📋 About This Mod
No Fall Damage for House Cats
.
No more finding dead felines around Whiterun. This mod completely eliminates fall damage for house cats, saving them from Bethesda's buggy engine physics.
🐱 The Problem
Ever step outside of Dragonsreach, look out over Whiterun, and suddenly see a cat plummeting out of the sky to its death?
Because of engine quirks, animals sometimes load into the worldspace high up in the air instead of on the ground. While this is annoying enough when it happens to a mammoth, it makes absolutely no sense for cats. Real-world cats possess incredible righting reflexes and can easily survive massive falls unharmed. They shouldn't be dying to basic physics glitches!
🛡️ The Solution
This mod injects a custom perk directly to Skyrim's house cats to completely remove their fall damage. They can now safely drop from any height, land on their feet, and walk away entirely unscathed.
(Bonus Feature: Some versions also optionally give the cats unique, custom names!)
⚙️ How to Choose Your Files
This mod is split into standalone choices based on which cat overhaul you use in your modlist. All files are safely ESL-flagged and will not take up a standard plugin slot.
