Great tutorial! But one thing is that so many comments here are like-"I can't talk to my Follower" "He does not show up in location I set him/her in" "How can you make your marriageable" and so fourth Here are fixes to these issues (I added other things) 1-Certain voice types are not suitable for follower dialogues. Edit it in Voice type (This does not apply to animal followers). Also Relationship tab being empty is the cause as well. 2-Have you not activated your follower's esp file in launcher? Then do so. Or if this was done, re-load your save file. 3-Add PotentialMarriageFaction to list of factions of your follower. But be warned, certain voice types don't have marriage dialogue. 4-Junk comments-They are not needed here as they have nothing to do with tutorial. I hope these helped.
+Принцесса Люсина I can talk to my npc but there's no menu that pops up and I did everything listed. Added fractions, relationship and loaded it. I can't make them my follower or marry them. Also the race I chose was female nord and the voice is female nord as well.
Hey guys, the problem of why sometimes it won't work is because not all Voice Types have follower dialogue. You will need to create your own follower dialogue in order to get unique voice followers.
J. Alexander This is a list of Voice Types which have follower dialogue. If your follower does not use any of these voice types, he/she will not have any follower dialogue options available to you. All Voice Types which have follower dialogue: - FemaleCommander - FemaleCondescending - FemaleDarkElf - FemaleEvenToned - FemaleOrc - FemaleSultry - FemaleYoungEager - MaleArgonian - MaleBrute - MaleDarkElf - MaleDrunk - MaleEvenTonedAccented - MaleEvenToned - MaleNord - MaleOrc - MaleKhajiit - MaleYoungEager You can also go under Miscellaneous --> Formlist --> VoiceFollowerAll. And it will show you all voice types that have follower dialogue. Notes: - Bosmer, Beleval, uses the FemaleSultry Voice (Dawnguard only) - Bosmer, Faendal, uses the MaleEvenToned Voice - Dunmer, Aranea Ienith, uses the FemaleDarkElf Voice - Dunmer, Athis, uses the MaleDarkElf Voice - Dunmer, Brelyna Maryon, uses the FemaleYoungEager Voice - Dunmer, Erandur, uses the MaleDarkElf Voice - Dunmer, Janessa, uses the FemaleDarkElf Voice
I find it so much easier to put a 0 in front of my created stuff to find it and identify it easier. These tutorials are very helpful! :D Thank you so much!!
go to each of the tabs you previously edited for you character and make sure the 'unique' and any other boxes you checked, like 'essential' or 'protected' are filled for each tab. Click okay, then go back in and go back to the relationship tab to do your stuff. It should work then.
When you get to the save part of creating your character, the follower's file should go in your skyrim data folder. That folder is a game folder and will be found as part of your skyrim install.
hey! Fantastic tutorials! I've been going through them with you and they've been really helpful. On a side note - I've been voicing my own follower and I've been trying to work out how to get them to remark on an enemy they've just killed. Any ideas? I've been messing with target conditions and functions but can't quite get there. Don't think I've ever seen it done but I have a feeling it's possible. Any ideas? :o) Keep up the great work. G
Thank you so much! You're the only one so far who has said to make sure the skyrim.esm is active... I didn't even know that was a thing since I'm completely new to creating custom mods. Most people probably think it's a given but I was stumped for a while until I came across this video.
You have to make a voice type, then add it in followers stats... after that, You have to pretty much go to Quest, that's where you write your dialogue ( dialogue views)... Create a new branch, topic, write down lines You want, SET CONDITION '' getisid'' SELECT YOUR follower, and then You can just record it right in CK by clicking on the dialogue that a follower is going to talk about, there is a button to '' record'' and that's pretty much it.. Save it, create a lip file and you are good to go. MAKE SURE TO CREATE SEQ file in TESSEDIT or dialogue wont show up.
Thanks! I watched a lot of other tutiorals but I could never figure out why my follower wasn't working. Then I watched this video with the relationship segments. You're the best, litterlay!
Just some additional tips (if on special edition): 1) If having trouble importing a character that you have made yourself on SSE, try making the characters face on the old version of Skyrim, then type the command: spf - the name you named them after designing their face 2) When trying to right click for a new "relationship", when nothing happens, just click "ok" on the character window (where you are customising the follower) then go back into the object window and find your follower in the list, once the character window has been reopened, you should be able to add a new relationship. 3) At the end, hit save (under 'file' and type in the file explorer whatever name your want your follower file to be called, like "MyCustomFollower", then hit save. If using a mod manager like NMM, go into the plugins tab and make sure to tick the box on the follower ESP file you just saved. 4) To make the follower an up-loadable file for mod sights, right click the esp in the skyrim directory and add it to an archive with WinRAR or 7z.
