so...bit of an issue i came across with the mod. as of 3.01, you can now acquire a canine companion to help you in battles and such. you can leash him to a tree outside Greyport, the tree in the center of Weirdwood, or the Tower of Dread. the problem is, the orb blocks the spot where you can leave your friend, let alone retrieve him (in the event you left him before installing the mod itself.)
so for any one who's thinking of acquiring said companion, and using the mod (excellent work on it though, huge thanks to jong for the effort thus far) you'd be wise to either leave him outside Greyport or the Tower for the time being.
edit:
After downloading the mod, my dog just disappeared from the game. He was at the tree in weirwood town.
your best bet, is to copy your save files to a backup folder, delete the game, then reinstall it without the mod. once you transfer your save back over, the dog should be back at the tree. hopefully this issue is something that can be easily fixed, as it kinda conflicts with the dog atm...but if you want to continue using the mod, you'd have to leave the doggo at either the tree outside Greyport or the Tower of Dread for the time being.
