The purpose of this wiki is to help the community tackle one of the most important problems we face: compatibility between all our mods, in particular those mods that introduce custom companions.

I'll share with you my approach to handling companions, based on what I have done with my mod, [http://social.bioware.com/project/3152/ Quests and Legends], my experiments and experience. My goal has always been to be the least intrusive to the game core resources (meaning don't change them at all), while having the companion behave appropriately in most parts of the game.

What I'll talk about here works for Patch 1.02, but after some testing, it seems to be working fine also for those with Awakening and/or even Patch 1.03. So there's something going on with the flags probably of Patch 1.04 (they changed from these below?). This patch has always broken my game when I installed it so I don't know what the problem is there.

I've opened a discussion thread [http://social.bioware.com/project/3152/discussion/2722/ here]. Please join in with your questions/comments/suggestions.

Everything you see below is done WITHOUT changing game resources.

-What I'll talk about here works for Patch 1.02, but after many months of testing, it seems to be working fine also for those with Awakening, Ultimate Edition and/or even Patch 1.03, 1.04. The issue with Awakening is that bioware has apparently changed the role of "mod directory"/module/override (this is what our tests showed). SO all scripts should be dumped in "mod directory"/core/override to ensure everything runs smoothly. I do not recommend dumping stuff into packages/core/override, other than new models, morphs etc. Anything in here (like scripts, gda etc), WILL destroy your game and other mods if you're not careful. I never touch that directory.
