Any Housecarl, Any House

[dbranger94]

I found a way that seems to work, so far, to move a housecarl from one house to another.

 

Example: Move Lydia to Windhelm

 

1) Go inside Breezehome in Whiterun

2) Type ~ to open a console

3) Target (click on) Lydia

4) (Type) addtofaction 10336E -1 (I had to repeat this twice to make it "stick")

5) Close out of the console using the ~ key

6) Talk to Lydia and ask her to follow you

7) Go to Hjerim in Windhelm with Lydia

8) Once inside, type ~ again and open a console

9) Target (click on) Lydia again (If she's not still targeted)

10) (Type) addtofaction 10336F 1 (Again, I had to repeat this step twice)

11) Close out of the console, again using ~

12) Talk to Lydia and tell her it's time to part ways (Dismiss Her)

13) Lydia should now wonder around Hjerim and not try to return to Breezehome

 

This method should work, but if not here's an alternative method.

 

1) Ask Lydia to join you and take her to a remote location (Throat of the World, for example)

2) Kill her and return to Hjerim.

3) type ~ and open a console

4) (type) player.placeatme A2C8E 1

3) Target (click on) Lydia

4) (Type) addtofaction 10336E -1 (I had to repeat this twice to make it "stick")

5) (Type) addtofaction 10336F 1 (Again, I had to repeat this step twice)

6) Close out of the console, again using ~

7) Lydia should now wonder around Hjerim and not try to return to Breezehome

 

This should work for any housecarl and home that you already own.

 

Faction id's

Windhelm (Hjerim) - 10336F

Whiterun (Breezehome)- 10336E

Solitude (Proudspire Manor)- 10336D

Riften (Honeyside)- 10336C

Markarth (Vlindrel Hall)- 10336B

 

Housecarl id's

Calder - A2C90

Lydia - A2C8E

Jordis - A2C8F

Iona - A2C91

Argis - A2C8C

 

I haven't tried it, but it should be possible to place multiple housecarls in one house...

Tested this with multiple housecarls (Lydia and the Markath guy) and it works. First option did not work, second did (leaving two instances of Lydia; a dead on on the Throath and a live one in Markath). However, after restarting Skyrim and reloading she returns to Breezehome again if I dismiss her.

 

Edit: Ok must be a bug; i reloaded my game within Vlindrel Hall twice and she stayed.
