📋 About This Mod
Updated for Next Gen
Use the menu under Mods --> Darkercat to set the setting to the darkercat profile or just set them to your own liking
Changes are only applied after drinking a new cat potion (and letting the old one expire)
Description:
I've always found the cat potion effect to be too less colorful and way too bright.
This simple Mod tries to modify it to be easier on the eyes.
v4. 0. 4 Changes:
Updated with the script for next gen version.
Mod now includes a menu for customizing the changes that I did to your personal liking
For classic, download the old version, it still works fine.

Either use the latest NMM or unpack the mod manually to "<game dir>\mods"
Requirements:
This mod will only work for version 1. 08. 1 (or later) of the game.
Tweaking:
This mod simply changes the SetTintColor in the "cat.ws" file.
