If Meeko still dies, you have to manually set him to essential.
Type > setessential 000D95E9 1 < in the console.
To prevent this, you should install the mod, before you find him. Of course there could also be a conflict with another mod, but the console command should solve this problem.
some months later i know, but FYI i commented the fix that worked for me:
click on him and use the console command "resetinventory". it refreshed his appearance for me. i'm not sure how permanent it is yet but it worked to show the mod skin.
IF YOU STILL HAVE VANILLA MEEKO AFTER INSTALLING TRY THIS: click on him and use the console command "resetinventory". this changed him to the black wolf form i'd picked. i can't guarantee it will *stay* that way, but it did work for the moment. the game seems to treat his skin as his "armor" (similar to how horse colors work) so it refreshes him and shows the correct mod skin.
Do mods that change perks effect what perks he gets? I'm using Ordinator. I'm also curious what stealth perks he has and what level his stealth stat is
Edit: Aww nvm I can't seem to get him to follow me, he just sits there next to the bed looking at me (Vanilla bug, not the mods fault) I've tried manually starting and completing his quest, as well as resetai, disable/enable, and kill commanding him, but no luck
I might would like this better if his mouth wasn't always hanging open like he's waiting to be handed a steak. The models and textures are great, but that one bit drives me INSANE.
I was wondering this myself. I’ve used the mod for quite some time but now that I have fluffworks on a bunch of other creatures, and fur shaders on armors I ran into Meeko and he stuck out like a sore thumb lol
Hi, I'm not sure why I can't seem to get this mod to work in my game. I have it installed through Vortex, SSEedit didn't find any conflicts, and THMeeko.nif is in the "character assets dog" folder. A weird thing I noticed is when walking down the road the True Meeko model showed up for just a second before disappearing and leaving a regular vanilla Meeko. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thank you
If I get this mod will I still be able to trigger the event where my child asks if we can keep the dog? I've heard that some mods that change the appearance of Meeko stop it from happening, but like, I don't want him to stay in a crusty shack waiting for his dead owner the whole time until i take him on another mission
It seems the two mods aren't compatible. You can use SSEEdit to make them work together.
1. Open the plugin file > Diverse True Wolves and Dogs.esp < in SSEEdit. 2. Inside SSEEdit look for > Diverse True Wolves and Dogs.esp / Race / DogCompanionRace. 3. Remove the entry > DogCompanionRace < 4. Save and exit.
Be aware, that other companion dogs will revert back to their vanilla looks and sounds, if you delete that entry.
Did you check if SSEEdit saved your changes to the mod?
I did try both mods you mentioned, but only the Diverse Wolves and Dogs mod did cause this problem. Meeko also uses the texture from the other mod and not the one from True Meeko. I could fix it with deleting the entry, but if that doesn't help you, then I'm not sure what causes your issue. Sorry.
Alright, I did some more testing and I think I got an answer. The workaround I posted does indeed work, but only if you haven't found him yet. Meeko's appearance gets written into your save file by the other mod.
It worked for me because I never had the mod installed before and loaded an old save file, where he was already traveling with me.
You just have to deactivate the Diverse Dog mod, save your game without it and activate it again. Of course it will only work, if you removed the entry > DogCompanionRace < from the plugin.
Awesome! I really appreciate you digging into this. I was wondering why all the other domestic dogs had the old appearance, but Meeko looked the same. :P
Hey im trying to add the texture to my own custom dog companion, by following the https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/Adding_a_Follower_NPC_to_Skyrim Guide it tells me to look for an .esp in Wyre Smash so I can make an .esm but im unable to find the .esp. Im very new to modding so im not sure how to go about it. any help would be appreciated.
(Edit) Vortex never deployed lol... I found it now.

I have done so many times.
Do you use other dog mods?
i do use a wolf replacer. i know this only replaces his appearance, but was hoping to get some advice on changing his sound(s).

EDIT: Nope that didn't change anything. It could be Savage Skyrim, though i don't recall that declaring anything about dogs.

I'm happy we could fix it.
