The purpose of this tutorial is to help the community tackle one of the most important problems we face: compatibility between all our mods, in particular those mods that introduce custom companions.
I'll share with you my approach to handling companions, based on what I have done with my mod, Quests and Legends, my experiments and experience. My goal has always been to be the least intrusive to the game core resources (meaning don't change them at all), while having the companion behave appropriately in most parts of the game.
What I'll talk about here works for Patch 1.02, but after some testing, it seems to be working fine also for those with Awakening and/or even Patch 1.03. So there's something going on with the flags probably of Patch 1.04 (they changed from these below?). This patch has always broken my game when I installed it so I don't know what the problem is there.
I've opened a discussion thread here. Please join in with your questions/comments/suggestions.
Everything in this tutorial is done WITHOUT changing game resources.