In order to make your follower level along with you go to the stats Tab when your editing a follower and check the box that says PC level multi, once thats done you can set a minimum and maxmum level in the cal min and cal max sections for your follower. :)
-==TO EVERYONE WHOSE FOLLOWER DID NOT RESPOND, Do what he does, but then go and RE-EDIT the character, then click the Relationships tab - 4th one, then right click, new, and fill it in again :D
@@thedaymarezcatz4313 That's because deleting the relationship on the follower's edit menu won't delete the relationship object. You have to go and delete that if you want to recreate it that way
To anyone having their follower seemingly not appear, if you place them in your previously created dungeon: It's because they fall through the ground, as we haven't created a navmesh yet (the thing that serves as a "ground" for AIs which is built from the ground's collision boxes). So if that's what you were trying to do, place them somewhere else for testing, such as just outside your dungeon, and wait for the navmesh tutorial before placing any actor in your dungeon
Okay, somebody please help here this is driving me crazy. I'm trying to make a follower, (obviously) and when I choose the relationship, I create the ID (NewFollowerRelationship) then I go to parent NPC and it doesn't exist, none of the created relationships I have, show up. Any ideas? I have no clue what is wrong here, but I'm losing my mind.
If I'm reading this correctly(I hope you have figured this out 5 years later) the parent NPC is your follower, not your relationship so that's why the NewFollowerRelationship isn't showing up. You are assigning the relationship to your follower via the Parent NPC so you need to find your follower, not the relationship.
Just finished my 1st follower using this tutorial and em now working on my 2nd one, this had to be the easiest and most well put together *How To* tutorial for making new followers lol, Great Job keep em coming :D.
I'm about to try this. I've already made my character an NPC using your first video and am currently going to follow this video to make him a follower. Thanks a bunch!
Oh yeah. Figured that out yesterday too. If you play around with the voices you have to re-choose the race and do the appearance again to make it working. Thanks for your respond.
You'll need to redo the navmeshing inside. Navmesh is what lets the npcs roam around in an area. Foradventure did a tutorial on it in the dungeon section.
TO EVERYONE WHO CANNOT FIND THEIR FOLLOWER'S DIALOGUE BOX: Your character voice selection does not have pre recorded follower sayings. Google a list of voices that support follower mode, and set it to one of these (Traits tab). You may be an female Orc with a nordic voice. But that's the only way to make it work.
@Agamashi Ofc you can... Magic/Shout/New and you select your 3 words. It works, it just has a sound issue, there is no listening to the words "player" says but you can hear the sound of the shout. I think it might be like the whispering lady, which is actually a dresser talking...
I have some questions: 1) What if I wanted to give my custom follower an armor from a mod that wouldn't require the mod itself? 2) If I would like my follower to be custom voice acted, how would I do that? Also, how does the whole voice acting thing work? how can I get voices from others (as in, how does someone send me their voice)? and how can I make him a follow after you o a certain quest? I recently got Skyrim for PC and I would like to make my skyrim character as an additional follower for everyone else to enjoy. (He's an Argonian, and I would like to do this since there aren't many good and non-generic argonian followers) also would anyone be interested In possibly helping make/voice act him? I have never done anything close to making my own mod for any game ever, and i'm 16.
well i cant answer the first one, but the second i can. You need to record your own voice for your follower if you want custom dialogue. You need to record it, create a new voice, make dialogue, and link it up. I did it once by following a youtube video. I forgot it though. Also Im currently trying to figure out how to make a quest.
Depending on the voice you chose for your follower they may or may not have the dialog, try using Male eventone or female eventone and try that out see if it resolves your issue then it will just be finding one you prefer for your character.
yes, ingame you use the command "SPF charactername" it creaters the data charactername.npc in your data folder in the kit, when you create an actor you can import it, its under facegen, top right corner
So I tried to do this twice. The first time, the NPC was where I put her, but I couldn't make her a follower, and the second time she wasn't there at all. In both cases, however, I couldn't find either character file when I reopened the Creation Kit after finishing my work.
