FO4 custom followers not following

[grauritter]

Hello,

 

I have downloaded several custom followers for Fallout 4. When talking to them, they all have the "follow me" command at the bottom of the talk radial. I hit it, and the dialogue closes after my character and follower shake their heads affirmative, the radial closes; then the follower goes back to some idle function like sitting or eating, etc. They will not follow me, not matter how far from their position I go.

 

 

I have tried to resurrect them. I have used console command SetRelationshipRank Player 4 and SetPlayerTeamMate 1. No error was reported. No change to their following of me.

 

Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution. I have spent several hours reading posts all over the web, I have gotten nowhere :(

 

It cannot be just the follower, because I have followers from different authors and it happens to all of them.

 

Thank you for any help anyone might provide.

Follow up with further information. Standalone Follower Pheobe works without issue.

I have encountered 2 followers inside a structure and they refuse to leave the structure. Even when I leave the structure and give them the command to stand closer to me (outside), they run out to the point, then immediately turn around and run back inside.

I have also encountered one follower in the wild and she just stands there.

 

Any ideas?

I have found that some NPCs cannot be recruited using just console commands any more, the game has changed. so you will need to create a ESP by getting their base ID then make them a follower.
