Help Me Find My Goat :(

[Fomorian]

I'm kind of new to mods, and I need help.
I've used a mod on PC which enables me to tame animals to have as companions. So I found this goat in Falkreath and made her mine because she seemed possessed by evil or something. We had some good times. Once she followed me backwards. Mostly she just carried my burdens.
Long story short, I stored a bunch of Daedric armour on her and some other items I didn't need/couldn't carry. Everything was fine until I decided to purchase a horse in Riften. Little did I know that the two animals cannot coexist at the same time. Something to do with the mod and the size of the animals. Anyway, so now I have a horse, but my goat is nowhere to be found. Occassionally the game would inform me that the goat is ready to be levelled up/trained. I haven't fed her in a while (about 4-5 game days) and I'm worried she will die off-screen or that I will never see her again and never get my stuff back.
I tried console command kill my horse, hoping that would make the demon goat pop back into my life, but for some reason it didn't work on the horse. I don't know what to do, please help before I lose my goat truly forever :(

Horses return to the stable you bought them from, or their spawning location for ones you don't buy. Followers do the same. So thats where I would expect the goat to go. You could also check your known spells, as some of the pet mods (and the Pets Creation Club item) add spells to summon a pet to you.

Wild horses are unkillable, if that's what you tried to kill.

I'll try that, thanks.

It's not wild, I bought it in the Riften stablesss. Unless I did it wrong. I typed "kill" in console command and clicked on the horse, also typed the code when it didn't work. I was able to kill myself though.

That is truly heartbreaking, I'm so sorry.

Have you guys reunited yet?

Ok, but you need to click on the target then type the kill command...

That doesn't work. I also tried to kill the horse the old-fashioned way by beating it up, but it just doesn't die when HP reaches zero.
I went to Riften (where I bought the horse) AND to Falkreath (where I originally found the goat) to see if the goat will show up and it wouldn't.

Since the horse cannot be killed, does anyone know if there is a mod that would allow me to sell it or something? At this point I just want to get rid of my horse in order to get my goat back.

No :( and I'm taking it personally :(
I read the mod's description beforehand and I had a feeling I might lose my goat if I get a horse but I had no idea HOW. Like. I remember when I'd be able to get into The Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood and my goat would be able to come with me and just chew something while looking at me. But not even that anymore :(

If it's a vanilla horse, it will charge ahead of you and attack, even when you're in stealth mode. Find a bandit camp and sneak up on it. Your horse will attack, so just hang out out of range and let the bandits do your dirty work.
Fast traveling will usually bring followers and mounts to your current location. Check the mod's notes too, to see if there's a workaround. I remember Goatkinn from Oldrim. It was sort of demonic, but on the side of the DB so uh, I guess that makes it ok.
There are also mods that increase the number of allowable followers.

Was it just a random goat you found? What mod did you use to recruit?
I don't want to get your hopes up, but some mods can have the abilitu to help find the goat. But most likely not. I can look into console commands and scripts for you. But things are looking bad.

If its just a random goat, then im assuming it just despawned.

Im thinking we may find a way to teleport the goat to you. But im just spitting teories here.

Can you go to an earlier save?

I tried a mod that would help me increase the number of followers but it didn't work. I also disabled a mod that improves horses in Skyrim (the thing responsible for my horse's invincibility) and I was able to kill the horse, but it did not make the goat reappear, even when I fast travelled.

Unless you have a save from before you lost your goat, your goat is gone for good, sorry

The mod I used is "Instincts - Animal Taming In Skyrim" by Mumirnik. I found the goat in Falkreath town, I used Instincts power to feed the animal and make it mine.

I did go back to my last save with the goat, but it's too far back for me to consider playing from that point on.

However, I did manage to get the goat's ID code, it's ff0011df. I think there's a command code that would teleport it to me, I'll try it.

I don't have my hopes up, but I still want to keep trying, thanks for all your help ;-;

[tulle040657]

You can check if the goat is still ion the game by typing

prid ff0011df

if that does not give you an error you can type

moveto player

to move the goat to you . Be warned that even if the goat is still in game you stuff stored on the goat or may not be gone
