IMPORTANT - It seems some people are having problems with wrong ID codes for companions, the majority are not however. I don't know what this issue is but i presume it's something to do with what country you're from. You can find ID's on gamefaqs, fallout 3 wikia page, or an intelligent googlesearch.



* Added the text file the immature people have been so desperately waiting for...

This is more of a console command solution than a mod but here it is.

There are 2 workarounds here.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE DOGMEAT AS A COMPANION AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY - open the console and type "setessential 0006a772 1" Dogmeat is now invincible. Don't shoot him or youre in trouble!


IF DOGMEAT HAS PREVIOUSLY DIED AND YOU'D LIKE HIM BACK AND INVINCIBLE - open the console and type "player.placeatme 0006a772 1" then while the console is still open, click on dogmeat to select him and type disable. This is important because he will spawn with errors if you dont do this. Now repeat the "player.placeatme 0006a772 1" and then type "setessential 0006a772 1" Voila! Dogmeat back and unable to die.

This will work with all companions and their codes are the following:

Fawkes: 0003D34E
Seargeant RL-3 : 00094867
Charon: 000156f6
Star Paladin Cross: 000156e5
Jericho: 00000a71
Sydney: 00003a22
Clover: 000156a2
Butch: 00027f65
