Quality of Life

A simple mod that changes the distance of which followers draw their weapons so they only draw them when entering combat, similar to Alek's Convenient Horses mod.



I've gone and ESL'd the plugin. Perms were open and support will continue.


Works on any version of the game, SE/AE compatible.


Main File value - 30.00000 (Updated mod's value setting. ESL) Doesn't require anything...install and go!

Main File #2 NoPlugin version - Uses the mod Game Settings Override and a .TOML file to function. Requires SKSE and GSO!


Optional File value - 0.00000 (original mod's value setting. ESL)