In the past I did this no problem. Now when I do it...when I go to my character to talk to them they just say "can I help you with something" and no dialogue box opens up.
see the same follower problem i had which is solved by going into relationship, right click grid and select new, set child npc to player, and set relationship level to ally. and that should fix any problems making the follower dialogue pop up when you chat with them.
2:38 One of the many disadvantages of my computer. Since I have a windows 8 computer, my F2 button serves as turning my brightness down and won't work. Alternate keys, anyone?
+DarkShadow DaUmbreon This is your keyboard not windows 8. (I know this is a 4month old comment) But recently I learnt that by accessing the boot config you can permanently make the f buttons default,
@Islandgamers highlight the stat, skill etc..then hit F2. Yes u can edit anything, anyone. The mod for example would then change Lydia's in game when loaded up.
I do everything he tells us to do but when I go into the game I can't speak to the follower I created. Might this have something to do with the fact that I made an animal?
i think that it has to be minus 1 on current is because the current is a variable that comes after the potetial one so it needs to be of a lower value. if this is true then you would in theory be able to value the potential at 1 instead and it would work in the same way
I've done all this and it was great. Now all I'm dying to know now is how to import mod-heavy characters exactly as they look like using the CK. Really need help with this.
So I kinda have this problem.. I follow all the steps exactly but when I make my follower, he just does the typical "hmm?" or "need something?" dialogue and it does not bring up any conversation options. I've remade him about a dozen times but it's the same result every time. Does the voice I gave him (condescending male) have anything to do with it or is it something else? I made a different follower earlier that worked perfectly.
Great tutorial - however, I did all of the above, and while my npc's 'there', he doesn't want to offer me any dialogue options. He talks as if he's a random NPC, like guards and most soldiers. Help? :D
Hey BestIn Slot, Rusheeda 4.0 is Posted in the nexus Thank you so much for your Tutorial's on create a follower. Rusheeda is a Wolf Follower Tribute To my Real Life Wolf, I made the in game Rusheeda AI as Close to the Real Life Rusheeda as Creation kit allows, I'm very proud of the outcome of her she is my first mod to create and I did get help along the way from some other very knowledgeable modders but she is like no other animal follower that the nexus has seen, as I have spoken to so many that have her now she looks like anyother on the surface but under the hood she is a well tuned racing engine extended beyond the normal dog and Wolf and any other animal follower So for yourself and others I invite you to download her, and for those that want to see under the hood I left everything in her so you can learn as I did in the past 3 months how to put her together to the point she is now, there is a german translated version ESP as well, I'm working on try to get it to translate auto but that more learning LOL, hopefully soon though!! Thank you again for your wonderful tutorials which with out these to learn from I could never have been able to make Rusheeda what she is today.
There are certain outfits with e.g dwarvern armour no helm. This will give him the armour but no helmet! Also you could even just make your own outfit as it is very simple :P Hope this helps!
Thanks for some good easy to understand video's. Going to give it a shot, just would like to know will creating a follower cause any problems if I'm already playing the game? I assume it won't but figure best to ask before I screw up a game.
Just out of curiosity how do you edit a current in game npc to evoke a follower for example I want to make muiri a follower and possibly edit her class and Equipment/spells to make her kick ass how would I go about that
I noticed you used the creation kit for the PC of the game. But I also noticed in the menu you used Xbox 360 buttons such as X and RT/LT. Were you able to transfer the mod to the 360 or did you just have a controller hooked to the computer? By the way thanks for the tutorial. It was pretty helpful. Unfortunatly I was unable to make a female khajiit follower unless I changed her voice to a dark elf voice.
way too fast..lost me at placing new follower in the location selected..i placed the new follower in the sleeping giant..you said go to interiors and type TRAG...WHERE DO I TYPE THIS COMMAND???...please help me to continue the follower creation..my creation kit page is much newer and is not identical to your creation kit layout..thanks
Did everything according to the video, but for some odd reason my follower refuses to attack with swords. They use bows fine and will use a heal spell when low on health, but when they get in melee range they pull out their sword and just block, never once will they swing. (edit) Fixed the issues, for some reason it switched using the attack data of foxes, which of course have no attacks. Once I switched to NordRace it works flawlessly.
This video is great, thanks. I did everything exactly as you said and it worked just fine. It would be nice however if there was a bit more of an explanation about the various factors, like does the character auto-level with you, if I check the "affect stealth meter" what effect does it have, how do I tweak the stats if I want a specialised character? How can I add perks (light foot e.g.) That would be very cool.
