📋 About This Mod

Welcome to the "Unique Dogs" wall of tedious text!

Comments that show you obviously haven't bothered to read said waffle will most likely be ignored. You have been warned :)

Description

This is my attempt to make mans best friend, a friend worth having. At the

moment if you want a dog follower, other than names there isn’t really

any difference between who you choose. I want to create something that

will make a difference between who you choose to join you, so needless

to say some new textures are just the beginning. I want to change

meshes, sounds, stats…. Whatever I can till we can say these dogs

finally have a bit of “personality”. If you have any ideas feel free to

chip in, however don’t be offended if your suggestion doesn’t get put

in. And more importantly I hope you get some enjoyment out of this mod

should you decide to use it!

The Texture Replacer

The texture replacer gives every named dog in the game a unique texture.

This includes

- Vigilance

- The stray dog

Now, any other dogs, for example bandit’s and hunter’s dogs will use the

standard vanilla texture. I want to add more dogs in the future but at

the same time I want to keep the file size and the performance hit to a

minimum. That is the one golden rule I want to stick to. Personally I

don’t have a pc that was meant for gaming (seriously, not in the

slightest!) and I must be using just about every trick in the book to

make Skyrim run the way I want (almost anyway). So naturally performance

is important to me. I can safely say this mod won’t touch your

performance unless you use hd textures. Scroll down to find instructions

on how to do this.

How to install

ONLY CHOOSE ONE FILE!

It installs just the same as any other mod. If your not sure how to install mods then follow the instructions below.

To use nexus mod manager

1. Click on the files tab above the description

>2. Click on “download with manager”

3. NMM will open and download the file for you. When it’s finished

downloading it will appear in the “mods” tab. Just click to highlight it

and then click the button on the left that says “activates the selected

mod” when you hover the mouse over it.

4. You’ll then see it appear in the “plugins” tab, just make sure the box next to it is ticked and your ready to go!
