📋 About This Mod
- Can be given a custom name (requires SKSE and UI Extensions)
- You can change the magic school that your baby dragon uses
- Magic schools include Fire, Frost, Shock, Restoration or no magic
- Baby dragon likes sweetrolls, try giving him one sometime
- Has a custom summon spell, it can be found in Eldergleam Sanctuary
- You can either add him to the vanilla pet framework (recommended) or use a Follower Framework when you pick him up
- You can ask him to wait, send him to a town, or assign him a home through the vanilla pet framework
- Nether's Follower Framework is recommended if you choose to manage him with a follower framework
(he can be recruited into Nethers by selecting 'Do you want to come with me, pup? - yes, I know he's not a dog, thank you)
He's near the pools in Eldergleam Sanctuary. However if he doesn't show up for any reason, use AddItemMenu (or a similiar mod) to give yourself a copy of his Summon Spell, this will move him to your location (Summon spell is called Summon Bragon - typo intentional).
He won't speak when I meet him.
Save and reload your game, thank Bethesda for pointless updates that break things.
Does he fly?
He does not. Please don't bring it up again, he's sensitive about it.
He keeps aggroing enemies!
Yeah, he's feisty. If he's alerting enemies to your presence, try asking him to use no magic or have him wait somewhere.
Can I publish a patch for Baby Dragon?
You sure can. I may do updates if something is broken but I have a lot on my plate so I encourage people to make and publish patches. Just link to the original.
How do I import him in to a Follower Framework?
This has only been tested with Nethers Follower Framework (which is what I recommend anyway). When you pick him up, select Custom Framework. You will then have a dialogue option 'Do you want to come with me, pup?' which will automatically import him into Nethers.
Which is better, vanilla framework or Nethers?
They both have pros and cons. I recommend the vanilla framework unless you need the pet spot for other pet followers that can only use it.
Do I need BEES?
If you are not on the latest Skyrim version, you will need BEES, this mod has a 1. 71 header.
ESL?
Open perms???
Double yah. If you want to use these assets to make your own - probably much better - baby dragon, go ahead. I have no interest
