Hi, simply remove these messages and put them in ingame book per exemple if you think they are very important...so no more bug ! I think your messages bug my game andbring a cliping black screen when i load a game...i am testing atm another game with install after the intro of the game when i am in whiterun.

THIS MOD IS NO LONGER REQUIRED. @Smallturns Sorry, I've not been developing H4F for a while. Best to install H4F after the opening part of the game to avoid those messages when starting the game. If I start modding again, I will look into this. Messages only appear for the first time or after upgrade.

Can you or if not you Spudgunner then some other commenter on here help me to understand the mods description because I have the horse for followers one from the same guy spudgunner it looks like installed but at the very beginning of the game where your hands are bound it come up with all of these messages basically saying that their are better mod than the one I currently have subscribe to atless that's what I think it said (not sure if i'am the only one it happens too) but that's what comes up in-game?

OKAY SO, I'VE UNSUBSCRIBED FROM THIS MOD, I'VE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED THE GAME. AND YET, I KEEP GETTING THE BLOODY MESSAGES AT THE START OF THE GAME WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. I'm sorry its just so bloody annoying to get those messages I want to get rid of them.

@Spudgunner I've never used Nexus before but I'll give it a shot. Thank you for your timely response.

@TheWhiteKnight Go to the "Horses for Followers" page at Nexus. Ignore the main file and download the hotfix plugin. Then copy it over the plugin from the workshop in the Skyrim/Data folder.

@Spudgunner, I haven't played this game for a couple of years. I subscribed to Better Followers and Horses for Followers back then. I really liked the Better Followers MOD, it stopped them from being right up your ass and blocking you in all doorways, not to the mention the dozens of others annoying things they do.

Since I started playing again I followed your on-screen instructions explicitly. However, I'm finding that the followers have reverted to their annoying vanilla actions. Could you advice why this may be?

@RedMage This is an empty plugin - it does nothing. I moved everything into Horses for Followers for simplicity. I made it empty to help facilitate the cross-over to a single mod for existing users.

Remove this plugin from your data folder, then subscribe to "Horses for Followers" (link on the right). Then head over to Nexus and get the hotfix to replace the plugin.

When you play, just go to a stable and buy your own horse (if you haven't got one yet), then buy the followers horse. You should see "I need a horse for my companion." Companion = followers, hirelings and, if you have done the quests, The Companion Guild members. There are other type of special followers but they aren't included yet.

because of some reason i cant buy horses for my follower/s.
Can you help me out??

@Old gamer Sorry you had to go back in your game. Was that save from before you installed the mod? Well thats one kind of a clean save method.

When you say freeze, was that the whole game or an animation stopped? If it was a stuck animation you could have opened the console , click the frozen NPC and type disable . turn console off and the NPC disappears. Immediately turn console on again and type enable . Don't lose the ID if ever you do this. Then the animation state fixes itself. Another way is to go through a load door and return sometimes works.

Its recommended to install over a clean save because the new versions of Horse For Followers is structured differently. If you click this link: Horses For Followers or click the link on the right under Required Items . Go down to the comments section and find one of mine dated 16 Oct. There I show how to install over partially cleaned save.

Well, I did have a little trouble. When I clicked "Continue from your last saved game" it said its usual "This save relies on content that is no longer present" I clicked "Yes" and the game would freeze right after that. Went into my Skyrim folder and deleted a couple of saves and fixed it right up.

Hm. Well I ain't havin' no trouble with my horses. Think I'll just leave'em alone.

LATEST UPDATE IS JUST AN EMPTY PLUGIN.

This is to ensure that it cannot clash with the new version of Horses For Followers, which no longer requires this file. Just follow the Partially Clean Save install described by the new mod and readmes.

THIS MOD IS NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR HORSES FOR FOLLOWERS. The content of this mod and much more is rolled into a single mod. Only subscribe to Horses for Followers (same author).

love the etheral horse mod but my follower will not get on the horse i summon for her. Any idea what im doing wrong?

how many horses can you buy?

How do i download this?

I have tried several mod Followers and they rode the horse trick is to buy your horse and also a horse called followers horse.

Is this mod helping a lot?

NO INSTRUcTIONS ON THIS MOD HOW THE HECK DO YOU INSTALL THIS

quest is Dawnguard

Question dear friend, can mod created followers mount horses. mine is not, it is Kari

You can always unsub. For me it didn't effect skyrim else than that your followers are able to ride horses

i have not got any quest selected, but Faendal does not want to ride his horse...

Is there a problem with how many many actiev quests are activated at a time with this mod? After I finished the kynesgrove/blades quest with uthgerd the unbroken as my follower, I expected it to work because for that quest there is a follow mechanism. Unfortunately, it never started working for me.

I had J'zargo following me from Windhelm for the College quest, "Revealing the Unseen". I paid for his horse and nothing happened.

sorry man, didn't work on athis...

