I've seen someone post some "forbidden romance" mods on the Nexus that allow you to romance already married NPCs. I haven't tried them because I don't have an interest in marrying any of the NPCs... so I don't know how they work. But it implies that it's possible to make a mod like this for you. They are all made by the same person (username - theroll) so you could try contacting them and ask how they did it.

 

Well, I've mailed the lad. Maybe we might be lucky? (:

 

I don't know if he responded to you, but I was looking at latest uploads just now and saw this: http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6631 . It's by a different person... Might help though.

 

Edit: and of course, I browsed a few more pages and saw http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6612 by theroll. Now you have choices.

I found a new way to get the follower-faction sorted (according to: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615805-/61242343). It did work for me with several NPCs. Might do the trick with Karliah too...:

 

1. Find the NPC you want to make a follower/marry. Open console with the tilde key. Click on the NPC. The NPC's ID will pop up when you click them, take note of the ID, you'll be using it later when you are setting relationship via console command.

 

If you want to marry the NPC type in: addfac 19809 1

If you want to make the NPC a follower type in: addfac 5C84D 1

 

2. Inorder for the follow/marriage choice to appear, the NPC has to like you. To do this, you need to set the NPC's relationship level. To set the relationship between you and the follower correctly, you need to type in BOTH OF the following lines into the console.

 

Setrelationshiprank "NPC ID HERE" 4

Player.setrelationshiprank "NPC ID HERE" 4

 

3. For certain NPCs, the marriage/follow options will not appear until you reset the NPCs dialogue options, to do so, type the following lines into the console.

 

Disable

Enable

 

4. If you just want to marry an NPC, you're done after the last step, the 4th step only pertains to people who are making NPCs followers. Inorder for some followers to fight enemies and instead of running around like idiots, you need to set their confidence level. To do this, open the console, click the NPC, and type the following lines into the console.

 

setav aggression 1

setav confidence 3

 

5. The last step you have to do is set your follower to essential, inorder to do this you need to use the NPCs ID Number. To figure out the ID number you need to type the following into the console.

 

Help "NPCs Name" 4

 

This will give you the ID, along with a lot of other random data about the NPC, take the code you find and type in the line below.

 

setessential "The ID you found" 1

 

6. You might find your new follower weak, and that's because your new follower does not level with you. Chances are they are a very low level and will die very quickly to anything that attacks them. The easiest way to remedy this is to open the console, click your follower and type.

 

setlevel "Insert level here"

 

After you complete step six, you're done. You now have your own essential NPC follower to do your bidding. Take note, if you do not set the NPC as essential, when they die, you may lose the NPC for good. Using resurrect on the NPC via the console will bring the NPC back to life, but the NPC will no longer follow you and may disappear from the game completely. So far, I haven't found a way around this, so setting the NPC to essential is a must.
