2 very small quick questions involving CK custom followers

[thunderwolf86]

first of all im having some trouble getting a non-humanoid follower to work. it created the npc but i couldnt talk to him at all. he just kinda stood there. i know it can be done as i have seen hagravens, dragon priests, falmer, trolls and others all with the voice of other follower npc's but they do work. i know how to create a follower in the most basic way but not a creature follower. what step am i missing?

 

secondly with every follower i create and then go into the game and tell them to follow me thier armor changes to steel set, even though it isnt in the inventory. for example i created a follower and gave him the scaled horned armor set and he was wearing it when i saw him, but as soon as i told him to follow me he changed to the steel set and the scaled set wasnt in his inventory anymore, (i use amazing follower tweaks so i can see his entire inventory). how do i make them keep the armor set i give them in the CK?

thats all i need help with, thanks

For the first issue, did you give it a human voice type?

 

2nd issue - I'm guessing that you are using the same vanilla npc to edit and turn into a new follower, and his default armor is steel armor. If I am correct, then I will also guess that the outfit you are giving the follower is being placed in their inventory, and not in the "default outfit" section above the inventory. You need to select an outfit from the drop down box. If you want to create a new outfit, then you need to go to the leveled item section in the object window and create a new one by dragging and dropping the equipment you want into a leveled list, then adding that from the drop down box.

 

And if I'm wrong, then please post a screenshot of the inventory tab

yes i had a human voice given to him, i believe it was maledarkelf, but still nothing

 

that was the section where i changed his armor to scaled, that drop down menu. here ill post what was added cause i dont know how to take a screenshot.

default outfit - armorscaledbnohelmut

sleep outfit - none

object window - steel battleaxe

that is it, thats everything, no steel armor set anywhere.
