i was playing as usual and suddenly noticed that my hired follower ( janessa ) is not there anymore ....so i found her reference code 000E1BA9 and used the console command player.moveto 000E1BA9

it teleported me right on the spot where the time wound is .. and the very top of the mountain. She is nowhere to be found. I remembered that reading the elder scroll was one of my last quest i did ... where did she go ?? stuck in the past ??? lol

any ideas of what i can do to fix this ??

I'm guessing by now you've tried Waiting and Fast Traveling. It won't help now, but it might in the future: I always make sure the follower is present before I zone or fast travel - if the follower isn't right next to me when I'm ready I wait 1 hour and he/she appears right next to me.

Reload to a save prior to losing her.

"E1BA9.MoveTo Player" (or "prid E1BA9" then "MoveTo Player") should bring her to you, unless she's dead. If she is, you can use the "resurrect" command, but I wouldn't recommend it, as it screws up a number of little checks that the game uses to tell if an NPC is dead.

Well.. I wish I could help but I cannot. She isn't essential. Essential followers will ALWAYS teleport to you when you fast travel.

If she isn't then you gotta use some sort of MoveToPlayer command to get her back

tried your commands and it did nothing ..... and i guess she is still alive somewhere because when i try to hire another follower to follow me .. i get the message that there is already someone with me ....

You probably left her in the Time Wound.

yes , this is what i suspected. A follower is supposed to go there ?? now i don't really care about her ... all i want is to '' unlink '' the follower from me so i can hire another one , because right now i can't ..


i do have a previous save game but not tempting at all .. hehe .. i will waste at least 2 hours of gametime ...

UESP says

There is a bug where if you take a follower to the fight with you before you read the elder scroll, when you come back to the present your follower can get "stuck" in the past.

• This can be fixed on the PC by typing into the console prid E1BA9 and then enable. I used it at the Throat of the World just to be safe, although it may work anywhere.

o yeahh .. thank you it worked. I typed prid E1BA9 and then enable ... closed the console and waited 1 hour ..... pooof she's back from the past !!

i can resume my game .. thank you again

Damn, I lucked out - Mjoll made it out no problem.

youre welcome
