Hi hall! New guy here, I'm having my first serious glitchy problem with skyrim since it's release (yeah, I'm a lucky guy).
So when I first bought windstad manor Lydia asked me to become my steward and it just felt natural to tell her yes. I saw her drive off brigands and I felt safe having her guarding my homestead. So I needed another follower and I said "well, I'll just enter the first inn and hire a sellsword". That's how I got Belrand, and it's been loads of fun with him. However coming back home I couldn't stand the view of Lydia, such a good soldier, reduced to mining clay and ordering piles of wood for me, so I just thought "well, let's switch places! Belrand could just retire to a life of stewardship and Lydia will come back to be a full-time housecarl." I used these console commands found on the web to let them switch places:
SetConsoleScopeQuest BYOHHouseBuildingEmptyRefAlias House2StewardSetPapyrusQuestVar BYOHHouseHjaalmarch bHaveSteward False
Belrand almost immediatly asked me if I wanted him as a steward and I was all "well of course old friend!". And then it happened: when I talk to him, he doesn't present the usual steward's dialog options, only the 0-gold-let's-go-adventure-together-again option.
tl;dr: Belrand won't present the steward's dialog options, just the "follow me again-free of charge" line.
Any known solutions to this bug?
