How to switch from using Extensible Follower Framework to Ultimate Follower Overhaul

Hey Everyone:

 

I'm a big fan of using custom companions and travelling/adventuring with about 2-3 at a time. I use the "My Home is Your Home" mod to set their home location to my house mod to populate it and add some more immersion. I have 15 companions in all who have their home set to my house's location. I also use ModOrganizer.

 

I've only ever used Extensible Follower Framework as I enjoy the menu it provides, and the fact that it can change an npc's default outfit. However, for some of my female companions, I'm having trouble getting them to wear customized outfits when they are dismissed and wandering around in sandbox mode. I've tried setting their default outfit to "none" in the hope that they would wear anything I place in their inventory, and it seems to work while they are following me, however when I dismiss them they go to wearing no clothing at all!

 

 

So anyway, long story short, I'm eager to switch to a follower overhaul mod that will get rid of this problem, and the two that are the most highly acclaimed are the "Ultimate Follower Overhaul" and the "Amazing Follower Tweaks" mods. I'd like to use UFO as I find the various features more appealing, so I was wondering if there was a way I could safely switch over without breaking any npcs. As I stated earlier, I'm using the MHYH mod to set their new locations, NOT the EFF "set home" feature. the only follower I have actively following me now is Serana.

 

Can I just uninstall EFF and install UFO, or are there other steps to be taken? I'd appreciate any advice!

Dismiss all your followers, save in an interior cell where they are not in. Exit the game and restart without EFF, wait 31 days for everything to reset, and save again. Install UFO and start from the save you last made. EFF and AFT do not require anything special for an uninstall like UFO does. But regardless changing your mod load order mid game will eventually cause the game to get buggy if you do it enough times so it's a good idea to place UFO in the same spot EFF was so the load order doesn't change but the wait time should mitigate that.

UFO is kinda messed up; you should honestly just stick with EFF because it is still technically a beta, or you could switch to Amazing Follower Tweaks, but that mod is no longer supported by the developer.

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^

 

I concur. I have tried all 3, UFO has some cool bells and whistles, but "has issues" and is more trouble than it is worth IMHO. EFF has been trouble-free for me, with up to 12 mod-added followers plus 1 or 2 vanilla followers from time to time.
