Ok, I am gonna try to do this with no spoilers whatsoever. My follower is Illia, she has been for a very long time. I bought Hearthfire today and was building my home up, Illia asked if she could be steward. Now I declined this because i do not want to lose her for a battle companion. I have done several saves and reloads attempting to figure this out, So here is my question. How do I keep Illia as a follower AND have a steward, because lets face it, I do NOT wanna have to build and furnish all the rooms. I did 4 manually and it literally took me all day.

PS: Illia is bugged and if you dismiss her you lose her forever

Thanks!
