So i decided to turn my existing PC into a follower for giggles and i have by now, followed 3 tutorials on how to make one. Thing is, when ingame, I can see my follower and i can talk to him. But when i click the "Follow me" option, he just continues with his life. I would really appreciate the help if anyone could spare any.

There is a mod for that. It's calledFamiliar Faces http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54509/?
