          Questions/Answers:

          ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          How do I get them to follow?

          There is no quest and simply activating/clicking on them will make them follow you.

          What are the mod dependencies or conflicts?

          There are no mod dependencies only base game and DLC.

          What voices do the characters have?

          Dog Voice and puppy dog eyes to control you and make you give them treats. Mountain dog and chihuahuas have unique barks because of their size.

          Will they level with me?

          All dogs will level 1:1 up to level 50. All dogs start at level 5.

          Will they affect my stealth?

          Nope...sneak away.

          How are they in battle?

          These dogs are un-agressive but loyal and will protect friends and allies.

          Are they essential or protected?

          These dogs are essential and will adventure with you forever and continue adventuring after your own sad untimely death.

          Can I give them a unique name?

          So you want to name your dog, Mr. Fluffy Puppy Pants? I don't judge. This mod should work for renaming your dog:

          Jaxonz Renamer

          Can I adopt them all?

          I completely understand. This mod should work for adopting as many dogs as you want:

✨ Key Features

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 428 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
  • Huge variety of breeds—12 different dogs to pick from, so you can find your real-life pup in-game.
  • ESL-flagged, so it's light on your load order and won't eat up plugin slots.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2021, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
  • No mention of custom AI or unique behaviors—these are likely just reskinned vanilla dogs, so don't expect fancy combat tricks.
  • Potential conflicts with mods that alter vanilla dog skeletons or follower frameworks.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a loyal canine companion and love having options—whether you're a dog person with a favorite breed or just want a change from the vanilla husky. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls or complex follower systems; this is purely about adding furry friends.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's ESL-flagged, you can install it with any mod manager and it won't count against your 255 plugin limit.
  • If you're using other dog mods, load this one after them to ensure the new breeds appear correctly.
  • Check in-game at a stable or follower location to see all the dogs—they might be placed in specific spots, so explore a bit.
