Overview
Dedicated to our beloved four-legged loved ones who were lost. Each mod for the deceased pet has a dedication under Help > Dogmeat
Very sorry for your loss.
Notes
If you are starting a new game, this mod does not make changes to "Dog" at the beginning of the game. The player will still have to talk to Mama Murphy to learn what she calls him. Afterward, Dogmeat's text name is changed.
If installing on a current play-through, make sure you've talked to Mama Murphy to learn Dogmeat's name, otherwise, he will remain named "Dog". Dismiss Dogmeat prior to enabling.
Use a test character to test first prior to enabling it on your main save.
Installation
Part of mod management is knowing when to download mods. Adding mods to your favorites from the Bethesda.net website as you build your Framework can help you stay organized.
Not enough space in your favorites to plan your full load order? Now you can favorite your full load order without having to worry about it! Download Ugh. Mods Manager Cap.
How to Install
- Download mod, adjust load order
- Return to the main menu
- Play
How to uninstall
- Delete the mod
- Delete saves associated with the mod
- Start new game
Compatibility
Do not use with other mods that modify the popup messages for Dogmeat.
This is a simple re-namer created to be as conflict-free as possible. This mod does not edit Dogmeat's NPC entry or race. It also makes no changes to any sound files, quest text (other than the above), or graphics so it should be compatible with most mods and is available to both consoles.
Load Order
Put it low in your Framework with your other quest mods, below any mods that make any changes to Dogmeat or When Freedom Calls quest.

Aria
Requested by sgtrecoil99 for their partner
Aria was a wolf hybrid so uses the Husky option as requested.
To transform Aria into her true form, craft her collar at a Chem Station and then equip it on Aria like you would the Transdogrifier MkII.
Skins are armor pieces. Never remove armor (and weapon) mods in the middle of a playthrough and continue on the same save. There is no way to unmerge from the naming records. Modders were not given the script functions to do so. Always start a new game when changing load orders.
Compatibility
This mod is designed to be as compatible as possible with other mods and as such does not edit Dogmeat's NPC entry, skin file, or race. The collar is totally separate from the transDogrifier collars to be as compatible as possible. It also makes no changes to any sound files, quest text (other than the above), or graphics so it should be compatible with most mods and is available to both consoles. Season Pass is required for the scripts necessary to merge INNR records for proper transDogrifier naming in the workbench.

Rudden
Not a request. Edfitz1 lost his friend.
If you are starting a new game, this mod does not make changes to "Dog" or coat colours. The player will still have to talk to Mama Murphy to learn what she calls him. Afterward, Dogmeat's text name is changed to Rudden. To give Rudden his new bonus and coat colour, craft it for TransDogrifier Mk I and equip it on Rudden. You can choose between "Rudden" and "Powered-up Rudden."
Season Pass is required for the scripts necessary to merge INNR records for proper transDogrifier naming.

Bethesda.net does not allow the word scrap and so the name of the mod there is Dearest Dogmeat - Best Dog Ever. Scrappy does show up in-game, however. :)Requirements
