About this mod
Adds a small, immersive (that is, plot-triggered) cat to Anders' Clinic or the Hawke Estate, depending on romanced status. This version does not contain any animation functionality, only cat.

Hello, and welcome to the first version of the Sleeping Cat for Anders mod!
Installation:
Place "Sleeping Cat for Anders.erf" into your Override folder. If you do not know where your "Override" folder is, it is found under the same Dragon Age 2 folder that stores your user data (this is the same Dragon Age 2 folder where any screenshots taken in-game will be stored). This will usually be found in your "My Documents" or "Documents" folder, in the "Bioware" folder, and is NOT the one found under your Program Files. This should be the case for both Macs and PCs, but if you have wound up with an alternate filepath, try to find your in-game screencaps folder and navigate up to the "Dragon Age 2" folder. Once you are in this folder, go into "packages", then "core". There should already be a folder named "override" in here; if there is none, and are sure you are in the right location, you may create one. Once in the "override" folder, you can just paste the files there. If you are upgrading from the v 1 version, you MUST delete the previous version of this mod; however, you do not have to run the uninstaller, as this only replaces the core files used in the mod.
Uninstallation:
Delete the file. I'll be honest - I'm not 100% sure how well this will behave if deleted when you have a save where Pounce II here was loaded. It seems like it's mostly fine, but, uh, please do exercise caution?
Features:
This mod adds a basic sleeping cat for Anders in one of two locations. If romanced, the cat will appear asleep by the fire in Hawke's and Anders' shared bedroom; if unromanced, the cat will appear asleep on the desk in Anders' Clinic. This cat will not appear until either after the "Putting out milk" conversation post-Dissent in Act 2 has been completed or until Act 3 if that conversation is not done.
Agenda for Subsequent Release:
I'd really like to see about getting some actual animations for this cat, even if it's just breathing and occasional stretching, but honestly that's well above my paygrade right now. Still, people responded positively to the suggestion of a new kitty for Anders, so I wanted to add in at least a little thing like this.
Notes:
I also have uploaded the source .nss file used for this in case anyone would like to reference it.
Permissions:
If you can make this work better, go for it, just as long as you give me credit!
Suggested supplemental mods:
Anders Romance Dialogue Overhaul: Another mod of mine that offers a variety of changes to the Anders romance, including a final kiss in the Gallows for the Friendship route, restored dialogue plot flags, a Karl conversation for female Hawkes, and a selection of additional optional changes to balance out some of the stranger gendering between the m!Hawke and f!Hawke romance routes.
Anders Automatic Romance Outfits: Another (DirectX9 compatible only at this time, sorry) mod of mine that offers automatic romance outfit changes for Anders + Estate move-in functionality in Act 2.
If you experience any issues or have any questions about how to install this mod, please let me know and I will get to them ASAP!
Happy DA2ing!
