Console Instruction – choose any NPC as follower
For This Mod, you can have any NPC as your favorite follower using console.
Not finding any good description yet, allow us to add one – actually its very simple. This works for any NPC that enters conversation with you. This can using it with Sylgia long term and its working flawless. And this Mod also tested with a random hunter such as placeatme 73FBE and it works very perfect. But this Mod does not work with NPC’s that never open conversation dialogues or placeatme 45802. You can do anything you can do with any other follower, including managing their inventory….!
- How to making NPC a follower….?
1) open console (^-key)
2) click target NPC with mouse (Note the NPC-ID highlighted!)
3) type “addfac 5C84D 1 - But if you want to marry too, use “addfac 19809 1″ in addition – Sideeffects might occure though.
( The married Sylgia before making her follower, thus marriage via console is not tested)
4) type “Setrelationshiprank <NPC-ID> 4″
5) type “Player.sertrelationshiprank <NPC-ID> 4″ - So now the NPC can already be recruited, though the behavior might not be ideal for adventuring.
You may turn your favorite NPC into a born adventurer though:1.NPC behavior: NIGHTBLADE (thief/caster)

This case they are overdressed such as armor. You can use showinventory on them and then do a removeitem or <itemid> 1″ for anything you don’t want them to wear. Afterthat you can equip them normaly in game and also with standard clothing.

- setav onehanded 60
- setav lightarmor 100 (don’t want them to die too easy)
- setav sneaking 80
- setav agression 1
- setav confidence 2
This can not doubt you want to equip the NPC with the best bows and best light armor you have. But this can be done in game without any further console commands.
The last advice though, We recommend not to choose essential characters like scripted quests events might potentially mess them up. And in general though, anybody can kill should be a viable choice. At least once their quests are done….
Enjoy…guys !
