Can't find an option on EFF and getting unrecognized follower

[Atmogenic]

I've got both EFF and AFT installed, I use EFF for most of the stuff but i see no option to keep follower to fight rather then run away, I use kid followers to battle with as i've got the TKAA mod but i have to talk to them and go on "when you're in a fight.." and select "fight back" to stop them from running away and to actually attack enemies. I can't find an option to that with EFF and if i don't set it to that through AFT, they just scream "leave me alone" and goes the opposite direction in fear, if someone could tell what the option is to stop that with eff then I won't need AFT anymore.

 

I also think AFT is causing the follower error as well it has shown up before a couple of times but nothing looked changed, but yesterday I found one of the TKAA girls called Morgan but I didn't like that name as it sounds boyish and not girlish so i changed it to more a girls name with EFF, everything was fine but shortly at some point i couldn't interact with her anymore, there was no "talk to <girl>" like with everyone else i got as follower, I looked it up and a person seemed to have a similar thing saying that skyrim doesn't like it when u change a nickname of a npc. It got complicated with me reloading saves, disabling/enabling and spawning another on of this girl. This started when I was doing the "Boethiah's Calling" needing someone to use on the pillar, I got sven to be used on the pillar and killed him. After when u killed the cultists I had to move all my followers away from the area as for some reason they kept killing one of the people who boethiah possessed to talk to you and after that is when I couldn't interact with the girl i changed her name to and when i travelled I got a bunch of "unrecognized follower" notices which i haven't seen so many through my entire playthrough and it removed a bunch of the followers I had, idk if its because i used the default "follow me" on sven that might have caused the bug or me changing the girl's name.

 

Somehow I reloaded a a save again but this time I kept all my followers in Whiterun whilst i went to the boethiah place myself, I used EFF to make one of the cultists my follower just to use him on the pillar and kill him. After I killed him and completed that part of the quest I travelled back to whiterun, got the follower error message and soon after the courier came to me telling me the cultist death as he was a follower, but after that it went all back to normal, the girl i renamed was fine and I played the rest of the game from yesterday normally.

 

I just don't understand what happened yesterday as it was very confusing but I have a feeling AFT is to blame with most of it.
