Annoying pets... And how to fix them...

Hmm... Out of combat. Perhaps a toggle system. 2 toggle options. 1. Hide your own pet, so you can fish, gather a node without that flapping thing blocking your interaction, screen shot, etc. 2. Hide other player pets if out of combat, so you can talk to that NPC. Once combat enables, the invisible pet phases in does its thing, then after combat, invisible again. From a programming side of thing. If PC goes in combat, pet is visible, continue loop till combat ends, pet vanishes. Reset loop. Next battle, loop starts again. Toggles would tell the engine if to show the texture skin of the pet, which makes it visible and interactable. 1. to show if you want to see your own pet out of combat. Yes or No 2. To show other players pets out of combat Yes or No. Might help a small bit with FPS lag in cities if you don't see other peoples pets flapping around, or blocking NPC's, or blocking your own actions (Fishing, screen shot) If you have a pet, out of combat, it would be programmed to be invisible, assuming ESO works like older games like Morrowind when I played with TES, this would remove the skin texture and all interaction. It would only appear, once combat was entered. At which, textures would appear. After battle, pet would go invisible again. Depending on your toggles, would not annoy you or other players.

Remember to use a collar on them.

With lightning prod or leash?

Get all the things you want in your home and you'll never see a pet again (except for hand ins)...

It doesn´t really matter. I would choose depending on the specific argonian´s colour, so the combination of scales and selected spell would match or combine nicely

Would love a toggle off other players pets both sorc and noncombat pets and companions rather than yell at them to put away just for us not to see their flappy or flashy pets less lag and arguments... tored of clicking the banker in vet trials mid combat causing wipes..

I think a toggle should be built in too but there is a nice add-on which allows for easy, one key dismissal. You can have a key for "dismiss all" or by "type" for sorcs. I love it as, even as a sorc, I HATE Madam Flappy. I so wish they'd at least make her a bit smaller.

After having a 4 year hiatus coming back to the game this was one of the first mods I looked for, to remove to the menagerie people run around with. Still haven't found one

I use an addon called PetDismiss.

I bind Dismiss All to 0 and when I am in a city, I just dismiss my pets.

Same here. It's simple, works and one less person with pets clogging things up at crafting stations or the bank.
