crash when adding custom follower

[sauhan77]

Hi,

before the first patch I could add several custom followers by the "player.placeatme" console command...
now with every follower mod I tried the game crashes when hitting enter after the placeatme command in the console.
Is there a fix for that? or is it maybe intended?

You should not use that command at all on unique npc:s since you create one copy of them and the orginal npc is still in Oldrim world, that more or less dont exists in this game.

Try to find one follower that is made for this game instead.
Or make one for your self it is not that hard at all.

And use player.moveto instead.

this is a good advice but doesn't work when I don't have the refID of those NPCs, right?

You need that.

I think you are better off to install CK and create one follower for your self instead.

yeah but i never worked with the CK, so I'm afraid that is not an option :)

I was just wondering, because there were no problems with the old non-steam version and the frist release on steam as well. I could add them without problems then, don't know what has changed now.

It have one new esm that changes some stuff. You cant compare the old Enderal whit this. Stuff that did work in the old may not work in this.

There is many guides how to make your own follower. It is more easy than you can think.
