Sibastion Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 not dismissing them.. they wont save when they are following you.I'm not sure what you mean if you want to explain a little better and I will try to help you. Are you marking your followers as unique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarons6 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 yes unique and essential. if i tell one to follow me.. then say i go do some stuff, and i want to go eat.i save the game, and close it. go eat.. come back, load the game, my follow will not be there. it also wont be where i put it.. its just not loaded.it wont be anywhere.. but the game still has the flag set that i have a follower, meaning i cant go get another one.

zetenrisiel Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 *Sigh* OK so I tried both fixes and neither worked. I'm thinking either A.) Since I saved while the error was active I might have fixed the problem but won't know until I can get rid of my follower and the get her back.B.) Since I had to save the changes to an esp( about 5 actually, truth be told) it may be trying to overwrite the defective esm thus still deleting my current follower. I think at this point I'm going to have to scrap the whole thing and start over with the advice from this thread. It's gonna mean losing several hours of work but it's better than banging my head against the wall for the next few days. I'll let you know how it goes, Thanks for the help guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zetenrisiel Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Ok well it works mostly now. I have to load my game twice before she'll show up, but that's tolerable. thanks again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarons6 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) i found out through testing that in order to make the follower show up and work perfect you need both an esm and an esp.. first make the follower actor, save it as esp, then convert that to esm.then load that esm and do the ctrl-f4 and place the follower in the world and save that as esp. load both esm and esp in the game and your follower will work perfect.
