"Vlaschev the Sell-Sword" - Hireling/Follower TESTING NEEDED!!!!

[FastestDogInTheDistrict]

I have made a new Hireling/Follower - "Vlaschev the Sell-Sword". He is found drinking at "The Bannered Mare" in Whiterun.

 

Here's the thing...

 

When I already *have* a follower, he is available for hire. When I *dismiss* my current follower and attempt to hire Vlaschev, the only option available is "Another time, perhaps."

 

I've checked other Hirelings, & my mod doesn't seem to be missing anything. I can't work out what the problem is...

 

Here's how he looks in-game for me -

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, all looks well. He has a good series of NPC banter options as well, which sound great (no mystery here - I found he generated these automatically!)

 

He is wearing the "Lore Friendly Ancient Barbarian" armour, FOUND HERE.

 

I repackaged the male armours in that set (the good ones, anyway) as an .esm so I could mod NPC's using them, and made a special outfit so he would equip the Ancient Nord Barbarian (Heavy) set by default. I am conveniently packaging all the required resources for this to work in-game for a new user with the mod, in line with the permissions advertised by the armour-mod author.

 

Unfortunatley, I could not upload this full version here, as it is too big (...rrrr). Attached below is the basic NPC, without the armor - so for testing purposes he will appear naked in-game. I've uploaded A BETTER VERSION to the Nexus in an attempt to get greater feedback. You can download a better version there:

Please test him out, and/or open him up in the CK, & let me know if you spot the problem - many thanks in advance!!!!!

I'm gunna go ahead & *bump* this - it's getting kicked down the chain way too fast, & I'm still hoping for a little help if it's available...

I saw your mod on the Nexus. I tried it out but never got the option to follow. I tried using a bat file as well that contains all of the console commands to have him become a follower, but that dialogue option never appeared. I didn't play with it too much and deleted it. Sorry, that I can't be more help. I'm using a ton of mods and several that modify follower handling so my experience may not reflect a normal situation.

if i were u i would remove that armor mod as master file and better use one of default armors couse it forces players to DL that armor mod AND make esp file into esm to take a look at it in CK or u can take out that exact armor and add it to companion. my guesss is check if it has relationship added and all the nessessary factions(potential follower,current follower(setted to -1) potential hireling, current hireling( setted to -1) and optional: potential marriage
