As there is no Creation Kit yet (early 2016), I have decided to make my first mod in the form a bat script file.
I present to you the “Recruit any NPC as Follower” mod.
This mod will allow you to set NPCs as companions/followers in which you can command them to get things for you, follow you, trade with you, be your pack mule or whatever…makes your settlers sometimes more useful.
Installation:
Place the text file into your Fallout 4 game directory.
In-Game:
Open up your console command, (~), and click on any NPC and type “bat followme”. This should do a few commands and there you go, you can talk to the NPC again and it should add a dialogue menu like followers have.
It’s a bit buggy since most NPCs aren’t allowed to become followers or supposed to do this, so bare with the mod, you can at least have a mini army.
To make them follow you, keep spamming the command go to, you can also just fast travel and they will teleport to you.
