Dogmeat's Backpacks of the Commonwealth

Description:

I've been using Dogmeat's Backpack for some time now, I love that mod and I recently installed Backpacks of the Commonwealth as well. Both mods work fairly well together but I saw some room for improvement here and there. For example, while Backpacks of the Commonwealth adds different types of character backpacks and integrates them into the world, Dogmeat's Backpack mod goes a bit beyond its original scope in my opinion and adds one character backpack that costs too little to craft, is accessible from the start (it doesn't motivate you to explore as much) and adds way more carrying capacity than anything Backpacks of the Commonwealth has to offer for the player character, which makes the character backpack from Dogmeat's Backpack feel kind of imbalanced.

So long story short, I decided to tweak and rebalance Dogmeat's Backpack features to suit my playstyle and to also play a little bit better with Backpacks of the Commonwealth. Since my version was tweaked around using those two mods this is what you should know:

• []Dogmeat's Backpack original mod IS required, mostly because I only uploaded my edited plugin but you still need the textures and meshes from the original mod for things to work correctly (Dogmeat's Backpack - Main. BA2, and Dogmeat's Backpack - Textures. BA2 files). So download that mod, then download mine and let it overwrite the plugin. If you are using my optional 4K upscaled textures, let it replace the Textures. BA2 file from the original mod as well.
  • []Backpacks of the Commonwealth is not required, but highly recommended. It is fully compatible with my version and in a way they are inteded to be used to complement each other. My mod will add backpacks for Dogmeat, and the other mod will add backpacks for characters.

    Features that remain from the original Dogmeat's Backpack mod:

    • []3 types of backpacks for Dogmeat (small, medium and large) focused on improving his carrying capacity.

      []Each type of backpack has 7 different colors to choose from (see screenshots), switchable at the Armor Workbench (no perks required for this).

    • 4 types of dog collars for Dogmeat (barrel, bell, bottlecap and lunch box), each gives Dogmeat a different bonus to suit different playstyles.

      Tweaks and rebalances that are added (on top of the previous features) with my version:
