I'm playing a vampire with a mod called Better Vampires. One of the bonuses is that the player gets a permanent speed boost. It is quite easy to leave followers in the dust and when they are needed most they are too far behind to make a difference. So I know there has got to be a command to make their run speed a little bit faster. Tried looking through the list at UESP but didn't see anything. Someone know what command I could use?

You probably need a mod for this. Also, this may not get saved even if does work, so you would may have to do it each session if your using the console.

Well I think if you used set scale on them to make them taller it would as a byproduct cause them to run faster but then you'd have to reset them to 1.0 after you get where your going.

Click them, type "ModAV Speedmult 50" will make them 50% Faster-- but you might have to wait until they go into sneak/combat, since for the PC this doesn't kick-in right away.

Don't know about that, I have set the scale smaller on a couple of things (which does save) and they don't move any slower.

I'll try that out. Thanks everyone for the quick replies.
