Generic followers are very annoying when you stand still, if you have quite a few followers. They will often run into you and then complain about it. I cannot find any mod that adjusts follower behavior. eg. what things they do while waiting for you if you are standing still. Specifically I would like to disable them from running, and running into you. It seems there are at least 4 states they enter: 1. Idle animation (this is fine) 2. Walking 3. Running 4. Sitting Apparently Vilja follower has a superior AI for movement control that prevents her running into you. If there was a mod that could apply her AI system to all generic followers, that would be awesome!

I'm prepared to make my first mod, because I feel it's necessary and there is no mod currently available that can help. It's a mod to alter the behavior of followers when they are idling. I have had success using Xedit to modify an existing esp file that alters follower behavior (Follower AI Tweaks). But there are more parameters I would like to modify which are not present in that mod. Specifically I want to eliminate some follower behaviors that occur when I'm standing still. For example, every so often they will start running in a random direction, and sometimes that means running into me and pushing me where I don't want to go. Can anyone give some advice on how I would find the parameters to adjust for this? Is the simplest way to change them to create my own mod in Creation Kit with esp file, or is there an easier way? Thanks for your help in advance!
