The thing that never got any fix is the missing troops that you sent along the companion. That mod makes your companion respawn at their initial spawn point without transfering closer to you, but the troops are just completely gone. For example : poacher quest requires a minimum of 16. This HOLDING bug often occurs 2-3 times at the same time, so you get 3 companions that all 3 don't return and all their troops are gone too. Ends every playthrough for me up till this point.
