It is the same as in vanilla in almost all mods.
You visit taverns and will find book merchants, slave traders, bards and companions.
The people move about every so often. So either move around city to city visiting every tavern or use the teleport cheat to visit all cities with almost no time passing. Since all companions should be on the map you can get them all that way.
