Follower bug. Not the usual one.

[Ohm & Protector.yt]

I have been playing skyrim on a new character and for some reason lydia, or mercs can't follow me. Nobody can?! There isnt even a dialougue for "follow me" just another time maybe.
Followers followed me on my other save by why not now?! PLz help!

I would think it's a mod issue. I am actually having the same type issue right now with a couple of the big follower & npc mods installed. The Follow Me dialogue is missing. Yep I got a few issues to work out too. But for the moment i have a follower that works so i am ignoring the problem. :p

Ill try messing with some mods and see if it helps thx.

Fixed it, i used the console command "set playerfollowercount to 0" and i could recruit again! had nothing to do with mods.

Okay, well, i had this mod installed here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/12933 (Follower Framework) then, since i found a better one here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14037 (UFO), i deactivated/deleted the first one with the Nexus Mod Manager. then, I downloaded and enabled the second one. the UFO mod told me to dismiss all followers, then save, then install the mod, then load, to get the mod working. So 'tis what i did. i dismissed Lydia, and as she was walking out the door (of a nordic ruin, the one you get the Horn of blahblah windcaller or whatever from in the greybeard's quest) i typed in the console: "show playerfollowercount" and it said playerfollowercount is 0.00, which means obviously that no one was following me at that time. i then saved, then installed the mod as it told me to. when i loaded, Lydia was still walking out the door, as expected, so i approached and attempted to ask her to follow me. The dialogue option "Follow me, i need your help" was not there. in fact, the dialogue options were showing as if she was already recruited, because all the "wait here" and the "i need you to do something" were there. i typed in the console "show playerfollowercount" again, and it still said zero. "well," i thought, "this is probably a minor glitch, i know how to fix it." so i told her to go back home, basicly dismissed her. and she said "i am heading back home if you need me." but i talked to her again, and it did the same thing. nothing changed. still the dialogue options as if she was already a follower. SO, i then let her walk out the door, and went in search for another follower. I recruited a different follower from an inn, and said "follow me i need your help." she then folowed me, then i told her "time to part ways" and dismissed her, and she said she was heading back home, but she continued to follow me. "WTF?" i thought. i suppose the scripts are not working at all correctly, as if everything was reversed. I loaded a save BEFORE this all happened, when i was on the road heading to the nordic ruin i was previously in, when lydia was sill following me. i talked to her, and told her to head back home, and same thing happened that occured with the other follower. she said she was heading home, but didn't. she continued to follow me. i disabled the UFO mod, so that no mods that were effecting followers were active, and it did NOTHING. all this still is happening. If there is anyone out there who can help me, PLEASE do, this is pissing me off, i cannot play the game with followers anymore. i am RAGING right now.