@xXtheRomanVv It can be done, but it makes using the Creation Kit look like a childs doodling in MS Paint, it requires another program to create the model, then you create the texture, then you add it into Skyrim (Which is the easy bit)
If follower name does not appear in relationship tab, be sure you tick the UNIQUE box and then press OK. If you switch tab, the CK will untick the UNIQUE box and the follower name will not appear.
thing is I dont understand what buttons youre pressing to move the interior and the video is hard for me to understand,I managed to do this half way but ended up not being able to do the follower.
I have the same problem - the chat box doesn't appear... hm. I also added this script "defaultallowpcdialoguescript", but nothing happened... Could it be because of the Skyrim update?
I followed directions pretty much exactly, but when I talk to my follower, she only says "hmm?" and nothing happens...any ideas? I should add that I am on skyrim SE, and I had go to the "load order" section of the mods menu and enable my follower.
Im having an issue with the creation kit at the moment, everything saves in place and no errors in the follower creation but, when i go to the location i placed him, he isn't there and idk what to do next to make him appear on skyrim. Someone else having this problem?
i solved that problem months ago, the problem was that he kept falling trough the ground, so i just set him to spawn a little higher so he dosen't clip. sorry for my bad english, i hope that fixes your problem
Awesome...I will be soon trying this out however Id like to ask one thing....how do you make the follower voice acted...I plan making an unique follower and the voice acting would make it much better :)
What did I do wrong? When I tried I find my follower but He just said: Hmm? Need something? Make it quick. I didn't have any dialogue options, what did I miss?
Hi, great tutorial. But I was wondering if there is any way of creating a follower using Miscellaneous Meshes for the actual actors race? As I really want to create a floating, talking Space Core follower that can use beam attacks and melee head bud :) Thank you
My follower created with these steps will only say generic nord female dialouge, but will not bring up a conversation window. would appreciate any help. I created a High elf female follower, essential and unique. using the FemaleNord voice. factions potentialfollower set to 0, thalmorfaction set to 0, and curentfollowerfaction set to -1. helps friends and allies, brave, and any crime. custom spells and stats. and I followed the steps to make the parent relationship my follower and the child relation to player. and set to allies.
I followed the video to the letter, but my characters face is darker then the rest of her body. I played with 'face complexion' and tried to change it to be lighter, it didn't work. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!!!
@xXtheRomanVv It is possible but you can't actually do it in the Creation Kit. All the modelling and art Bethesda did as far as I'm aware was outside of Creation Kit. Try looking up 3D modelling on TH-cam and then try to figure out how to add weapons into the game.

Great tutorial! But one thing is that so many comments here are like-"I can't talk to my Follower" "He does not show up in location I set him/her in" "How can you make your marriageable" and so fourth
Here are fixes to these issues (I added other things)
1-Certain voice types are not suitable for follower dialogues. Edit it in Voice type (This does not apply to animal followers). Also Relationship tab being empty is the cause as well.
2-Have you not activated your follower's esp file in launcher? Then do so. Or if this was done, re-load your save file.
3-Add PotentialMarriageFaction to list of factions of your follower. But be warned, certain voice types don't have marriage dialogue.
4-Junk comments-They are not needed here as they have nothing to do with tutorial.
I hope these helped.
THANK YOU
+Принцесса Люсина When I try to make a goat follower, He doesn't show up when I try to create a relationship. Any ideas?
Captain Yods Have you ticked Unique box?
+Принцесса Люсина I can talk to my npc but there's no menu that pops up and I did everything listed. Added fractions, relationship and loaded it. I can't make them my follower or marry them. Also the race I chose was female nord and the voice is female nord as well.
NiHs There is Relationship tab in Object window. Add relationship between your follower and Player.
Hey guys, the problem of why sometimes it won't work is because not all Voice Types have follower dialogue. You will need to create your own follower dialogue in order to get unique voice followers.
You're a lifesaver. Thank you!
but wich do work?
The only ones I've experimented with is the Nord default and even toned ones for Male and Female.
J. Alexander This is a list of Voice Types which have follower dialogue. If your follower does not use any of these voice types, he/she will not have any follower dialogue options available to you.
