📋 About This Mod

Huskies and Co. Mounts and Followers

by gg77 versions 2. 9 and 2. 9 BIS

Optional File: Esp Version Française pour les versions 2. 8 et 2. 9

"Huskies" allow you to summon Huskies (with a New Armored Husky) and other Dogs (German Shepherd, "Shiba Inu", "Akita Inu", Painted Dog) Mounts and (-simple-) Followers wherever you want.

You can dismiss easily your summonable mount.

You can find the two Companions/Followers (with speech) in the Riften Stable.

Dawnguard DLC is required

If you like the German Shepherds, you have also my other mod with 4 Companions (German Shepherds): Rex the German Shepherd Companion

To access in Vvardenfell (Morrowind) and Cyrodiil (Oblivion) with these mounts you have the 2 mods WIP: SKYWIND and SKYBLIVION

INSTALLATION (very important)

Only for the manual installation:

1)You have to put the folder « Data » in "... Steam/SteamApps/common/skyrim "

For the manual and the NMM installations:

2) You must place the new .esp at the bottom of the list in the "Data Files" when you launch the game to obtain the 23 books...(Normally, this is done automatically !)

3) (Only if you have download other mods "Summon...") You must INSTALL the summons (my other mods "summon") ONE BY ONE ! (ALL my mods are STANDALONE !)

You can find the “Spell tome: Summon XXXX” and the "Spell tome:Dismiss Summoned Dog", at Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach/Fort Dragon (Whiterun/Blancherive) or with an other "Spell Vendor" (ex: Sybille Stentor in the Blue Palace/Palais Bleu in Solitude).

Duration of the summon: 1 hour (15' for the "Husky" and the "Armored Husky")

4) You can put in your Skyrim.ini ( user / my documents / my games / Skyrim ) the following settings (you can copy / paste the following):

fVanityModeMaxDist=2000. 0000

fVanityModeMinDist=10. 0000

fMouseWheelZoomMinDelta=0. 0050

fMouseWheelZoomSpeed=0. 8000

fMouseWheelZoomIncrement=0. 01

fMinCurrentZoom=0. 001

These settings allow you to see all mounts (of my mods) correctly, whether your character takes his weapon out or not

Bugs or Problems

1) If you have any problem with these mounts, you can try a FAST TRAVEL...

2) You can only have one Follower at a time: if you want a different one (in my other mods), you need to dismiss the first one before you recruit them.

If telling the follower to return at home (With message: “Your companion heads home”) doesn't dismiss him, or if you have "lost" the “active” Follower, you can try this:

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Huskies and Co adds summonable husky and dog mounts and followers, including an armored husky variant, to Skyrim. Requires Dawnguard DLC. With 439 endorsements and over 10,000 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for dog lovers. Last updated in 2015, so compatibility with current versions is unverified.

✨ Key Features

Summon huskies and other dog breeds (German Shepherd, Akita, Shiba, Painted) as mounts or followers anywhere.
Includes a new armored husky variant.
Easy dismissal of summonable mounts.
Requires Dawnguard DLC.

📊 Pros & Cons

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2015 — may have issues with the latest Skyrim versions.
