(Tip: If you're ever having difficulty locating an NPC or any other object in the Creation Kit, check out my How to Make a Skyrim Character Look Like Any Character in the Game tutorial. If your follower's name is not being used by any other character in the game, you can make the ID the same as the Name, which is the way most of the vanilla NPCs are set up. M'aiq the Liar, for example, has MaiqTheLiar for an editor id no spaces, no apostrophe, and the first letter of 'the' capitalized to distinguish it from 'Maiq'. For characters, the editor id and name are often the same, with the exception that editor ids can only use letters and numbers and cannot have spaces, punctuation, or unusual characters in them. Editor ids are the way that the Creation Kit identifies objects.

The first thing you need to do is give your follower a unique editor id. If you click 'No', you will be prompted to confirm that you want to quit the Creation Kit, but I don't recommend it unless you feel like loading everything again.

You can cycle through all of the warnings by clicking 'Yes' or just click 'Yes to All' to jump past them. If you click 'Yes', it will clear the current warning and then another warning will appear. The Skyrim master file contains several benign errors that you will see every time you load a plugin these warnings are harmless so just skip past them by clicking 'Yes to All'. When the editor is done loading the game files, you will probably see a pop-up warning you about a navmesh error.

(You can find out more about creating and using simple mods in the Creation Kit starter tutorial linked to earlier.) Depending on your machine it may take anywhere from half a minute to a couple of minutes for the editor to load everything. Open the Creation Kit and load the game files in the Data browser: go to File, Data., and double-click the Skyrim.esm and Update.esm so that a little x appears in each of the boxes. Optional: Edit the DialogueFollower quest to remove the default bow and arrows from all followers.In the Character Gen Parts tab, click 'Import' and import YourCharactersName.npc.The LightFoot perk is useful to avoid springing traps when sneaking. Safe spells are spells that have a hand assigned. They do not cast Illusion spells or spells that heal others without scripting. Give them weapons and whatever else you think they should have. Pick a Default Outfit (armor or clothing) or optionally add the armor to their inventory.

As for other race conversions, you'll just have to go by trial and error. I'm not sure why that is, but it worked for me. If you change an imperial to a khajiit, for example, they will have fur and a tail, but their heads will stay human, except with a disembodied set of khajiit teeth floating in front of them.Д®DIT: Actually, you can change an imperial to a khajiit correctly by doing this: Change the NPC to an Argonian first, and then change them to a khajiit. A few examples would be 'setrace argonian' or 'setrace woodelf'. The correct answer to your question is to go into the command console in-game with the tilde (~) key, click on the character you want to change with the mouse pointer (might take a few tries to select the character, the console pointer can be kind of finicky) and enter 'Setrace '. The stupidity of the people on this site never ceases to amaze me.
