📋 About This Mod

What is this mod and what does it do?

Its a Mesh and texture replacer for Dogmeat based off of the Nightstalkers from Fallout New Vegas. This is a VISUAL. CHANGE. ONLY.

Please Note:

 this mod is a mesh experiment, and as such, there may occasionally be oddities in the mesh in certain poses. I tried to track down all the ones I saw but there may still be others.

Compatibility

Because of difference in size and shape of the mesh, outfit items may have clipping issues with this mesh.


Future Plans:

Create different variants and add spawn locations, basically re-create my Nightstrikers mod using this mesh for those who preferred the more snake-like Nightstalkers.
