Mod Description: Warden's Army

This mod builds upon my previous work, the  "New compatible patch for all playable mature companion mod" While it’s not yet fully complete, I’ve reached a good stage where it’s playable and functional.

Warden's Army is a hub which mix all existing playable companions from different mods together in your party picker. It also provide player additional quest / 
A new armor set / a couple of new companion while enhance external companion mod with additional feature which provide better game experience.

With Warden's Army mod install, you can now play whatever companion mod you want. (In the past, those mods are not fully compatible with each other)

If you want to play the new content, you will need to install the corresponding companion mod. The more mod you install, the more content will reveal in the game.

Note: If you don't know how to install any specific companion mod, go check my previous mod to get download link and installation instruction.

Installation Instructions:

Important Note:

Your existing companions will still appear in the party picker because Warden’s army already includes all support mods (both normal and mature versions).
Feel free to try out the mod and share your feedback! Your opinions and suggestions will help me improve it further.
