I'm working with another modder, whom has asked for my help with his follower mod. I did a bunch of stuff to set up a quest for this follower and once the quest is completed, the actor is supposed to be able to become the player's follower.

The problem is that I cannot get this actor to respond to the line "Follow me. I need your help". At first I copied another response from a vanilla actor and edited it to be for my actor. That didn't work so I pounded my head troubleshooting different preconditions, and nothing worked there. Eventually I deleted all of the conditions for the line, and she STILL doesn't have that dialogue option. She WILL say dialogue lines from the quest, but she does not have the "Follow me" option. I also checked and it seems that I can recruit just about (everyone I tried) any NPC in the game (since I deleted all the conditions for the dialogue option), but my actor, still does not have the option "Follow me".

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Or, alternatively, avoid it while still having her use the vanilla system for being a follower?
