📋 About This Mod
Gotta Pet 'Em All reprises and expands Technitaur's You Can Pet The Cat by allowing you to use the 4 interaction modes (talk, steal, look and grab) with the animals of both Daggerfall and Ninelan's Daggerfall Expanded Textures.
All interaction modes will give different flavor text fitting the animal you're interacting with. Animals you pet, and who like it, will play a sound effect
as a token of their appreciation. Some animals will refuse to be petted though, but won't otherwise hurt you. The new sound effects come from the Hannah Barbera Sound Effects Library, the same one that was used for Daggerfall's enemies.
Happy petting and enjoy trying to talk with a horse.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 266 endorsements and over 25k downloads.
- Adds a fun, immersive layer to animal encounters in Daggerfall.
- Works with both vanilla and Daggerfall Expanded Textures animals, so it's versatile.
⚠️ Cons
- The stealing interaction is described as 'fail to steal', so it's likely a joke feature rather than a real mechanic.
- No details on whether it conflicts with other animal-related mods, so you might need to test.
- Last updated in February 2026, so it's relatively recent but not actively maintained since then.
For Daggerfall Unity players who enjoy quirky, immersive interactions and want to pet every animal they see. If you're a completionist who likes to exhaust all dialogue options, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for serious gameplay changes—this is purely for fun.
