📋 About This Mod
Requires A Cat's Life!
Just a little add-on for one of my favorite mods.
ACL adds a number of owned cats, but Luna is unique in that she's the only one whose owner is very likely to die regardless of your character's morality, especially if you're using other great mods like Interesting NPCs, Redcap the Riekling, or Coven of Crones.
I always felt bad leaving her there all alone, and while you can steal her through ACL's mechanics, it felt odd to have to do that, particularly when I would never engage with that mechanic otherwise. Now you will be able to simply adopt her at any point after Anise's death, hopefully giving her a better life than whatever the hag did.
Flagged as ESL.
A small, focused mod for Skyrim that lets you adopt Anise's cat, Luna, after Anise dies. It's a simple addition for players who want a feline companion from the early game. With 121 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but appreciated tweak.
