Dog Question

Probably a minor spoiler.

Is Cola supposed to follow you as soon as you return to Old Paul at the end of Let Sleeping Dogs Lie? I've got her following me wherever I go and I can't interact with her. Also, Old Paul is asking for food to feed her but is not taking it from me when I offer it.

Yes please, how do I get rid of the dog? He's very cute but breaks the game. He sometimes pushes me off cliffs and buildings. Also the old guy Paul is following me around, sometimes he pops in out of the blue and asks for food for the dog!

Same problem, dog follows me around everywhere I can't dismiss it and Old Paul keeps asking for food.
Do you need the dog for anything else later? otherwise I'll just markfordelete
I'm on the latest version.

I have attached my save file with the dog following. I only have around 80 mods.

I had held off on updating from 1.0.0c to the latest because I prefer a broken Cola that stands perfectly still to one that follows me around, but I made a backup of my save and will see what happens to me in 1.0.0f. I only have around 15 mods, of which maybe 3 have actual gameplay effects (instead of just being cosmetic/UI/Framework). As soon as the download finishes I'll test out what happens and if I get Cola following me I'll also upload my save.

Edit: Loading a save from after Cola was saved did not result in Cola following me around. One thing I DID notice though is that the quest script has Cola's alias as just Cola and ColaAsPaulsPet was NONE. Loaded up a save from right before I accepted the "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" quest. Going through it from start to finish now to see what happens.

Edit2: Completing the quest from start to finish on 1.0.0f results in the ColaAsPaulsPet alias being correctly assigned, and now Cola is following me. I have attached my exitsave.

(As a note, in BOTH circumstances, Paul still refuses to take Dog food from my inventory during his follow up dialogue.)

I still have a backup of my save from before I even accepted "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie", let me know if that would be useful/helpful in diagnosing this problem.

(Double posting because apparently edits don't count as 'new' for the purposes of notifications/etc.)

Having the same issue... could it be unlimited Follower messing it up? i would upload my save but with over 300 mods... ya i dont think it would be that usefull XD
I noticed(didn't fully test yet)Darlene as a follower keeps breaking the questlines... was using her on 2 playthroughs and quests kept borking up especially when Jake was following me... Doing a current playthrough without picking her up and so far no issues besides some small stuff!

I don't have that mod so that's extremely unlikely. (Not that it can't be a factor in any problems YOU'RE having, but it's certainly not responsible for my experiencing the same thing).

It's hard for me to get more detail without being able to see the papyrus source (CK and FO4edit only give me so much detail), but it seems like the AI package (Which is only associated with the ColaAsPaulsPet alias) is latching onto the wrong ref as the "owner" when setting it to follow.

Yeah I also don't have unlimited followers, but I do have a bunch of companion mods like Heather Casdin, Depravity and Project Valkyrie which let you have 3 or 4 followers at the same time

Here's my current save. I've played ahead a bit since completing Let Sleeping Dogs Lie. Separate issue, but I'm currently trying to complete Hub of the Problem, however Jake won't move now that I've entered the basement. I cannot progress further in the quest.

I am not using Unlimited Followers, but I am using Everyone's Best Friend and More Smarter Companions
