Two questions...

 

1.  What determines if an NPC can be a steward in the creation kit?

 

2. Is there any way to make an NPC a steward using the console?

 

Thank You.

1. There's no system which determines it outside of the developers themselves. However, you can find a list of NPCs that are confirmed Stewards from one of the Elder Scrolls wiki sites. 

 

As for console commands, I can't help you out there.

I would like to create new stewards.  This is not possible in the creation kit?

I believe it CAN be done from the console, but only for certain NPCs.  They need to be a current follower, and have a follower voice-type.  Just making them a follower by adding them to the follower faction (which I forget, goggle it) and raising their relationshiprank to 3 or more should do the trick.

 

I've never done it, but I've researched stewards intensively to figure out how to replace them when they die or disappear.

I have had trouble with Erik the Slayer, I want him to be my steward for my Falkreath house (Lakeview Manor) but I get no option, is there a way to make him my steward using console commands, I have used unofficial patches to try and fix this but it hasn't worked. So if you know, can you tell me a command that will give me the option to be a steward, or force him to be, and have the option to buy me a bard and all that stuff. Thanks.

They have to be a follower, have the appropriate voice type given to them (so they have the required dialogue) - and there's a few other settings you have to put forward in the CK.

 

Trying it with just console commands it going to break things.

Well, Erik the Slayer is meant to be a steward, but for some reason he doesn't give me the option, and I don't think any of the other followers give me the option.

The steward option only appears for the Hearthfire homes - and perhaps any mod homes that have bothered to implement the required content.

 

Try taking him to the property, leave him there and go back a few days later (give it a week game time) and try talking to him again.
