Replace Dogmeat with CK Dog (need Help)

[Sniperrat121]

Even if i'am quite good with ck, I have a little question, I was planning to make a dogmeat replacer for myself (if it's possible without an esp). I wanted to replace dogmeat with the creation club rottweiler (No rename or anything else) as I had one for 9 long years. I have downloaded the CK rottweiler a while ago, but I was unable to get this to work. Anyone who has experience with that? And yea I know there is the transdogifier but i honestly don't like this method as it feels not very immersive.

Depending on how involved the mod is.... you *should* just be able to replace dogmeat.nif with the new file, pointing at new materials and textures and be good to go.  Dogmeant will look different, but act the same in every way.
