📋 About This Mod

PLEASE NOTE: This mod MUST be manually installed. FOMM will not install it properly. This Mod REQUIRES FOSE for many of its functions! You will receive an in-game warning if your FOSE is out of date. This mod will not work properly without it and your game simply may be unplayable if you try to run it without FOSE while this file is active. You can get the latest version of FOSE directly from the source over at http://fose.silverlock.org/ The character I am playing in the videos is not related to the mod in any way. It is just some stuff I reworked for an avatar of sorts until I get bored with it. Name: MyDog Version: 1. 05 Date: 7/18/2011 Category: Companions Author: Rain the Windflower Description ========= This adds a customizable canine companion to Fallout 3.

This Description and Readme have also been updated to reflect the new changes. I would recommend giving it a read if you have questions about this mod or any of its features. If you are installing this mod for the first time you can skip this part then you\'re good. This is only for those updating from an older version. If you are updating then you need to READ this! When updating from any pervious version of this mod should: 1) Install the new version of this mod 2) Load up the game go back to your house, or where ever you stash crap, and pick up all Pet oriented things you got. Any Pet items that are either on you, in stash points, or in the Dog Packs are safe.
