📋 About This Mod
I am currently haveing a hard time in RL, my mother was in the hospital and now I am currently taking care of her as she recovers. So I am most likely going to be alittle slower in answering questions.
But I felt I and others have put to much work into this mod for it to not be released, so I am releaseing this as a OPEN BETA. I have personally used this mod and uninstalled it mid game and tested the heck out of it (many many hours of use and testing), but I could never get any closed beta testers.
So I label this a OPEN BETA, all main features are working and included in this mod the only things not "finished" are custom icons and custom ground meshes.
About TTW: Fallout2AM has made a TTW version of this mod for anyone interested, it requires NVSE 4. 6 or up and it has a optional MCM menu. I am not sure if I can link to the forum or not, but its on the offical Tale of Two Wastelands forum in the converted mods section!
I want to give a huge THANK YOU to Fallout2AM and llamaRCA, without these two awesome ladies this mod would never have been released. Go give them some Kudos!
=================== Before Installation ===================
When installing this mod you do NOT need to start a new game, you do however need to FIRE Dogmeat (he will head to Vault 101 Entrance) and then uninstall any other Dogmeat mods (make sure you get any items you may have given him). This MUST be done before installing my mod, otherwise the new variables and ai packages may not work as they should.
============= Current Update ============= 0. 6:
- Fixed small script error dealing with the search commands.
- - Removed the console printing, they where for my testing purposes.
=========== Description ===========
Another part of my "Its a Dogs World" series, this mod completely overhauls almost every aspect of the vanilla Dogmeat along with adding brand new functions to him such as equipable armor/clothing.

New equipable armor/clothing for Dogmeat, you can now "equip" Dogmeat with 6 body armor, 2 dog packs, 5 headgear and 8 neckwear options. The armor boosts Dogmeats DR and the gas masks add a bonus to poison, fire and radiation resistance.
Dogmeat can now carry items for you, but in order to have access to his inventory you MUST equip one of the dog packs on him. You can get around this by going into the cheat dialog found under tactics and then options, this will let you access his inventory without equipping any packs. All items can be taken from Dogmeat's body if he dies.
A true passive mode is now included, Dogmeat can be told to not fight at all so that you can keep him with you even if your not looking for him t
