📋 About This Mod
Turns Dogmeat into a cat. You can pick up to 3 different colors. Default Color, Black and a light brown..
I did not do any weight painting so the mesh will deform around the legs tail and face/jaw/tongue but its fine if you hardly pay attention to stuff like that.
I'm using "play.tv" to record these videos but im noticing the quality looks really shitty. If someone could recommend a video recorder thats like nvidia's shadowplay i would really dig it.
