The follower mods in Skyrim have a lot of effort put into them, often leading them to rival some of the best companions in the base game. A lot of this longevity can be credited to the Skyrim modding community that helps keep the game fresh. Skyrim Special Edition was released in 2016 and has outlived most games. This list of the 21 best Skyrim follower mods should provide you with a bunch of fresh faces that you can pick from to journey along with you through in your next playthrough.

Skyrim has an astonishingly fun follower system, giving the Dragonborn a partner venture off into the world.
