If there is a simple way I could do this myself, btw, feel free to let me know... I'm completely comfortable with the console, and I've (personally) modded Morrowind for years so although I don't know the Creation Kit too well, if someone gives me basic steps I'll have no problem editing things. I can't script worth a damn though, so if it comes to that you're gonna have to give me something I can copy/paste

(oh, one other thing, I've tried using http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20829 and it doesn't seem to fix anything at all. I thought maybe this is because the NPCs have already died in my game, so however that mod is accomplishing its goal doesn't work when I resurrect/kill/thrall them again. If anyone has any insights there that would also be great!)
