📋 About This Mod
Finally here! Released to the wider public, the Faithful 3D Animals mod is here.
Simple as is! The models in this mod are crafted to be as similar to the originals as possible.
Meaning that the models are compatible with various other visual overhaul mods which try to keep to the spirit of Daggerfall's aesthetics, or if you want to keep it simple, the base game itself.
THIS MOD IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DECORATOR. Placed animals will disappear! While 3D animals works fine with Airships, if airships AND decorator are used in tandem, saves may no longer load properly!
This mod does not change inventory sprites of horses.
The animals do not have collisions, as you might get stuck in animal-dense locations.
Faithful 3D Animals replaces Daggerfall's animal billboards with 3D models designed to match the originals. A well-received visual overhaul for Daggerfall Unity, with 637 endorsements and over 31,000 downloads, last updated in September 2022.

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're using Daggerfall Unity, not the original DOS version—this mod is built for the Unity port.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the install to avoid file conflicts.
- Check the mod's load order if you have other visual overhauls—place it after them to ensure it takes effect.
