Follower Reference and Base ID Codes

THIS MOD

If you're like me, you occasionally use console commands to get your followers to do something when they're misbehaving. That's not really too difficult. but if you need their Base ID for a command you first have to use the console to find it, and if you need their Reference ID they have to be right near you so you can click them. This mod makes that process slightly easier by giving the player a book (found in the Riverwood Trader) that contains the Reference and Base IDs of all the default followers from Skyrim, Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn (includes all these DLC but does not require any of them to work).

This isn't a big change, but it's really only meant to reduce the frustration of those rare occasions when an unknown ID code is keeping you from what you what to happen.

So far the book only contains codes for default followers, and I may have missed some, so feel free to let me know about any issues in the comments.

Note: Some codes begin with 'xx' instead of regular numbers. For anyone who doesn't know, that means they are associated with DLC and the 'xx' should be replaced with numbers corresponding to the order in which the DLC is loaded into the game. For example, the first file loaded in my Data Files menu is Dawnguard.esm, so all Dawnguard followers have codes beginning with '01'.

COMPATIBILITY

Should be absolutely no issues with vanilla Skyrim.
Should be absolutely no issues with DLC.
Should be absolutely no issues with other mods.

FUTURE PLANS

I will be making changes to this mod if issues/bugs are brought to my attention in the comments. I may also come back and try to include the codes in an entry of the help menu in addition to the book.
