Currently i am struggling with adding a new follow package to my companion. As a template i used the FollowPlayer Package, as it allows my companion to get into sandbox mode if i ask her to wait. The problem with this package is however, that whenever she is following me, she suddenly teleports a few meters back or to the side. So for instance, when she is standing right in front of me, it is possible that she suddenly teleports 10 meters into another direction. She will have to come all the way back to me then.
It seems almost like the package is trying to reset itself inbetween...thus all the teleporting.

When i used the PlayerFollowPackage (which is also used by other standard companions), this issue doesnt happen.
Now the strange thing is, that this Package i am using is almost identical to the standard follow package...so what exactly is going on ?


Does anyone have a clue ? Bethesda ?

Do you remember what you changed from the default package? I have a custom package on my follower, and don't have any similar issues. Off the top of my head, it sounds like maybe something is messed up with the Min and MaxRadius entries, so that she doesn't have a valid follow distance to choose from--that, or maybe the follow procedure is in a Simultaneous branch with a procedure that is ending, forcing an unnecessary restart. But really I'm just guessing. Linking to a screenshot of the way your package is set up might help, if you can.

I think i found the culprit : In my package there was a "second" target reference. So according to the template, my companion was supposed to follow the player...well and according to the package that used that template, she was also supposed to follow the player. The thing is just, that this was a second function which worked independently from the first ... so upon removing that, i had no more trouble. Or maybe it is because i disabled the possibly for my companion to ride if its possible ... I am not too sure about the last part yet.

Thanks for the help !
