About this mod

A patch to prevent the "My Pet Nix-Hound" quest from starting on installing the Creation Club's "Nix-Hound." Also allows the Nix-Hound pet to fight and take damage.

Unofficial Creation Club Updates - Nix-Hound

With this plugin installed, "My Pet Nix-Hound" will no longer start as soon as you load up the game, and the Notice of Sale no longer magically appears in your inventory. Instead, it appears on the bar at the Retching Netch. Reading it will start the quest. After that, everything will continue as normal. Additionally, the Nix-Hound has now been made Actually Useful. He can attack and be attacked (he's essential so he won't die). Also, I've increased his level from 2 to 10, so he can carry more and put up slightly more of a fight.

I'll update this mod as and when I find further issues and/or areas to improve in the Nix-Hound file. If you spot anything you'd like me to fix or have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments and bug report section!

Please note that this will not stop the quest once it's already been started, so is best used on a save that has not yet been loaded with "Nix-Hound" installed. You shouldn't run into any game-breaking problems, though.

Requirements

  • "Nix-Hound" from the Creation Club

Disclaimer

I am not the original author of the Creation Club file that this patch depends upon. This patch is not supported by the original author(s), in any way, shape or form, and is an independent mod with its own responsibilities and faults.

Installation

  • Make sure you have Nix-Hound downloaded and installed from the Creation Club.
  • Download and install the patch, preferably using NMM or MO.  If you want to do it manually, it should be as simple as dragging and dropping the .esp and script files into your "data" folder.
  • Enjoy!

Uninstallation

  • Uninstall the patch using your mod manager, or delete the .esp and script files from your "data" folder.  This should safely revert any of my changes back to vanilla.  However, as a rule, uninstallation of mods mid-play-through is not supported by Skyrim, and is a practice that should be viewed with considerable caution.

In addition to modding, I'm a semi-professional writer in my spare time!  If you'd like to see some of my other stuff (short stories, books, blog posts etc.) then I'd absolutely love you to support me by checking out my website, or alternatively, if you're one of those wonderful people who'd like to help pay my rent, by buying a copy of my latest novel!
