No follower option or dialog

[Harlan]

Hi everyone,

I've found that making a follower npc mod was one of the easiest things, so I decided to start a little bit of my own modding with just that. I built a complete character, added him to two factions CurrentFollow and PossibleFollow, then created his relationship as my parent npc, that gave me the dialog and everything I needed preset with that and it worked. Two player follower mods I downloaded after that both use the same edits, just focusing on the factions and relationship, there was nothing else added to the npc and they were working at first, but now sadly they ain't. I'm getting no greeting from him (the downloaded mod, my build I deleted) he just says, "Hmm?" I distinctly remember trying to edit his features, deleting some excess AI packages prior to this.. I thought it was caused by loading an autosave that may have been corrupted or due to being at a certain quest, since my console cmd help follower 3 read that I have one follower, I set to 0 and he still wouldn't speak, however the esp of the 2nd follower who I didn't edit would follow. 

So what I have deduced it to is that something I might be doing to my follower in the CK may be the cause, maybe the CK itself. These mods had very well made faces that have been exported and edited in the CK and looked good so I tried to use them as a palette and I dunno what went wrong. Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated

Try saving, then immediately loading that save and talking to your NPC again. Same result?

The problem persists, even on a clean save at lvl 1 with a 0 value in PlayerFollow

Did you mean disable the mod? Sorry and yes, just now saved, unchecked my follower in data files, loaded, saved, loaded again.. with my follow mod active this time and had the same result. Even set follow count to 0, not him nor the FF Breton female companion would follow, but at least she gave me a no, the NPC in my build doesn't say anything. I don't want to continue playing a corrupted save and I can't tell if this is due to a quest.