My followers won't ride anymore :(

I think I have a problem because my follower is my spouse, he is now very buggy. And..his horse keeps trying to get in the house. It's nice to have him be able to ride, very cool indeed

La pauvre Lydia me faisiat îtié à courir dérrière moi, j'éspère qu'avec tes 2 mods elle va pouvoir me suivre nimp.

this isn't working... i have both mods that you created and my follower (Lydia) still won't ride the horse i bought her... help?

I have had my follower not use the horse only once. It was Vilkas during the Companions quest to take out the Silver Hand after Kodlak's death. I was thinking it was because it's a "forced" follower and not a choice at that point.

I have a few quests, not on any this mod ( with Horses for Followers ) won't work! I have Serana with me, and all 3 DLC-s, bought game on Steam. Serana won't ride the horse, and I'm not even thinking about leaving her! Tried to buy her a horse, but I can't! I go to Markath ( bought first in Whiterun ), and all i get is another horse I own! ( My name in the game is Warren, and in both says Warren's Horse ). I dunno what to do! Please, help! :( And I liked this mod from description soo much, i use Conjure Rideable Ethereal Horse Spell mod with this, and it still won't work! Maybe bcause i use SKSE... ?

It used to work fine, but then I changed of follower and the new one just don't wanna ride the horse ! Is there a command to... I don't know reset the settings ? Or something like that? Still a nice mod tho !

Superb, much needed mod (lost my first 2 horses in ridiculous kamikaze charges from the crazy vanilla horsees : D). I havent had any probelms and its one of those great mods that should have been 'features'...but once installed seem liek they were in the game all along.

Thanks.

Didnt need any fiddling...just clicked subscribe and it worked (along with the other mods that go wth this ofc)

Subbd Favd

when I have this subscribed the followers don't follow...

Where's the download link

How can I download it? I subscribed it, but I don't see a download link.

Never mind dunno why but it worked again :s

These are things i have\done that might triggered it to worked (not sure) i am a bit surprised that out of the blue it works again.

1) I have SKSE for some mods (this might be the solution but i ran this one before and still it didn't work so not quite sure).
2) I un-subscribed and subscribed again and opened Skyrim through steam so it can update (had done that before and got erros like my topic under here mentioned but it may made it work).
3) Quicksave before buying a horse buy one go on your Companion horse and if the mod works she will go onto Your horse (companion horses are cooler then those that we get :\ ) If it aint working exit let steam check for possible updates and open Steam through SKSE.

Try this out and maybe it will go to work if not let me know then i have to check what i did (not editing mod) what did make it work. I will do my best to help everyone out.

Hey :)

I have been using this mod before and it seemed to work back then but now it aint working :\
Its been a long time since i played Skyrim Last and wanted to enjoy the awsome mods the modding community created.
This is the problem when i open Skyrim (through steam ofcourse) it will detect all mods installed and then it says that an error accured when it scans Horse for Followers.

Does anyone got an idea on how to make this work? I also have the mod better follower improvements but Lydia (not sure if other companions 2) won't mount her horse :\

If anyone know a way to get this fixed i would appreciate it :) This mod was amazing and i want to make use of it once again :)

Thanks

This doesnt work........

i can band 7 follower , so 7 follower can horseback riding?

my follower, Uthgerd the Unbroken wont get on the horse i bought her
quest: Discerning the mundane

Does this do anything else other than having horses for followers?

@klaine99 : Navigate to \Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data. Although. Internet says its an esm, so load order won't help. That means my plugin will have to include the dawnguard esm into its header.

Ask at the modding forums if there is a way to edit my plugin to include the dawnguard esm in both my plugins header. You can try installing the Creation Kit - but make a backup of my plugins first.

Watch "Creation Kit Tutorial Series - Episode 1: Introduction to the Kit" on Youtube.

Start Creation Kit, click FILE > DATA and make sure only one of my plugins is ticked (not both). Make sure dawnguard esm is ticked and the skyrim esm. You only want those three. Then select my esp and click "Set as active file". Then click OK and this will load all three files. Ignore error warnings as the creation tool is buggy. Then just save. This will now associate my plugin with Dawnguard.

Repeat those steps for my other plugin.

How can I tell whether its esm or esp?

@klaine99 : Is Dawnguard a master (esm) or just a regular plugin (esp)? As far I recall, ordinary plugins cannot influence each other usually - but masters are ok ast they are designed to be overlayed by plugins. Check load order making my two later than Dawnguard (only if its a esp type plugin).

So I have Serana as my follower from Dawnguard, do I have to see a specific dialogue that says "Buy horse for follower" ? Or can I just buy a horse? I currently ride Shadowmere, and I bought a horse in Whiterun for Serana. And I subscribed to both your mods, and made sure it was checked in the Data screen before the game starts. I'm not sure what to do at this point, am I doing something wrong? Does she have to be part of a questline for her to ride a horse and follow?

Lydia does not mount the horse

i have no option to buy a horse for my follower.
