Backpacks for the dogs of Skyrim.
- Designed to fit Meeko Reborn and Vigilance Reborn, but should work on other dog followers (dogcompanion races) with some clipping.
- Backpacks can be made at Tanning Rack (Dwarven Backpack at Forge).
- With a dog backpack in your inventory, talk to your dog to tell them to "Put on backpack."
- With a dog backpack equipped on the dog, talk to them and say "Open backpack" to open their inventory.
- Take the backpack off from their inventory to unequip it (duh).
- Can also craft various "Dog" accessories at Tanning Rack and Forge.
- "Harness" accessories are designed to fit the Harness backpack and can be interchanged, or can be used by themselves.
- Backpacks and some accessories provide carry weight bonuses. Some provide armor bonuses (see below).
- Dog lanterns actually emit light.
- When dog has lantern equipped and player is sneaking, a dialogue option to turn off the light appears. When the light is off, a dialogue option appears to turn it on (requires SKSE to work). (Any lantern with the Dog Lantern Effect and in the Lantern List will be affected.)
- Custom loading screens.
Notes:
- Most assets use vanilla texture paths.
- All new records, no overwrites.
- If you don't see the option to put on backpack, try reloading your save and maybe reload the game (Skyrim quest weirdness).
- Lantern lights may not work after teleporting, should work again after reloading game (not sure why).
- Custom dog? Try adding its race to the Armor Addons, and voice type to "_E7_DogBackpack_DogVoiceList" in xEdit to make them work.
Requires:
- SKSE to toggle dog lanterns.
SSE Version:
- Saved to form version 44.
- Ran files through Cathedral Optimizer.
- Tested and confirmed working in-game
