tried it this afternoon, but no joy.
I took all special equipment from by followers and stored it away, then dismissed them all from service. I then saved. I installed the new mod, and deactivated two other mods that are related to followers. I then went into tha game and recurited followers again. But the new additional commands did not do anything, and the one follower I forgot to skip before, could not be fired anymore. Also, I was missing some of the useful commands the other mod was giivng me, especially to tell followers in which way to fight. The "build camp" command also seemed to have gone, which is a nice one when using the frost mod.
I u-turned and returned to the old mods. My three babes are back, and despite that I need to tell them often to wear best armour, we all are a happy family again.
