How do I get my followers to be able to die against enemies? (Using AFT + FLP)

[Cheyron]

So first I tried using only AFT and when I would add followers to my group, I would immediately speak to them and go into Tweak Settings and uncheck the setting that makes them essential... and that was useless as it would not allow me to kill them nor enemies, they still would go to a knee. So I installed Follower Live Package and installed the compatibility patch so it works with AFT so now I am using both. In FLP MCM settings for individual followers... I unchecked immortality and unchecked the drop to knee recovery and this actually lets me kill my followers but when enemies try to kill them they just go to a knee... is there a way to make followers actually be able to be killed against the AI enemies? I want them to be able to die in battle, I don't want to kill them myself. THANKS!

 

edit: Correction, Lydia is invincible no matter what I do... maybe because she is a housecarl and the game keeps her essential? I can only kill my 2nd follower. Enemies can kill neither.

 

edit2: ok now i downloaded volatile followers, added the batch file to vortex as a tool, ran it... enabled the created plugin which supposedly mortalized a bunch of npc's and still i see them going to a knee :/ has anyone ever achieved this?? lol

well I went through the hassle of uninstalling aft and installing immersive aft and now it adds percent chance they die when knocked down... this will do but I really wanted to see a follower get their head bitten off by a dragon and get tossed :( anything to make the follower die like the player would and get triggered with kill moves?? skyrim is such a headache to mod lol but worth it
