I'm working on a follower mod, and one conversation involves said follower giving an item to the player. Thing is, this seemingly very simple thing is apparently much more complicated than I'd thought. I've done a little bit of research online and from what I can gather you're supposed to turn the item in question into a quest alias, then reference that quest alias in the script for giving the item, but so far this hasn't worked for me, so if anyone would be willing to provide a step-by-step guide to this for stupid dummies like me I'd appreciate it.
