What this?

In detail this will do:

- enabling accessing inventory(with or without 3rd party mod)
- allow equipping items Dogmeat is allowed to equip
- fixing the inventory interaction prompt not showing up, by adding conditions to the rename feature(player = sneaking/weapon drawn to rename)

What needed?

Of course the CC Golden Retriever Thingy, and anything that allows for opening actor inventories. I'd recommend Quick Trade.

Will it be extended?

Yes. The final goal is to make "Cuteface" a full fledged Dogmeat like follower, or maybe even better allowing him to follow you with Dogmeat by your side. The reason why I haven't done it yet is a. more testing needed, b. questing aka dialoguing in FO4CK is a literal pain in the ass.

Why changes to the rename feature?

Because it is utilizing a perk based interaction prompt, which is the reason for so many incompatibilities with other vanilla features/mods, that have chosen the same approach. The rename feature isn't that really well done either. Guess how "amazed" I was figuring out that they were actually using 100 quest aliases(not joking) in the rename quest, so you can choose from 100 names. Activating a text input menu, and allowing for full fledged custom renaming would probably have done the trick better and more efficient. Just using 100 strings in the script fragment, would not necessarily have done it more efficient, but still better than using 100 aliases. I don't know if you compare a string against a quest alias, bitewise, which one would be bigger?

So yeah, you can tell I do not really appreciate the rename feature, besides you could just use Rename Anything for that, and also the way it was done made you look like an intern. Which wouldn't be a problem at all, for free content...I mean, basically all of my stuff is "internal" most of the time because I really do not have that much time to spare, and I don't get payed. The not so funny part about that is, they payed money to the developer, and make us pay money for it, while there are dozens of examples on the Nexus that show how it is properly done, for free. But hey, "it just works"!

But then why are you even using the Golden Retriever CC?

Come on! Look at his face! How can you not! It's not his fault Beth Devs are lazy.

How do I get access to the CC content?

Only in game I'm afraid. I don't know any other way of legally retrieving CC content other than from inside the game, and having the CC enabled. Let me know if there's a different LEGAL! way. If you're lucky at one point Beth is going to release a GOTY version with all CC content for free.
