📋 About This Mod
I was amazed that a mod like this didn't existed. Mods exist to change Dogmeat appearance to that of a German Shepherd, to make him look like the one on Fallout 4, but I think it should be the opposite; all the other dogs should look like German Shepherd, and Dogmeat should conserve his original look. After all, shouldn't be a dog with Heterochromia the weird one and not the norm?
This is a very simple mod that replaces 'dog.dds' with the German Shepherd skin, and creates two new meshes, 'dogmeat.nif' and 'dogmeateyes.nif', that uses the original Dogmeat skin, therefore, it modifies the Dogmeat NPC to use this new meshes.
And remember, the original Dogmeat is from Max Rockatansky!
