About this mod
There are many mods that make Ulfric a follower, but there are none for Rikke. Well, now there's at least one!

This mod makes Legate Rikke marriageable and recruitable as a follower.
This file came to be when I noticed that there are a bunch of mods to make Ulfric Stormcloak a follower, but not Legate Rikke. Since she uses a vanilla voicetype, it was just a matter of plugging in some console commands to add her to the follower faction. Then, when I announced this mod on r/Skyrimmods, I was educated on how to turn this into an esp file! So now, while this is my second mod overall, it's my first "legitimate" mod. Woo!
You have two options for this mod: an ESP file and a BAT file.

ESP UNINSTALLATION
Due to the fickle nature of mods, I do not support uninstalling this. I can't help you if uninstalling this fucks up your game, all I can do is provide you with the safest way to do it. As a reminder, you cannot uninstall the BAT version, and you cannot uninstall at all if you are married to Rikke.
Step 1: Get Rikke out of the control of any follower mods you might be using
Step 2: Dismiss her as your follower
Step 3: Save the game and quit
Step 4: Deactivate the mod
Step 5: Remove the esp from your data folder
Step 6: Load the save you just made
Step 7: Save again
Step 8: Quit the game
Step 9: Use the Save Game Script Cleaner to clean the save you just made
UPDATING FROM 1.0 TO 1.0.1 (BAT ONLY)
Step 1: Remove the original txt file from your Data folder
Step 2: Place the new txt file in your Data folder
