NoelOne Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Ran into a problem with a custom Follower, Lolidia getting stuck in a corner. After trying a lot of different things I gave up and uninstalled, then reinstalled, the Mod. However I can't make her a follower again because I 'already have a Follower.' I don't.I'm assuming there is a 'flag' somewhere that the game checks to see if I have a follower that has not reset and, I have no clue at all how to find it. Any help would be appreciated.

nightscrawl Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So what exactly did you try before you uninstalled the mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelOne Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) I interacted with her, 'called her', even pushed her out of the corner. I tried 'placeatme ' using her ID and, no joy. I also tried firing her but, she didn't react to that, either. She seemed frozen. So, I uninstalled the mod, and reinstalled it. When I tried to make her a follower again, I got the message "It seems you already have someone with you." When I tried to get her to follow me, thinking the Mod had still listed her as follower but, again,no joy.That is when I tried to get a different follower, (Lydia the Housecarl) I again received the 'seems you already have a follower" message. So, I'm thinking the Follower flag has not reset. BUT, I'm not sure where to find it or, if I can manually reset it. I DID get a workaround, sort of, I jumped back about 15 hours to an old savgame. It solved the problem but I'd like to know how to fix it if the problem occurs again. Edited October 11, 2017 by noel_one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscrawl Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) When you reinstalled the mod, did you load a save where you had her with you? That is, a save before you uninstalled the mod. If you were indoors, the default save settings have an auto-save right as you enter a new place. Did you try exiting to get her to automatically follow? Edited October 11, 2017 by nightscrawl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelOne Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 No , I used a save before I made her a follower. I did exit the Barrow after she got stuck, in hopes she would follow. I went back to Whiterun (on foot) and she did not show up. That is when I said 'screw it' and uninstalled the mod. Going to the earlier save did solve the problem of the follower glitch but, I would like to know how to remedy it in future, should it happen again. On a totally different note, do you know the best Program to unpack a BSA to edit a file inside? I'm probably going to wreck my game but, thought I would try my hand at some creative changes of a few minor things in a Mod that bug the Hades out of me.

nightscrawl Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 As long as you have a previous save to go back to, your game should be fine. You can use BSA-Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelOne Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Thanks. I'll give that a try. Never tried editing a mod so, it should to be a learning experience, one way or the other. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMartyr Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Set the Player Follower Count to Zero using console, I don't remember the exact console code ATM, so you need to look up, or someone with a better memory might know. Then you won't have a Phantom Follower. Next time before you uninstall a Follower Mod. Dismiss all your Followers!

NoelOne Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Thanks PeterMartyr. I'll find the command from someplace and do that, next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
