📋 About This Mod

Description:  Have you ever been playing Skyrim and look fondly over to your beautiful pupper, with a great desire to let them know that they're loved. In the vanilla game, there is no such option, and it is never possible to give them the praise and validation that they deserve. This is an affront to my immersion, and I am pulled right out of the game. If I were truly in the world of Skyrim, all of the puppers and doggos would know that they were good boys.

This simple mod remedies this unfortunate reality, giving the player the option to just let their doggo know that they're a good boy.

How it Was Made: It is simple and script free. It won't harm your game in any way. I have not tested it, but this should work for all dog follower companions, as I have added an entirely new follower dialogue branch called DialogueFollowerPraise that only triggers when the follower is of the dog race, so it theoretically should work with dogs added by other mods so long as they are of the standard follower faction and dog race.

Inspiration:  I actually convinced my girlfriend to play Skyrim and as she was starting off, she met Meeko and they became swift friends. Unfortunately while she was playing, she had no way to express to Meeko that he was loved and valued. She then implored me to use the magic of mods to relay to Meeko how magnificent a mutt he was. Thus Immersive Good Boy was born.
