How Do i set followers to essential?

[The Maggot Guy]

Basically yeah... Specifically Brelyna Maryon.

[MaximumEffort]

Open console - click on them - setessential 1

In case she is not nearby and to make sure it works, you can check UESP and use her actorID and pridID

[The Maggot Guy]

invalid actor base '1' for paremeter Actor Base

is what I get. I then tried to input the id both with ad without 000 in front, (even though the 0's don't matter) and it didn't work then.

[The Maggot Guy]

For your help her ref id is 1c1a4 for my game. I would really genuinely rather I don't have to use any ressurect commands. I modified her carryweight to something like 10,000 and use her a a house. I havent been home for about 5 months.

meaning all my nicest things and 6 someod months of collecting evrrything are in her back.

bump!

Get a follower mod like Amazing Followers Tweak. It give you the ability to make followers essential.

You don't know the half of it.

Clicking on an NPC to target them in the console shows their refID but for setessential you need the baseID. For Brelyna it's 0001C196 (although you can skip leading 0s).

So,

setessential 1C196 1

NOT

setessential 1c1a4 1

Do the caps matter?

[cfs111]

Thanks gnewna!! I was on my phone and did not verify the id, I just copied the one listed in post #3.

@OP, no caps do not matter at all.

[gnewna]

Yeah, the first one has caps because I copied and pasted from uesp because sometimes I transpose characters, that's all :)
