📋 About This Mod
=========== Description ===========
I have always found the dog textures in both Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 to be really lacking, they feel low res and extremely under detailed. This mod I hope remedies all of that.
This mod provides higher res, and much higher detailed textures for the Normal dog. The textures where made by hand using REAL dog photos and hand drawing, in this release I have done my very best to keep them "lore friendly" and as close to the vanilla dog coloring as possible. This should keep the vanilla game feeling but with much better quality.
I have tried to minimize and remove all the seams, however the UV Map for dogs is really horrible and I found this mod rather difficult to do because of it. So you may see a few of them, but NOT they as bad as vanilla.
=============== Texture Options ===============
Optimized Pack: This version provides 2048 diffuse textures with 1024 normal map textures, it is the best performance with minimal loss of quality.
Large Pack: This version provides 2048 diffuse textures with 2048 normal map textures, this is the best quality but should only be used by people whose computer can handle them.
Small Pack: This version provides 1024 diffuse textures with 1024 normal map textures, the lowest quality of the textures but it should not hurt your performance at all.
Vanilla textures are for comparison 1024 diffuse textures with 512 normal map textures.
============ Requirements ============
===================== FAQ / Troubleshooting =====================
Q: Will this hurt my game's performance? A: This really depends on your computer and the amount of mods you install. If one of the larger option hurts your performance then please try the small pack.
Q: Does this affect the "Vicious" dog? A: Not at this time, I will have to make mostly new textures for that breed. Maybe in the future.
Q: Can I use a mod that retextures Dogmeat? A: Yes, but this mod will most likely not effect Dogmeat then.
Q: Will this work with ENB? A: Yes, it should.
Q: Can you make a different dog breed for me?! A: Not at this time, I am not taking requests. I am working on a German Shepard texture though.
Q: What is the ENB in the ENB screenshot? A: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/20017/?

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture-only mod, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no load order worries.
- If you use other dog mods, check if they also change textures; this mod might override or be overridden depending on load order.
- Make sure to test in-game after installing to see if the textures appear as expected, especially if you have other texture mods.