All Voice Types which have follower dialogue:

- FemaleDarkElf
- FemaleEvenToned
- FemaleOrc
- FemaleSultry
- FemaleYoungEager
- MaleArgonian
- MaleBrute
- MaleDarkElf
- MaleDrunk
- MaleEvenTonedAccented
- MaleEvenToned
- MaleNord
- MaleOrc
- MaleKhajiit
- MaleYoungEager
You can also go under Miscellaneous --> Formlist --> VoiceFollowerAll. And it will show you all voice types that have follower dialogue.
Notes:
- Bosmer, Beleval, uses the FemaleSultry Voice (Dawnguard only)
- Bosmer, Faendal, uses the MaleEvenToned Voice
- Dunmer, Aranea Ienith, uses the FemaleDarkElf Voice
- Dunmer, Athis, uses the MaleDarkElf Voice
- Dunmer, Brelyna Maryon, uses the FemaleYoungEager Voice
- Dunmer, Erandur, uses the MaleDarkElf Voice
- Dunmer, Janessa, uses the FemaleDarkElf Voice

Something I've learned from creation kit is you have to be really, really patient
I find it so much easier to put a 0 in front of my created stuff to find it and identify it easier.

I have never done anything close to making my own mod for any game ever, and i'm 16.
well i cant answer the first one, but the second i can. You need to record your own voice for your follower if you want custom dialogue. You need to record it, create a new voice, make dialogue, and link it up. I did it once by following a youtube video. I forgot it though. Also Im currently trying to figure out how to make a quest.
***** To answer number 1 I'm pretty sure that's impossible
id like to help with the making of the follower. I made about 30 different followers that I use and made
Chase Vulcan
can you show me and of these followers?
Dylan McGlamry It's possible cause other mods have Custom Armor.
Depending on the voice you chose for your follower they may or may not have the dialog, try using Male eventone or female eventone and try that out see if it resolves your issue then it will just be finding one you prefer for your character.
it doesnt work,i dont have skyrim.
+ted bundy funny
That's not your only problem.
Thanks again, your tutorials help me with Fallout 4 a lot!
He is very good. Straight to the point, and much clarity. :)
the follower is there but i cant have a conversation with him and recruit him.
set disposition to 75
When i try use that anything was changed. Still cannot talk with him.
is near the voice type of the char
Thanks, your a lifesaver, now I need to fix his damn audio
I followed this tutorial yet whenever I go to talk to my new follower, she just acts like a 'regular' non-follower NPC with no 'Follow Me' option.
00:34 Describes me
yes, ingame you use the command "SPF charactername"
it creaters the data charactername.npc in your data folder
in the kit, when you create an actor you can import it, its under facegen, top right corner
So I tried to do this twice. The first time, the NPC was where I put her, but I couldn't make her a follower, and the second time she wasn't there at all. In both cases, however, I couldn't find either character file when I reopened the Creation Kit after finishing my work.
I spent three days figuring out how to make a follower. You make it look so easy. :
Thanks. I would not be able to mod without your vids. Keep them comming!
In the past I did this no problem. Now when I do it...when I go to my character to talk to them they just say "can I help you with something" and no dialogue box opens up.
see the same follower problem i had which is solved by going into relationship, right click grid and select new, set child npc to player, and set relationship level to ally. and that should fix any problems making the follower dialogue pop up when you chat with them.
This is AWESOME. Totally going to make some custom followers now!
Might interest you to know that 9 years after posting, folks still use your tutorials...
2:38 One of the many disadvantages of my computer. Since I have a windows 8 computer, my F2 button serves as turning my brightness down and won't work. Alternate keys, anyone?
+DarkShadow DaUmbreon try alt+f2
+james shirley You are my savior.
+DarkShadow DaUmbreon click on the fraction or the thing your trying to and press f2 if your not pressing f2 while its selected then it wont work
+DarkShadow DaUmbreon This is your keyboard not windows 8. (I know this is a 4month old comment) But recently I learnt that by accessing the boot config you can permanently make the f buttons default,
ENTERUSERNAMEHERE555 Thanks, I'll have to try that out.
Alright so I saved it and did everything I was supposed to except the relationship thing. I can't interact with him. how do I edit relationship
My NPCs name doesn't come up in the parent NPC part
Cheers fella...worked a treat, my first mod is a kick ass ranged girly sidekick. Subbed.
@Islandgamers highlight the stat, skill etc..then hit F2. Yes u can edit anything, anyone. The mod for example would then change Lydia's in game when loaded up.
