Feedback, opinions, pics, bug reports, votes, endorsements, horses and feature requests are greatly appreciated.

PLEASE NOTE: To make her wear whatever you choose, Go to her menu and tell her to "GET NAKED" this will remove all her outfits so you can add your own through her Inventory Menu Option...and conversely, If you want her to get naked, remove all the outfits from her inventory and ask her to "get naked". If she refuses to turn to ranged weapon, it s not a bug, just give her some ammos ;)
