Skyrim Creation Kit Assistance

[plantperson]

I am trying to make a follower with the creation kit. My follower is an alchemist, so I'm trying to make her give me lesser healing potions. Since I can't script, I'm not sure how to go about this. Since I am quite inexperienced, I am even having trouble with making a dialogue option appear to use for asking for the potion. Any help is appreciated.

I think this should go in the "Skyrim Mods Help" section but anyways it sounds like a fairly easy question to answer (how to have inventory access with your new NPC follower):

 

Skyrim includes some vanilla packages that allow inventory access for followers, you just have to use those packages in creating your follower. See here for example: https://levelskip.com/rpgs/Hot-to-Turn-Your-Skyrim-Character-into-a-Follower (scroll down to Part 8 for the factioning), or here: http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Adding_a_Follower_NPC_to_Skyrim - that will enable the similar dialog to say, Lydia, which should let you into his/her inventory. Then just add whatever items you want into your follower's inventory - you can set them up with some gear to start, and then add stuff as you go while playing (just as you would with, say, Lydia). Should work nicely with follower mods like AFT or UFO too.
