📋 About This Mod
There Now has a STAND ALONE Version in the files. So If you wanted a Shadow (the Husky) & Dogmeat together you now can.
Please Note that shadow currently isn't as smart as dog meat so she cant take comands or find things. But she can wear dog armor. She is found outside the cave behind Redrocket.
After some requests for a darker version of my other husky texture. Here it is :)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (5,945 endorsements) — this is a proven companion mod.
- Standalone design means you don't lose Dogmeat, which is a big plus for players who want both.
- Optional replacer version gives you flexibility if you prefer to swap Dogmeat's look.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may have compatibility issues with newer game patches or DLC.
- Only one companion type (dark husky) — if you want variety, this is limited.
For Fallout 4 players who want a canine companion with a unique look but don't want to give up Dogmeat. Also for husky lovers who want a more realistic dog companion. Skip if you're looking for a fully featured companion with quests or advanced AI.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a standalone companion, you can recruit it without affecting Dogmeat — look for it in the game world or use console commands to spawn it.
- Check the optional files if you want the replacer version, but be aware it will replace Dogmeat's appearance.
- If you're using a mod manager, install the main file first, then decide on optional files based on your preference.
