I've tried Cerwiden and a couple of other followers in the last two days. Except they don't leave the inn they're at. I tried save/close down/ reopen. still no joy?

First make sure your follower limit doesn't stand in the way of hiring them - you can only have 1 follower in the vanilla game. With mods this can be increased significantly. Just using Vilja and have followers following her will allow for many of them. So make sure you don't have a follower following you when you try to hire a new follower.

With Vilja I have Sofia, Eryniel and Selene Kate. I want to see how far I can go before the machinery starts with lagging etc. Can't remember if I went on my own to recruit them but will now go and try that.

Well, they don't follow even if I am on my own. They stand up say ok! then sit or walk away.

I'm having trouble with Sofia after I dismissed her. She still has dialogue but won't follow or open her pack. Therer is a list on Nexus on how to fix but it is a real Pain and the issue is reacquiring. I did a re-install with MO and it didn't resolve the issue.

They are stuck in an alias. They think they are following still. Make sure they aren't following Vilja. Then make sure you dismiss them yourself. Then use Viljas' reset spell on them. It will reset ANY NPC.
It can be very sticky to fix.

I had a messed up follower count once. Had to use the consol to fix it. But it sounds like you have a different problem.

Ok peoples this is what worked for me. I had used AFT tweak to dismiss Sofia and have her stay in Breezehome. I went back into tweaker form my spell book and used a command there that dismisses vanilla and she headed back to Whiterun, I was at the Eldergreen, so think it's an issue with some companions using the tweak option to dismiss them to stay somewhere other than there spawn location.

I have AFT but never use it's options. Just it being active and enabling more than one follower. The reason being it eventually always caused some sort of bug like you, Collin or Wotan mentioned. With Vilja without that mod you can still get the stuck in an alias mess quite easily. I had Sofia follow the PC, then told her to follow Vilja, then used an AFT on her. She was apparently on 3 follower lists. Unloading and reloading the mod was the easiest way to fix. Vilja's reset spell won't work if AFT simply puts things right back.

My problem is getting them follow me at all from their inn, at start of 'follow me'Cerwiden agrees, still doesn't come from the inn. Just returned Mjolls sword to her, said she would come with me, then when I said 'follow me' she walks away like other followers.

After you ask them to follow you and they agree, does the option to ask them to follow Vilja appear in their dialogue topic list?
If it does, then asking them to follow Vilja should work. I've used that to get troublesome followers to join my party in the past.
I don't have AFT.

Not sure if it will help but in the past with Ceri issues, not the same as yours though, I did a re-install of the mod in MO. That seemed to correct the problem since it appeared to be a error in the original install.

Got Ceri to follow by taking Vilja with me and introducing Vilja to Ceri. That worked!!
