📋 About This Mod
Description:
A little something I did for my friend - because getting Schmooples can be a nightmare - thought I could share it. This mod allows you to ask the Idle Dwarf for a nug without talking to Leliana about it first. It also doesn't matter if you did her personal quest or if you have high approval... You don't even need to bring Leliana with you to Orzammar. Just talk to the Idle Dwarf in Dust Town, and the dialogue option will be there. Enjoy your cute nug!
Installation:
Download, extract and put in your override folder (usually located in Documents/BioWare/DragonAge/packages/core).
Uninstallation:
Delete downloaded files from your override folder.
Compatibility:
Not compatible with any mod that changes lel00c_nugcatcher.dlg file (dialogue with the Idle Dwarf). Haven't seen any myself so far but just in case.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (308 endorsements) and widely downloaded (11,776) – clearly a mod people want.
- Zero hassle – just install and you get Schmooples without jumping through hoops.
- Lightweight and focused – does exactly one thing and does it well.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 – may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.
- Only affects a single companion's pet – if you wanted more nug-related content, this isn't it.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter companion quests or requirements – test with your load order.
For Dragon Age: Inquisition players who want Leliana's pet nug Schmooples without completing the usual prerequisites. If you're a completionist who enjoys the challenge of unlocking companions' extras, you might skip this – it removes that requirement. But if you just want the adorable nug in your playthrough, this is a quick win.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod files in your Dragon Age: Inquisition 'Mods' folder (or use a mod manager like Frosty Mod Manager) and ensure it's enabled before launching the game.
- Since this mod alters requirements, start a new playthrough or load a save before the point where Schmooples would normally be obtained to see the effect.
- If you use other mods that change companion quests, load this one after them in your mod order to avoid conflicts.
