UFO will it be back?

[Rptr04]

If I recall correctly, UFO is on the master list of outdated mods, and is reportedly less stable than the newer ones, like AFT and EFF. There is also IAFT (Immersive) which is a continuation of the original AFT, and is still being supported.

 

Can someone point me towards this master list of outdated mods, please? After many years I'm looking into getting into Skyrim SE along with mods and would like to avoid the buggy ones.

Well - there is this site: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/wiki/dangerous_mods_masterlist

The site lists mods that THEY consider outdated or even dangerous (dangerous as in might be "game breaking" - CTD's, etc)

 

You have to read the beginning of the page to get the gist of the various levels of "bad" mods.

 

By the way, the site gave Ultimate Follower Overhaul (UFO) a rating of 6 which in their words......

"Stable but still rarely presents with disruptive issues and bugs"

 

You can take that whatever way you want - personally I still use UFO and LOVE it.

Hope this helps.

UFO alters the vanilla DialogueFollower quest and it's aliases on the quest.

It also edits the vanilla DialogueFollowerScript.psc/pex.

It also edits the vanilla hireling script as well.

It breaks trying to give followers to Delphine for the blades, well it always did for me anyway.

It can leave your followers naked (if not talking to Tina) or with outfits that are not their default outfit (Talking to Tina).

This is due to the crappy method it uses for stripping a followers clothes (which breaks their vanilla outfit).

 

UFO works fine when your not using other mods that are depending on the vanilla follower system to be vanilla.

 

Bottom line, if your using other mods that affect followers then avoid UFO like the plague.

Sure it works ok, but if your changing and trying other follower mods regularly then UFO will give you problems at some point due to those edits it does to vanilla quests, scripts and forms.

Oh Vey!

First off - the only way that I found that "strips followers" using UFO is to actually TELL IT TO !!

It doesn't do it automatically!

You use the "You can dress better" command so that you can remove the basic (and stuck) clothes that the mod author of the follower created for it.

Like the UFO site says about "you can dress better":

"Converts unmovable, invisible outfit follower has to regular gear that can be removed so followers will wear whatever player places in their inventory"

 

Sure - if you remove all the clothes after using that command then - yes - the follower will be naked.

But if nudity offends you then you just give the follower whatever YOU want them to wear and they do.

I'm not sure how this is "crappy" to you.

 

And I have many different follower mods and - I repeat - do NOT have any problems.

Either I'm extremely lucky or someone else isn't. :ermm:

Same here. I do not have these supposed issues with UFO, in nearly 2000 hrs combined of LE and SE. I also run Immersive Citizens and Relationship Dialogue Overhaul, numerous add-on follower mods (several of my my own and by others) alongside UFO.
