Unofficial Creators Club Update - Nix-Hound

A patch to prevent the "My Pet Nix-Hound" quest from starting to install Creation Club's "Nix-Hound". Also allows Nix-Hound pets to fight and take damage.

Unofficial Creator Club Update - Nix-Hound

With this addon installed, My Pet Nix-Hound will no longer launch after you load the game, and sale notifications will no longer magically appear in your inventory. Instead, it appears on the Retching Netch bar. Reading it will start the mission. After that, everything will continue as normal. Additionally, Nix-Hound is now functional. He can attack and be attacked (he's essential, so he won't die). Additionally, I increased his level from 2 to 10, so he can carry more and gain a little more combat power.

I will update this mod as I find further issues and/or areas for improvement in the Nix-Hound files. If you find anything you'd like me to change or have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments and bug reporting sections!

Note that this will not stop the mission once it has been started, so is best used on saves where "Nix-Hound" has not yet been loaded. However, you shouldn't encounter any game-breaking issues.

Require

"Nix-Hound" from Creation Club

give up

I am not the original author of the Creation Club files this patch relies on. This patch is not supported in any way, shape, or form by the original author, and it is a standalone mod with its own responsibilities and bugs.

Install

Make sure you download and install Nix-Hound from Creation Club.

Download and install the patch, preferably using NMM or MO. If you want to do it manually, it should be as simple as dragging and dropping the .esp and script files into the "data" folder.

enjoy your meal!

uninstall

Uninstall the patch using the mod manager, or delete the .esp and script files from the "data" folder. This should safely revert any of my changes to vanilla. However, as a rule, Skyrim does not support uninstalling mods during playback, and this practice should be treated with caution.

Unofficial Creation Club Updates - Nix-Hound

With this plugin installed, "My Pet Nix-Hound" will no longer start as soon as you load up the game, and the Notice of Sale no longer magically appears in your inventory. Instead, it appears on the bar at the Retching Netch. Reading it will start the quest. After that, everything will continue as normal. Additionally, the Nix-Hound has now been made Actually Useful. He can attack and be attacked (he's essential so he won't die). Also, I've increased his level from 2 to 10, so he can carry more and put up slightly more of a fight.

I'll update this mod as and when I find further issues and/or areas to improve in the Nix-Hound file. If you spot anything you'd like me to fix or have any suggestions, please let me know in the comments and bug report section!

Please note that this will not stop the quest once it's already been started, so is best used on a save that has not yet been loaded with "Nix-Hound" installed. You shouldn't run into any game-breaking problems, though.
