Does anyone know of a way to rename Dogmeat?

[WomanWizard]

Like with a cheat or something?

I really don't have a problem with the name Dogmeat. The thing is the day the trailer was released I got news that my childhood dog was going to be put down. She was half German Shepherd and a lot of Dogmeat's mannerisms remind me of her. I would really love to rename Dogmeat in her name.

I realise I'll probably have to wait for a mod or something if I want to do this, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to do so now.

I come to the forums to enjoy video games discussions.

Instead feels overload.

♥♥♥♥, with that story I'd be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ demanding Bethesda reprogram the entire GAME around your dogs name!

:(((

Edit: I have two GSDs now, but had one put down to cancer when he was just 4. This was only a few years ago, so Dogmeat's whining still gets to me...

prid [insert reference ID here] then SetActorFullName

or maybe just setname (click on them, type setname "name", just the name u want)

according to someone in fallout 3/nv

Does that survive Save/Reload?

Actually, I'm not interested. I'd die IRL if I saw someone shooting Butch in game...

Sorry to hear about that. My dog was pretty old by the time she was put down. She had really bad arthritis and it got to the point that medicating her enough to make her comfortable wasn't really possible.

Whenever Dogmeat gets hurt and yelps, it reminds me of when I would accidentally step on my dog's tail hairs.

If I can get this to work, thank you! If not, thank you anyway :)

Okay, gave it a try and couldn't get it to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong since I've never used cheats in fallout before.

I get "Item 'Stella' not found for paramerter Message" when I try SetActorFullName. When I try setname, I get "Script command "setname" not found"

Any other ideas?

I'll nip in game and try it out and let you know if it worked for me...

you click on the dog first? For when you want to change the values of stuff using console, you have to click on the object in the game and write out the command. The ID of what u click on should be showing when you do it. Sometimes it'll even click on something different that;s also in your vision and mess you up but yea. They might not work since I know the one used the new vegas script thing.

SetActorFullName doesn't work at the console. It's used in a script and it needs a message object as a parameter. http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php/SetActorFullName

If you want to change the name of an actor from the console, make sure you have FOSE installed and type:
SetName 'something' <enter>

So says the internet

For setname I clicked on Dogmeat and his ID showed up. For SetActorFullName I put his ID in myself.

Ah, so in order to change Dogmeat's name I'll need to install FOSE? If that's the case I'll look into it later. I don't feel like exiting the game right now.

Thanks for the help!

FOSE is Fall Out Script Extendor. There isn't one for FO4 yet but it'll be being worked on, if not before the official modding toold are released early next year

I dont think you can rename him yet, but I think you can rename a dog you buy. There is a guy roaming around that sells you different ones. They one I saw him with looked like a Rotwiler.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for it then. Looks like I won't be changing Dogmeat's name any time soon.
