About this mod

I wanted my dog in the game

Permissions and credits
Mod name: Thistle
Uploaded as is, barring any mod-breaking updates.

Adds the dog "Thistle" to the world. Because I wanted my dog in the game.

Thistle can be found lurking around on an island in Lake Ilinalta below Lakeview Manor, near the Guardian Stones. She matches the rocks really well so listen for the barking.

She may or may not fight for you, seems to depend on her mood at the time. Sometimes she runs away. Because she's not stupid enough to take on a dragon. She may randomly provoke bears.

To install copy all the folders into Data folder.
Dialogue issue: After loading the mod, create a new save. Close the game without interacting with Thistle. Reload and now go speak to Thistle.

To uninstall remove the following files:

Data\meshes\Thistle\Thistle.nif
Data\textures\Thistle\Thistle.dds
Data\textures\Thistle\Thistle_n.dds
Data\textures\Thistle\Thistle_s.dds
Data\SEQ\Thistle.SEQ

and all scripts starting with "Thistle"
Data\scripts\Thistle

Thistle is
- recruitable
- unique
- essential
- is slightly smaller than the average skyrim dog

Thistle can:
- Follow
- Wait
- Go to a location
- Trade
- Go home (to the island)

The real Thistle is a 33kg mutt in Australia, who can come, sit, drop, stand, turn right and left, fist bump, high five, heel, jump on targeted items, hold things, carry things, fetch, go to bed, get in the car or in the house and look really disdainful if anyone but her owner gives a command. She's pretty cool.

*IF ALSO LOADING MY BUNNY COMPANIONS MOD, LOAD THE BUNNY COMPANIONS IN DATA FILES SORT ORDER FIRST. OTHERWISE THISTLE WILL NO LONGER BE DISMISSABLE. IDK WHY.*

Update log: 21. Jan. 2016
I uploaded the shadow fix. While it looks cool the dog doesn't have as many spots as the glitchy shading made her have. Both files left up so people can choose how spotty they want the spotty dog.
