Bring Meeko To Lod

Description

This mod is made by request of /u/Chillocks on the skyrimmods subreddit here.

It adds a dialogue option to Lod (the Blacksmith in Falkreath) to give Meeko (the dog from the shack in Hjaalmarch) to him. As /u/Chillocks pointed out: "Lod wants a dog and Meeko wants an owner. Seems like a perfect pair."

There are some requirements for the dialogue to show up:

• []Meeko must be following the player and be close to him/her.[/]

  []The player must have at least agreed to Lod about catching the dog outside Falkreath. (given the fresh meat)[/]

  I've added an extra line to Lod after you have found Barbas: "I'll keep an eye out for other dogs in my travels." This sets the global to 1 should the default way fail, in order to bring Meeko To Lod.

  Troubleshooting

  If you have already started A Daedra's Best Friend, but still want to bring Meeko to Lod, you can use the console command:

  set PlayerKnowsLodWantsADog to 1

  Also make sure Meeko is near you when talking to Lod. This will make sure the dialogue option will be available.

  Both the main ESP and the optional patch have been flagged as an ESLs, so they won't take up an ESP slot in your load order.

  Compatibility

  There's a patch in the optional downloads for my other mod called How Hard Is This Persuasion Check. Load the patch after both mods.

  There's also a patch for Missing Follower Dialogue Edit. (Thanks to foreverphoenix.) Load the patch after both mods.

  If you use any follower mods, like NFF, you might need to dismiss Meeko, in order to stay at Lod's, after you told Lod to have him. I've included a SPID file which automatically excludes Meeko from NFF. Some users reported that this doesn't work anymore and Meeko won't stay at Lod's place. As such, NFF might now be incompatible.

  A Dog's Life already has this mod included. Note: This might be outdated at this point.

  Known issues

  If you give Meeko to Lod, the message will pop up: "Your pet returns home." This is hardcoded as far as I know and happens when a pet follower is dismissed. Which is required to make Meeko follow Lod instead.

  Q: Valdr attacks Meeko after he has been brought to Lod! Help!

  A: This mod should help.

  Q: Does installing/updating/uninstalling on an existing save work?

  A: As far as I know, it should. However, it's good practice to keep a backup save prior to doing this, just in case.

  Q: Is this compatible with <insert mod>?

  A: I don't know by h
