Dog Backpacks and More

Backpacks for the dogs of Skyrim.

• []Designed to fit Meeko Reborn and Vigilance Reborn, but should work on other dog followers (dogcompanion races) with some clipping.

  []Backpacks can be made at Tanning Rack (Dwarven Backpack at Forge).

  []With a dog backpack in your inventory, talk to your dog to tell them to "Put on backpack."

  []With a dog backpack equipped on the dog, talk to them and say "Open backpack" to open their inventory.

  []Take the backpack off from their inventory to unequip it (duh).

  []Can also craft various "Dog" accessories at Tanning Rack and Forge.

  []"Harness" accessories are designed to fit the Harness backpack and can be interchanged, or can be used by themselves.

  []Backpacks and some accessories provide carry weight bonuses. Some provide armor bonuses (see below).

  []Dog lanterns actually emit light.

  []When dog has lantern equipped and player is sneaking, a dialogue option to turn off the light appears.  When the light is off, a dialogue option appears to turn it on (requires SKSE to work). (Any lantern with the Dog Lantern Effect and in the Lantern List will be affected.)

  []Custom loading screens.

  • []Most assets use vanilla texture paths.

    []All new records, no overwrites.

    []If you don't see the option to put on backpack, try reloading your save and maybe reload the game (Skyrim quest weirdness).

    []Lantern lights may not work after teleporting, should work again after reloading game (not sure why).

    []Custom dog? Try adding its race to the Armor Addons, and voice type to "_E7_DogBackpack_DogVoiceList" in xEdit to make them work.

    • []SKSE to toggle dog lanterns.

      SSE Version:
