📋 About This Mod
########MEGA UPDATE: I updated all the files, hopefully all the meshes and textures are in their right places. The Alsatian version should be working now. I ADDED LEATHER ARMOR HURRAYYYY. I added 20 health for the helmets because the DR is 2 so i just added 20 health...makes sense to me. Same with leather armor, 60 health becasue of 6 DR so the helmet and armor make 80 health upgrade to leather armor version for a total of 135 on the dogs in the leather armor version because they start with 55 health...yeah######## Not a complicated file, just wanted to make this small mod because I had a problem with the NCR dogs in vanilla new vegas; they looked ripped apart and bruised! Poor things. I realize they are dogs of war but their NCR trainers care about their well being and grooming. So why don\'t they LOOK taken care of? Well that\'s what this mod does! -Changes the NCR dog models to regular dog models with yellow eyes because of the NCR colors. -Adds a trooper helmet to NCR doggy buddies! Don\'t go without protection! It also makes them look more ferocious and combat ready, grrrr :o) INSTALL: just move the NCR Doggy Buddies.esp to the Data folder in your fallout new vegas folder under steam/steamapps/common and move the mesh folder into data, if it asks to merge, hit YES. Then you need to check the box next to it in the launcher. When it launches, hit Data Files and select the box OR use FOMM (very good idea) and check the box next to it that way. UNINSTALL: awwww.....ok just deselect from FOMM or the standard launcher data files selector, delete the .esp and the mesh. +CREDITS+ AlienSlof: for making the awesome Alsatian dog skin! pintocat: for making the awesome leather armor for dogmeat!
