Convenient Horses - Followers not mounting

[Icarium89]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a problem with Convenient Horses / EFF. I tried several followers (mercenaries and custom followers), but I don't get them to mount. They are always running behind me and just ignore the fact that there is a mod which would make all this less exhausting :wink:

- the load order was optimized with LOOT (integrated in MO)

- all plugins were cleaned with TES5Edit

- a merged patch was generated with TES5Edit (no lvld lists)

- a bashed patch was generated with WyreBash

- patches for FNIS and DSR were generated

So basically everything works just fine. No CTD, no lag, nothing. Even all the other features of Convenient Horeses work (whistle). The only thing that doesn't work is the mounting.

One theory of me is that they don't get horses assigned. I tried tweaking with it in the MCM menu and assign them globally, but this didn't help.

One odd thing is that there is no dialogue to assing horses to the followers (which I understood, there should be)

If you need further Information, just ask for it.

This isnt a direct solution to your problem but i would use immersive horses instead.

 

It does pretty much everything convenient horses does but its much lighter weight (fewer scripts).

 

I use EFF + Immersive horses.

 

Q: Is this mod compatible with EFF, AFT or other follower mods? (...) AFT's approach is much more tightly coupled to the stables quest, which limits the horses than can be ridden by followers to only those purchased at the stables. Since IHO also allows you to steal and/or claim horses, these horses can not be ridden by followers of AFT, even if a compatibility patch were made, unless the patch involved a significant overhaul of AFT in the process.

Well I think there are some features in Convenient Horses(CH), which are not available in Immersive Horses (like charge attacks).

 

When you read the CH page they recommend EFF and EFF recommends CH. So I thought they might work best together.

Yes. I said they do mostly the same things. Immersive horses is just much less script heavy.

 

The answer to your orginal question tho is horses must be purchased in order for followers to ride.

Well I am not sure about that. In their Video the followers just mount their horses.

 

They also wrote on their page:

 

once enabled each follower will be provided with a personal named horse that nobody else can ride. If horse is killed a new one will be provided. This whole system is automatic and you don't have to worry about their horses at all.

 

 

what you meant is applyable to AFT, which I don't use.

 

Pls correct me if I am confusing something

 

anyways :wink: Thank you very much for helping me find the Problem

 

P.S.: on the stables I am not able to buy any horses for my followers.

 

P.P.S: I thought maybe this might be a problem :

 

• Conflicts with mods that use Variable01 actor value on followers, which is used by CH to store horse skin and armor selection.

But the only Mods that modify followers are:

EFF (which schould be compatible)

Convenient Horses (which is not working correctly)

My Home is your home 2 plus (which I disabled, started a new game and didn't solve the problem)

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling Convenient Horses? I haven't had the problem you describe, but sometimes after a while the CH "auto loot" function stops working for me. Whenever that happens (rarely, actually) I uninstall/reinstall and it solves the problem. (Just make sure you follow the instructions on the mod page, ie type "stopquest ch" before uninstalling and make a clean save.

 

Anyways, yeah, not specific to your problem but might be worth a shot.

Yep,

 

reinstalled it and tried with a complete restart (still at the beginning and no save game which is worth extensive cleaning), but I did not type "stopquest ch", which should be no problem with a complete restart?

[ironbender800]

I had the same issue with EFF and IH.

 

Pretty sure followers only ride bought horses........so if you find a free horse and make it yours....then get a follower....they wont ride.

Did you ever solve this issue? I am experiencing the same exact thing now.

[Wyvernboy]

Got this same bug recently only when I just started using custom race (Ohmes Raht race). Apparently some custom races have the same issues according to the author of AFT.
