About this mod

Adds a dialogue topic to the companion menu which when selected will update the companion\'s skills to their current level to keep pace with the player.

CM Companion Level Mod
======================

NOTE: This mod is no longer necessary, since Skyrim Patch v.1.6 has fixed the bug. Companions will now level their skills every time the Player levels up.

Adds a dialogue topic to the companion menu which when selected will update the companion's skills to their current level to keep pace with the player. It is true that companions level up as the player does, but the default Bethesda companion system does not raise a companion's skills, so the companion becomes more and more useless as the player levels up.

The dialogue topic added is "What have you learned?" When activated, the companion will be disabled, which will cause he/she to disappear, moved to a position just behind the player, and then enabled again. A SetRace function is used to initiate the leveling of skills during this process, and therefore does not necessitate moving the companion's inventory to prevent items from being lost.

This mod will work with any mod that uses the Bethesda companion system, dialogue, and scripting. A new dialogue topic was added through a separate quest, so does not change the default nor can it conflict with anything else. It will work with standard Bethesda companions and levels up both normal companions and mercenaries.

It is strongly recommended that the AskFollowerSkills mod be used along with the CM Companion Level Mod so that you can see the changes made to the companions' skills.

The original script fragment that is attached to the dialogue topic was based on Leon Fenton's spell scripting in his LFSpell Level Followers - Call Follower Mod and used with his permission.
