I've been with Serana about 70 hours. Whenever we get seperated, I'll use the "moveto player" console routine. Her number "was" 02002b74. Now it has changed to 03002b74. Is this just some weird glitch in my machine, or has it been changed in the real world? Discovered the change last night, when I leaped off the side of Faldor's Tooth, and got way ahead of her, and was unable to get her.

Also, I gave her a highpowered Daedric axe long ago, along with 4 staffs, each at 8lbs. I took the staffs from her last night to recharge, as I've done many times. When I went to give them back, she no longer had any capacity to carry them?? The only thing I could give her, was 0 wt items like arrows--everything else was grayed out.

I removed the axe, and then found she was able to carry only two staffs. Why the huge loss? My carry capacity is 460, and I only have 260lbs on me, and, it seems from a thread ages ago, your followers capacity was tied in with yours.

I loaded a hard save from long ago from when her number was 02002b74, and she could carry a lot more. The only new mod is Bella's Better Females, and it was unchecked when I loaded the old save. I removed the staffs while in that load, and found she was no longer able to take them back there either.

Went ahead and loaded my current save. I made her some new glass guantlets, only this time, they were enchanted with a weight fortification of 40+ lbs--that worked, as she was able to again carry all her weapons as before...but why?

Why did her PRID number change (at least in my machine), and why the sudden loss in carry capability?

Been playing 717 hours--this is the first oddity like that I've ran into...anyone else? Just curious.

Changing 02 to 03 is just a matter of the load order of your Mods/DLC since you using the console your on pc.

As for the carrying cap I assume that you added some new mod/patch/change or perhaps removed a mod that altered this. It shouldn't matter what the load order is on it I think but you don't know with Bethesda these days.

That's about it from me, need someone more into the tech aspect to help me thinks. I would say try changing your load order (forget how or I'd tell you.) Though I think there is something about it under the data files option when you first load the game.

"Inv" may show her carrying hundreds of her unplayble hoods, which will prevent her from carrying more.

Her ref ID changed because you added Hearthfire. It's nothing to worry about.
