Disabling the Meeko and Stray Dog encounters

[RuneTracer]

Hello!

 

As the topic says, I'm looking for a way to completely disable Meeko and the stray dog encounters.

 

I tried my best Googling around, looking for mods that already did this, guides on random encounters and quests, or anything that even comes close - but all I can find are mods that improve all the dog stuff, and FAQs and troubleshooting for when the dog followers don't work as intended (and I even tried to reverse engineer what I gleamed from the latter to get my desired result).

 

Does anyone know of a guide, or helpful pointers, that could help me completely remove Meeko and the stray dog encounters? Just 100% disable them.

 

I don't want them in my game, especially the stray dog one, which is buggy and glitched and causes me all sorts of problems. I don't want to fix them to work better, I just want them gone entirely.

 

I thought about simply removing both NPC types using the CK, but I'm worried that will cause problems in the quests/encounters in which they're supposed to appear.

 

Thanks for reading!

I have made a bit progress on my own so far, but only with the Stray Dog encounters.

Using the list of World Interactions here: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:World_Interactions , I was able to find out what the "Encounter Name" was.

 

With this, I went into the CK, and under Character > Quest > Wilderness Encounters. There I was able to use the "Name" column to match the text from the list I got above.

 

Upon attempting to delete the quest, it gave me a few warnings about the Form's use in a few Nodes of the Story Manager, as well as one AI Package. I checked out the Nodes, and it seems they all dealt with the randomization conditions of this being one of the possible Wilderness Encounters that would generate in the world.

I deleted the quest anyway, and saved it to a separate .ESP file to test out.

In the meantime I'm looking to remove the Meeko encounter as well.
