Duke Your new Best Friend

[AyseYenilmaz]

Somehow Duke stopped responding to me after I sent him home for a while. Now he follows me again, but I can*t "talk" to him anymore...

[DrRockzo1986]

Yeah the domination stuff is fine, but constantly having to drop what I'm doing to get pissed on is annoying. I'm going to have to let this one go. A step in the right direction though.

So it's still a buggy mess? No replies from OP at all? No updates? Nothing? I like duke as a companion but I find it extremely annoying that you can't recruit him after he's dismissed, and instead of going home just follows you around. No console commands fix this, you can't kill him through console, you can't do anything to make him go home or act like a normal companion again other than making a new save. On top of this every about 10-45 seconds (I counted btw) he demands sex, or to piss on you. There's no real point in having him as a companion if you can't play the game

Correct.

You can disable him, at least.

just in case anyone stumbles on this page looking for updates: mod has been confirmed dead since April by the author in the discord server bc of the next gen update breaking any change thats attempted and that anyones free to pick up and continue the work on it (as it is open source)

[DexterSat]

of course, I understand that this mod has been abandoned and has not been updated for a long time... but does anyone know why I have a wooden door in Duke's house and I can't get in, even though I have a key (reinstalling the mod in neither the new nor the old save didn't help)

[ADisapointmentYes69]

I just had a problem back in 2023 and i figured id post my solution. There was an additional door and wood panels placed over dukes home door. i moved the 2nd door and wood aside withe the console commands ( modpos x #, and modpos y #. the # being the value of units of movement, i recommend increments of 5 and 10) In my case his was caused do to some mods in the A StoryWealth mod pack.

what game version are you running?

[Miles04]

Is duke supposed to be silent/not have any sound? if not is there a good sound file for him?

 

[TheD4rkness]

duke isnt spawning at the playground, is my version outdated?

[dav42]

Does this plugin actually work/load?  I am noticing it has broken property references passed into Papyrus scripts, and these are all references within the plugin itself.

 

Alright, well I fixed it.  The main issue was a deleted navmesh record, had to load into CK and mark it as ignored and then clean the plugin.  I also fixed the broken references and stripped ArmorKeywords.esm off.  I managed to find Duke, talk to him, and find the home.  Not sure what else there really is to do in the mod.  In any case, here is the patched plugin and I also decompiled the Papyrus scripts and included them (didn't change them or test recompilation).

 

Whether these edits break or fix anything, I don't know.  I didn't see any quests trigger, but I didn't really play it very long.
