✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 294 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Unique companion concept—a wolf god—stands out from typical humanoid followers.
- Active translation support shows community investment.
⚠️ Cons
- Known CTD risk from missing loading screen model—can crash your game.
- Amaterasu gets stuck in tight spaces, which is annoying in dungeons.
- Development is on hold, so bugs and missing features may never be fixed.
For Skyrim players who want a distinctive canine companion and don't mind a few rough edges. If you're a completionist who hates bugs or CTDs, skip this one until it's updated. It's a labor of love, not a polished mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install manually by extracting the archive into your Data folder, as NMM may fail.
- Save before summoning Amaterasu in tight areas to avoid getting her stuck.
- If the model doesn't appear, check your load order and ensure no other mods override her assets.
