I like a bit of role play in my games as well.
2 fun mods I been using are:
"followers can relax"
and" bandit children"
the first mod enables you to take a follower and then release them from service(supposedly temporarily so they will interact with the environment like Serana does).The cool thing is,when you realese them in you're home the make there immediate surroundings there new home(in order for the coding for interaction to take place).What this means is ,you can bring followers to youre home and keep realeasing them and they will stay in you're home and live there permanantly.So you can have 5,10 or 15 followers in youre home at any given time.I use 2..but thought it might be fun to add more.
"Bandit childern mod "is just that.Bandits have children.Usually they don't attack but you can kill and loot them if you want.The fun thing that happens is that you're children become non-essential and also take on all the activities of advlts(use forges,cook,smithing)The only down side is sometimes when they are working the smelter or something,they will grow to advlt size.This only lasts as long as they are doing an advlt activity though.As soon as they are done they return to kid size.
Both fun mods that I been having a blast with.Just remember you and others can now kill your children so make sure to make a save if you decide to smack one around a bit, or (like me)) bring therm as followers to fight a dragon.
Sorry.I cant post the links to these mods(no permission??)But they are easily aquired in the workshop or Nexus.
Have fun
