About this mod

A set of books that list the base and reference ids of all the npcs in Skyrim, including npcs from other mods.

I made this mod after many frustrating situations where I lose one of my followers and can't bring them back with the console because I don't remember their reference id. While there are already a couple mods on this site that organize form ids into books (Console books and Console Commands and Item Codes), none of them list ref ids nor list characters from other mods. Since I use Interesting NPCs, I wanted to have the ref ids from those followers on hand as well. As there isn't any single mod or place online that keeps track of ref ids, I decided to attempt something like it with this mod.

The end product is a set of books that list each npc's name, base id, and ref id. The books cover npcs from the main game, the dlc, and Interesting NPCs. I tried to format everything as legibly as possible. The book covers are one of the Winterhold banners, because I thought it looked nice.
The books for Interesting NPCs are currently missing ref ids for a couple of characters, since they were not listed on the wiki where I got this information. When I find them in game, I will update the lists.

Ids for Falskaar came from pStyl3's Falskaar Data Compendium.

Where to find in the game:
In a chest on the porch of the "Riverwood Trader".

Installation:
Only pick one of the installations.
Extract the files into your Data folder or install with Mod Organizer or Nexus Mod Manager.

Uninstall:
Unistall through the manager or delete appropriate files from the Data folder.

Notes:
If you're wondering what the two x's before the ids in the dlc and interesting npcs books are, those stand for the load order number of that specific file.  For example, my load order number for "Dawnguard" is 03, so I would replace the xx with 03 for any npc from Dawnguard. The load order can be found in your mod manager.
