How to change follower distance

[Tomack13]

Could someone offer a suggestion on how to change the distance between my character and follower?  Can this be done without the use of a mod or by using console commands?

I think a STEP mod already has this functionality, "Come Together N Out of the Way".

 

The MCM menu is titled "Nausicaa's Tweaker". As to exactly how to move followers closer or farther back, I'm not sure. I think the author shows how to do it in one of the videos on the Nexus page: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33562/?

Thanks, I have tried you suggestion but it doesn't seem to make much difference at all.  The follower is about 8 to 10 steps behind my character.  This makes it difficult sometimes in smaller areas. 

 

I have a similar situation but not dealing with distance.  I have noticed that when using Convenient Horse a follower does not draw a weapon when my character does only when a threat is near or in battle.  In game the follower is supposed to mimic the character when going into sneak or drawing a weapon.  I have played with the settings in Convenient Horses but have not had any results there.  I was thinking in some way this issue with distance could be connected somehow with Convenient Horses?  Who's to say. Do you have any other ideas?  I don't mean to be a pain in the ars.

Sorry, nothing else comes to mind. I don't see how it could be connected to Convenient Horses, but I'm not an expert on that mod.

 

Maybe someone else has some ideas.

Hmm... Come Together should be allowing you to adjust your follower distance. A question though, did you do STEP and make a new character or is this on a pre-exisiting save?
