Main Mod Update (5/6/25): Updated to 4.7.3. Please update the Immersive Start Patch as well if you use it. Patch notes: Click here!
- Added 275 dialogues for Ma'kara, including commentary when entering/leaving combat, picking locks, and speaking to her while sneaking.
- Added 10 new notes to the Shrine to the Lost Companion. As a reminder, the shrine is open indefinitely for new submissions. Please see the post on Reddit or the article on my modpage for instructions on how to submit:
-- Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/1iq5b39/call_for_participation_shrine_to_the_lost/
-- Mod Article: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/9785 - Made optional patches for JK's Skyrim and JK's Whiterun.
- Fixed/modified conditions on a bunch of the male followers' idle commentary.
- Marked KWF_LocationComments01 node in the Story Manager "Shares Event" to stop KWF from preventing vanilla followers from saying their Scenic View, Danger Ahead, and Dungeon Type commentary.
- Restructured KWF horse-riding system to start the game enabled. Ri'zakh will now be present in the Winking Skeever by default to sell horse summoning horns to the player. This is in preparation for the addition of a custom dungeon in the next big update.
- Up next: Idle commentary for Ma'kara; new quest, NPC, and custom dungeon; Ta'agra lessons with Nanak, and more!
Vigilant Patch Update (7/10/24): The KWFxVigilant Patch has been updated to version 1.7.3.1! Compatible with Vigilant 1.7.3.
This update adds the remainder of Ma'kara's audio for Acts III and IV of the Vigilant mod by vicn (~1500 new lines of dialogue). Additionally, I have added new music for Nanak's and Ma'kara's endings to the patch, fixed some bugs, and tweaked some settings to hopefully prevent rare issues from occurring. See the full patch notes linked below:
KWF x Vigilant 1.7.3.1 Patch Notes (Google Drive link)
Reminder about KWF x Vigilant
- Khajiit Will Follow now has a content patch that adds support for bringing your follower with you through the Vigilant mod by vicn.
- Fully voiced, with 5500 new lines of dialogue aimed at enhancing Vigilant without getting in its way
- Commentary on quests, locations, events, and choices the player makes
--the more you speak to your follower, the more they'll have to say - 50+ unique conversations with your follower, 150+ scenes, and 8 endings, determined by the choices you make during your playthrough
-- Vigilant and SKSE required (not suggested, *required*)
-- HIGHLY SUGGESTED that you use this with the Vigilant Voiced mod by Aelarr. Can't recommend it enough.
-- A preview of the intro to the patch is available at the Youtube link below:

- AFT/NFF/EFF Compatibility - KWF followers are NOT compatible with mods that alter follower behavior, including AFT. Their AI is convoluted, and these mods *will* break their brains.
- AI Voice Synthesis - I will not use AI synthesis to produce dialogue, and I will not approve requests from others to produce their own AI synthesized audio using voicework contained within KWF. Please respect me and all the other voice actors involved in this project and do not use our voices to train an AI algorithm without our consent.
- Khajiit Speak Patches - Use Khajiit Speak dialogue replacers for KWF at your own risk. Doing so may break quests, marriage, and cause other unpredictable behavior, especially if said patches are not updated for the current version of KWF. BA Khajiit Speak has a known crash that occurs during the wedding ceremony.
- Marriage Compatibility - KWF Followers are compatible with all vanilla, Hearthfire. Additional custom houses may be added in the future, but for now, that's it.
- Project Ja-Kha'jay - If you use the Project Ja-Kha'jay KWF replacers, you may need to UNINSTALL them when updating your version of KWF, and then reinstall them afterward. Failure to do so may result in the gray face bug for all replacer'd KWF NPCs.
KWF x Vigilant Notes:
- SKSE Required - SKSE is required for the Vigilant content patch. Additionally, Fuz Ro D-oh Silent Voice is required if you plan to bring Ma'kara along on your playthrough.
- Compatibility - The KWF x Vigilant patch has a minor conflict with Cities of the North: Dawnstar. COTN moves the XYZ coordinates of the Dawnstar Inn interior cell, resulting in the KWF follower spawning outside the playable area and falling into the void. This can be fixed by using the Khajiit-attuned Horn to summon them after entering, or by traveling to the Temple of Stendarr after accepting Altano's invite.
- Vigilant Voiced - It is HIGHLY SUGGESTED that you use this with the Vigilant Voiced mod by Aelarr. Can't recommend it enough.
- Project Ja-Kha'jay - If you use the PJKJ replacer for KWF x Vigillant, you will need to UNINSTALL it when updating KWF x Vigilant, and reinstall it afterward. Failure to do so will result in the gray face bug for KWFxVigilant NPCs.
