About this mod
Control what dogs are silent and what dogs can bark in your game and when, where and how often with a help of Dynamic Animation Replacer. Customizable alternative to Quiet Dog animation replacer mod. No esp/esl, just conditional DAR folders with silent .hkx animations for dogs
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
Unlike with original Quiet Dog, with this mod certain types of barking won't be forever rendered out of existence. With my simple mod you can just disable (or reduce frequency of) barking for your current dog followers and keep it for all the other dogs in game. Especially useful with bandit owned dogs - you will be able to hear them from a far. If you left your canine follower to wait, barking will be activated to make it easier to find your dog on a way back.
