You can use Gimp (free graphics software) with a .dds add-on to adjust the texture. At a high level you can Export the texture file as a .png from Blender then the .png can be opened in GIMP then export to .dds. You will want to scale image down I usually use 1024x1024 (has to be even numbered) and this is a low scale so it takes less memory. I export with BC3/BX5 which includes transparency and generate mipmaps for texture and normal files. Good luck with your mod!

Hey Friend, if you are interested in a custom follower you could also check out this tutorial. It will take about 2 to 3 hours to complete but hey once you are done you have a custom follower. Sorry I can't help with the preset but hopefully this works and then you can make as many followers as you want. Good luck https://levelskip.com/rpgs/Hot-to-Turn-Your-Skyrim-Character-into-a-Follower

Thanks to everyone that responded. No more testers needed :)

Hello Fellow Modders, I am publishing a Dovahkiin Dogs 2 mods with a few more dogs for Skyrim. I would really appreciate it if anyone wants to help me by QC'ing and enhancing my WIP mod. 1. Check out the models and let me know if there is anything obviously off. I weight painted as best I could but it will never be perfect so I am looking for ok'ish for game mainly. 2. I put all dogs to DogCompanionRace using the game logic for wait/goodbye/stay here, etc. If there is another follower scipt you think would be better it can be added but want to keep in DogCompanionRace to work with other mods. The following dogs are in the mod: BoxerChihuahuaCocker Spaniel - Creme/ChocolateDalmationDobermanFrench BulldogGerman Shepherd and PuppyPitbullPomeranianRottweiler Please message me if you can help and I will send you the link and add you as a contributor to my WIP. Any help is appreciated...even ...umm...yeah it loaded OK :)

Hey Friend, You can use outfit studio to convert .obj to .nif pretty easily. You can download a version on Nexus Mods. Thanks

So sorry for your loss...I know how much it hurts. There are more than a few dog models out now. What type of dog was your dog?

Thanks Friend! I will check out voice type. I have not edited hkx files yet so will try it. If you have any tutorials you could share that would help also if not...I can search also.

Hello Modders, I have a falconry mod that uses dragon animation and mechanics for my birds. The problem is that it also uses dragon sounds and while I have put conditions on sound files to limit to dragon races, any mod that updates dragons or their sounds overwrites my conditions. Does anyone know of an "easy" work around where I can still use the animations but not the sounds? Keep in mind my limited skill set :) Thanks in advance!

I am not sure how often a mod is contested but I think linking to another system with author permission would be a logistical mess and cause less mods to be uploaded. I know that often times just getting a Nexus reply is difficult but if the original Author has to go into Bethesda.net and login and give permission it might be a deal breaker OR I'll get around to it when I do and then they never do... If the rate of mods that needs to be researched/checked is less than a handful every month then IMHO leave it as is. The juice is not worth the squeeze :) Also hope you can remove the mod 1ae0bfb8 is referring to.

I connected with Daeson and should of updated a while ago. This dog along with many others can be found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/40885 Enjoy!

Your work looks amazing! Thanks for sharing :)

Yes I only know how to do it in Creation Kit though where you can set this up as a package for the Follower NPC and the Follower of the Follower. I have done this with a couple of my mods where the follower has a follower. Good Luck!
