what is the console to set the follower count?

[Kiana Vayne]

please tell me?

I'm not sure about the console code, but if you're looking to increase your follower limit I suggest using the Ultimate Follower Overhaul (UFO) mod. It's a great mod.

[Kiana Vayne]

no i want to reset my follower count to zero. i already have UFO.

[A-Mac]

put this command in the console

set playerfollowercount to 0

I was having trouble with UFO earlier, turns out my follower count was 23. typed in that command and was able to have many followers again.

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.

You didn't dismiss her with the in-game command, but instead you used the console command? DUDE! That does not dismiss your follower, it only fixes the bug where other followers are saying that you already have someone with you when you don't. don't use the console to dismiss followers, it doesn't work that way. use the dismiss dialogue command to dismiss them.

I don't even know the console command to dismiss, i didn't even know there was one, i never would have even known console existed except the totorials for learning the Creation Kit mentioned it. lol

Well the command justs resets the follower count back to 0.00 so you can use a different one, it doesn't increase the number the followers you can have. Trust me I've tried using console to get more followers without using mods, but when I tried it the "follow me, I need your help" dialogue wasn't there until I reset it back to 0.

[Kiana Vayne]

I hear you.

[Balboa Gonny]

cordelephant.....did you ever find a fix your game? i also downloaded a follower mod and i cant get my followers to part ways?

[Kiana Vayne]

Yeah, I fixed it. But I never had a problem with dismissing followers, it was telling them to follow me I had a problem with.

[Raines]

I used UFO and hadd problems with HOTH the follower. Not UFO's fault but it helped me find Amazing Follower Tweaks I suggest that mod.

[Kiana Vayne]

I have UFO, I've had UFO since I first got it to let me download stuff from Nexus.

[shadowraptors]

It says my follower is following me but he is not and I can tell him to move or leave,when I do it he says bye but when I talk to him a second later he is following be PLEASE HELP ME!