And where can you see which voices covering the follower texts? Do you choose that in the "Traits"-tab? I couldn't find one yet that worked.
I do everything he tells us to do but when I go into the game I can't speak to the follower I created. Might this have something to do with the fact that I made an animal?
Dude i have been watching your tutorials and i must say you can teach haha. honestly thanks for these tutorials they have helped a shit load bud :D
i think that it has to be minus 1 on current is because the current is a variable that comes after the potetial one so it needs to be of a lower value. if this is true then you would in theory be able to value the potential at 1 instead and it would work in the same way
Thanks for all the Tutorials with out them i would never learn how to use it thanks a lot!
"Player" in Child NPC box is not appearing at all. There's PlayerInventory, but that's it.
Though it does appear on other NPCs
lordoftime001 same with me.
i tried to put the npc into the game without it and it worked just fine.
lol
***** you need to save the character FIRST then do it :) this happend to me
Please make a tutorial for adding water, like how to make a nice little pond. Would be awesome!
Love your tut´s.
When i press E the diologue doesnt apear i am using the argonion female voice
I've done all this and it was great. Now all I'm dying to know now is how to import mod-heavy characters exactly as they look like using the CK. Really need help with this.
there's no options to choose from, muchless for him to follow you :-< what do I do?
So I kinda have this problem.. I follow all the steps exactly but when I make my follower, he just does the typical "hmm?" or "need something?" dialogue and it does not bring up any conversation options. I've remade him about a dozen times but it's the same result every time. Does the voice I gave him (condescending male) have anything to do with it or is it something else? I made a different follower earlier that worked perfectly.
Try to use an actual vanilla follower, make a duplicate, then edit the way you want. This should work, plus it comes with voice acting.
Thanks!
I have the same problem please help
***** It's the voice file, some voices don't have follower dialogue.
Great tutorial - however, I did all of the above, and while my npc's 'there', he doesn't want to offer me any dialogue options. He talks as if he's a random NPC, like guards and most soldiers. Help? :D
im having the same problem! He just sits and dont say nothing after i click on him
Hey BestIn Slot, Rusheeda 4.0 is Posted in the nexus Thank you so much for your Tutorial's on create a follower. Rusheeda is a Wolf Follower Tribute To my Real Life Wolf, I made the in game Rusheeda AI as Close to the Real Life Rusheeda as Creation kit allows, I'm very proud of the outcome of her she is my first mod to create and I did get help along the way from some other very knowledgeable modders but she is like no other animal follower that the nexus has seen, as I have spoken to so many that have her now she looks like anyother on the surface but under the hood she is a well tuned racing engine extended beyond the normal dog and Wolf and any other animal follower So for yourself and others I invite you to download her, and for those that want to see under the hood I left everything in her so you can learn as I did in the past 3 months how to put her together to the point she is now, there is a german translated version ESP as well, I'm working on try to get it to translate auto but that more learning LOL, hopefully soon though!! Thank you again for your wonderful tutorials which with out these to learn from I could never have been able to make Rusheeda what she is today.
There are certain outfits with e.g dwarvern armour no helm. This will give him the armour but no helmet! Also you could even just make your own outfit as it is very simple :P Hope this helps!
Thanks for some good easy to understand video's. Going to give it a shot, just would like to know will creating a follower cause any problems if I'm already playing the game? I assume it won't but figure best to ask before I screw up a game.
Oh, excuuuse me. I'm so sorry I wasn't born KNOWING how to use Creation Kit like you my good sir. I guess we can't all be that fortunate. -.-
Just out of curiosity how do you edit a current in game npc to evoke a follower for example I want to make muiri a follower and possibly edit her class and Equipment/spells to make her kick ass how would I go about that
I noticed you used the creation kit for the PC of the game. But I also noticed in the menu you used Xbox 360 buttons such as X and RT/LT. Were you able to transfer the mod to the 360 or did you just have a controller hooked to the computer?
By the way thanks for the tutorial. It was pretty helpful. Unfortunatly I was unable to make a female khajiit follower unless I changed her voice to a dark elf voice.
way too fast..lost me at placing new follower in the location selected..i placed the new follower in the sleeping giant..you said go to interiors and type TRAG...WHERE DO I TYPE THIS COMMAND???...please help me to continue the follower creation..my creation kit page is much newer and is not identical to your creation kit layout..thanks
If I try to select warpaint from the Face Tint Layers, nothing happens. I can't choose any warpaint, scars, face type etc. Why is this?
