seems limited in other regards. I think that even if there were some sort of framework in place that would allow people to automatically publish mods on all the major sites, SW would still have issues (especially with more complex, script-heavy mods).

catlady4300: I have not extensively trialled UFO but I do have a Skyrim build set up to use it through Mod Organizer. The only ways UFO leads EFF is in age, sheer number of users, and sheer number of features, but on the metrics that matter to me - quality, and real utility (expressed through the keystone features of Party UI, remote commands, out-of-dialogue menus, MCM config, and ease of installation) EFF is the clear winner. As for exitting UFO, I'm not sure what all steps would be involved. It took me a great deal of time just to get UFO working on my test build in the first place. I assume that, at the very least, you would have to dismiss any active followers you may have, and then make a clean save (i.e. a save where UFO has been completely removed from your load order), and then activate EFF. If UFO has uninstallation instructions on their page (on the Nexus, mind, not on SW) I would follow them to the letter.
catlady4300 2 Jun, 2014 @ 6:15pm 
hi, i really love this mod, just wish they said a little more dialog. but i wanted to ask you if tou thought extensible f. framework is better yhan ufo? and why. and did you try them both? im a little afraid to drop ufo because it works. and i have screwd up my game before switching mods.any way many thanks for this mod. i would still rather hear the same things over and over. instead of silence.your awsome.
ж terzaerian ✌  [author] 2 Jun, 2014 @ 5:12pm 
I strongly recommend Extensible Follower Framework [www.nexusmods.com] as your follower management mod. Others exist but EFF has the most polish and flexibility of any of them.
hyperparageom 26 May, 2014 @ 8:02pm 
Terrific work within the limitations! Thanks for giving the Skyrim universe more life!
catlady4300 25 May, 2014 @ 4:05pm 
now iknow where my follower gets all this stuff, he pickpockets people. he kept comming up with all this shit idident give him. after your mod, he makes a comment about pickpocketing being the way to go. thank you so much. i wanted so bad for my fol. to say more. i get lonley boo hoo. really thank you great mod
sgtwinkler 24 May, 2014 @ 11:55am 
I agree with your motion that Inigo is the greatest follower ever. Gotta love that cat.

Phoenix: That's not me. FCO doesn't add dialog trees, just idle comments.
Phoenix Nefertari 23 May, 2014 @ 4:24pm 
My housecarl keeps saying there is something we need to address but when I speak to her there is no dialog about any problems to chose from. Bug?
StayAway 22 May, 2014 @ 3:23am 
oh, cause my follower,Valdimar, keeps sayin "ive heard dragons have returned to Skyrim.Now thay there,that's a real problem".
BullBars1 22 May, 2014 @ 1:53am 
It's just too bad the volume can't be the same as the video clips. A little bit rediculously loud compared to the clips.
Martel 22 May, 2014 @ 1:44am 
This mod looks awesome ! I look forward for a non-MCM version, good luck with your work !
Regards.
LikkerdySplit 21 May, 2014 @ 11:17pm 
That bunch of unforgiving snakes-in-the-grass over at the nexus recently banned me again for having made another account, blacklisted my IP too, can I kindly ask how you check the update version on steam? It doesn't say...

Chris B: The Nexus version has been out for over a month already. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52019/
ж terzaerian ✌  [author] 21 May, 2014 @ 3:52pm 
Yes and yes, Howler, assuming audio resources existed for a voicetype in the first place. I don't have the VAs on speed dial to record new lines, nor am I able to do impressions of the 18 voice actors for vanilla followers. The clips have all been conditioned to apply when it makes sense for them to play.
