Is obtaining multiple followers in Skyrim through console commands permanent?
I've recently begun modding my skyrim, and I've decided that I would like to try out having multiple followers. Unfortunately, the three multiple follower mods: AFT, UFO, and EFF, don't seem to operate through the SkyUI MCM menu, making customization really laborious and difficult.
This has led me to wonder if altering my follower count via the set playerfollowercount to <#> command is permanent, allowing me to simply have more followers. I'm assuming that if I set it to 4 or something, I will be able to have up to 4 followers at once. My question is if this command persists through saves and is permanent. Is it?
Best Answer
Yes, it persists through saves. You can however always return to the original value through console commands as well as dismiss followers.

PC players can use the console to allow more than one follower at a time. After obtaining a follower, the PlayerFollowerCount global varable is set to 1. Setting it back to 0 will enable you to obtain another follower.Can you have multiple followers at once Skyrim?
You can only have one follower at a time: if you want a different one, you need to dismiss the first one before you recruit them. There is one exception to this: there are situations when you already have a follower when a person needs to join you for something quest-related.How do you get 3 followers in Skyrim?

As others have said, as far as I know "set" commands persist. I think the issue with "playerfollowercount" is that it sets the number you have rather than setting how many you can have. I know that's how "animalfollowercount" works because a modder stated in their mod description that dismissing one of their animal followers would set that number back to 0 and would allow you to recruit another.
