[Help] Sofia always “leaves” when Vilja joins.

PC Classic - Help

I have AFT; Inigo, Recorder, and Sofia follow me around because they’re my go-to-team. I also installed Ambriel and Vilja because they interact with Recorder and Inigo respectively; Inigo and Sofia interact with the game NPCs so it feels more immersive with everyone interacting with each other and around them.

Okay so here’s the issue: when I add Vilja to the troupe, Sofia suddenly “leaves” my service and heads back to our home base. Technically she’s still in my service but dismissing and then readmitting her in doesn’t work; she’ll drop dialogue but other than that she’ll behave like she’s still out of my service. I’ve tried dismissing Vilja but it doesn’t change anything, tried dismissing Sofia first, having Vilja join, and then readmitting Sofia, but it still doesn’t work. Sofia just teleports wherever I am and heads straight back.

I’m thinking this is a mod issue between the two; it doesn’t affect Inigo nor Recorder, just Sofia. Any solutions, or should I just dump one of two gals?

Also I’m posting on mobile, so sorry if I mess up!

Considering that those two would probably hate one another... I have to confess, the title of this thread seriously made me laugh. :D

Anyway, I do hope you get it sorted, those kinds of problems can be a pain to troubleshoot.

I have been using them in a earlier playthrough both together, its not a Modconflict. Its some problem with your AFT. I was using EFF and it worked, but should work with AFT too.

Ah, okay then. Do you think I should move AFT around in the modlist, or replace it with EFF?

You aren't using AFT to manage any of them are you?

No, just so I can have multiple followers.

Then glitches like that shouldn't be happening. As far as I know those followers are made in such a way as to not even take up a slot. In any case you could solve this problem by making one of them follow Vilja, if they have that in their dialogues that is.

I managed to fix the issue by moving Sofia up the load order, but the Vilja following idea was going to be my second choice. Thanks!

It might be worth tinkering with the load order of the followers/AFT, when I had a custom follower who did something similar shifting it after AFT seemed to solve the problem.

I tinkered with the load order and just moved Sofia “above/in front” of AFT and “under/behind” Sofia and Inigo, and that seemed to work because now Sofia is back to following me again. So thanks!