Did everything according to the video, but for some odd reason my follower refuses to attack with swords. They use bows fine and will use a heal spell when low on health, but when they get in melee range they pull out their sword and just block, never once will they swing.
(edit) Fixed the issues, for some reason it switched using the attack data of foxes, which of course have no attacks. Once I switched to NordRace it works flawlessly.
This video is great, thanks. I did everything exactly as you said and it worked just fine. It would be nice however if there was a bit more of an explanation about the various factors, like does the character auto-level with you, if I check the "affect stealth meter" what effect does it have, how do I tweak the stats if I want a specialised character? How can I add perks (light foot e.g.) That would be very cool.
Hello there. I made a Sabrecat Follower and everything worked fine, but there isn't a dialogue to ask them to follow me. Why is that?
@xXtheRomanVv It can be done, but it makes using the Creation Kit look like a childs doodling in MS Paint, it requires another program to create the model, then you create the texture, then you add it into Skyrim (Which is the easy bit)
If follower name does not appear in relationship tab, be sure you tick the UNIQUE box and then press OK.
If you switch tab, the CK will untick the UNIQUE box and the follower name will not appear.
thing is I dont understand what buttons youre pressing to move the interior and the video is hard for me to understand,I managed to do this half way but ended up not being able to do the follower.
When I try to put the Active Skyrim Master file, the program gives errors... endless errors.
I have the same problem - the chat box doesn't appear... hm. I also added this script "defaultallowpcdialoguescript", but nothing happened... Could it be because of the Skyrim update?
I followed directions pretty much exactly, but when I talk to my follower, she only says "hmm?" and nothing happens...any ideas?
I should add that I am on skyrim SE, and I had go to the "load order" section of the mods menu and enable my follower.
I'm having the same issue
Im having an issue with the creation kit at the moment, everything saves in place and no errors in the follower creation but, when i go to the location i placed him, he isn't there and idk what to do next to make him appear on skyrim. Someone else having this problem?
I'm having the same problem :/
Swagopher Yolombus me too
i solved that problem months ago, the problem was that he kept falling trough the ground, so i just set him to spawn a little higher so he dosen't clip. sorry for my bad english, i hope that fixes your problem
Swagopher Yolombus that isn't my problem, I have a completely diffrent issue with mine.
Awesome...I will be soon trying this out however Id like to ask one thing....how do you make the follower voice acted...I plan making an unique follower and the voice acting would make it much better :)
and another thing would be how your remove the follower? I will just work on a few tests which Id like to remove later xD
I have Windows 8 and setting the Rank to -1 using F2 doesn't work as it decreases the sound volume. What should I do?
What did I do wrong? When I tried I find my follower but He just said: Hmm? Need something? Make it quick. I didn't have any dialogue options, what did I miss?
Hi, great tutorial. But I was wondering if there is any way of creating a follower using Miscellaneous Meshes for the actual actors race? As I really want to create a floating, talking Space Core follower that can use beam attacks and melee head bud :) Thank you
wow, this made it way easier than i thought
My follower created with these steps will only say generic nord female dialouge, but will not bring up a conversation window. would appreciate any help. I created a High elf female follower, essential and unique. using the FemaleNord voice. factions potentialfollower set to 0, thalmorfaction set to 0, and curentfollowerfaction set to -1. helps friends and allies, brave, and any crime. custom spells and stats. and I followed the steps to make the parent relationship my follower and the child relation to player. and set to allies.
i tried to make a follower using this. placed her in dragonsreach, but when i go there, shes not there... any ideas why?
+ShoneskaPlays Have you enabled her esp file in launcher? If you did, reload the save file.
I followed the video to the letter, but my characters face is darker then the rest of her body. I played with 'face complexion' and tried to change it to be lighter, it didn't work. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!!!
@xXtheRomanVv It is possible but you can't actually do it in the Creation Kit. All the modelling and art Bethesda did as far as I'm aware was outside of Creation Kit. Try looking up 3D modelling on TH-cam and then try to figure out how to add weapons into the game.
1:41 no races are shown for me, just a white tab drops down with nothing to pick
I got the same thing
i know what to do - watch his first episode
Your tutorials have been very helpful! Thank you!
It seems for me every I follow everything correctly. I even make sure that the data files are selected in the launcher. And they still do not appear.
