Most mods seek to mute or silence Heimskr, or find increasingly elaborate ways to kill him. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE MODS.
Heimskr has been revamped, as a fully armed and operational follower. Both Files are Marked as ESL.

Questions and Answers -
- Q) What makes this better than just using a mod like Everyone is an Adventurer to turn the vanilla NPC into a follower?
- A) EIAA is a fine mod, to be sure, but that mod and like functionality in other mods just kicks Heimskr into the requisite factions for following and gives him the right relationshiprank. My mod goes a step further by preserving the essence of his sparkling personality as a follower, and adds a couple nifty bonuses on top of that.
- Q) How do I get Heimskr to join me?? Oh God I need to know
- A) Just ask Heimskr about Talos! He will agree to follow you after he has finished speaking with you.
- Q) I sided with the milk-drinking Imperials in the Civil War and now Heimskr is in the hoosegow! How do I get him??
- A) Break him out, I guess? You're thane of Whiterun, start acting like it!
- Q) I was in a fight and Heimskr died! How come he isn't essential??
- A) Essential status is for women and elves! Heimskr comes as protected by default - if he dies, it is because you were very clumsy at just the wrong moment. Watch your aim next time! And if you really must make him essential, there is a console command for that, and EFF for sure, but also possibly UFO and AFT, have functionality to turn him essential.

This mod modifies relatively little in the way of vanilla resources for what it is; Heimskr's class, and the quest used to make him preach while following in the group were made especially for the mod. However, it does modify some vanilla Dialog Topics - mainly to redirect some from being exclusive to Belrand, who shares Heimskr's MaleNord voicetype, to being global to the MaleNord voicetype. I have done some testing with EFF and UFO, and it appears to work fine in spite of this. EFF users will want to use the menu commands, not the dialog commands, to make him wait and dismiss him, however.
As a final note, also make sure that HEIMSKR FOREVER.esp is loading *after* the plugins for EFF/UFO/AFT; it's possible he will still work but I can only guarantee he will work if his plugin is loading after those.
