For the Launch of our v1.04 of S.P.E.C.I.A.L.Costumes
we made this S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Canine perk pack beta
for more info about these perks scroll down
vanilla tested to stay within balance boundries


Craft at the Chemstation 
for 1 bottlecap.
(yes 1)



This is a pre Creation Kit project.
Please hit that endorse if you like it.



Perks effects:

(S)trong Back - More Carry Weight
(P)owerful Paws - Less chance to get staggered and pushed
(E)nhanced Life - Slight lifesteal on hit,.... if his opponent isn't a robot he heals a bit
(C)hameleon - Chameleon effect while sneaking. Perfect for ambush playstyle and de-aggro
(I)ntelligent Dog - Knows how to avoid some armor, so the tougher the mobs the higher his damage
(A)gile Steps - Has a lower "spotted" aggro profile, and makes him sometimes lose enemies when he breaks line of sight
(L)ucky Reflect - a portion of Melee damage gets reflected back with a set percentage (we all hate seeing Dogmeat get hit)



Current version is an all'round tool kit preview of our Canine line with survivability and combat enhancement gear.
Being a beta it is made to fit well with about any build and can help a.o. to keep Dogmeat alive a bit longer. 


More dog perks
for this set are
added soon

Why beta?


Ok, beta might be a strong word, the mod works (sofar flawless) and has been playtested for hours upon hours
However we, and the whole mod community are waiting for our tools. Currently we are working with basics.
That means we can not script too complicated stuff and implement all the things we want.
 

We are Coffee Cats, a 2 man code team and SirenMel who does the artwork and creative input S.P.E.C.I.A.L.Costumes is our first published mod. 
Everything was playtested and we made balance guidelines ourself based around our years of Fallout experience.
We both have well over 200 hours on the clock in Fallout 4 alone and that is without mod structure tests.
I have played Fallout since FO1, Pyrosurgery played it since FO2 and we want to make sure that 
the S.P.E.C.I.A.L.Costumes named releases feel right in the Fallout universe.
The mod has been on my mind for a while so we had to make it.
and enjoyed it so much we decided to release it as bonus
This was all made in FO4edit since we avoid Xsnip


Once more powerfull tools are available we aim to release 7 unique Canine sets focussed on each S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
You are witnessing the early stages of a new mod team waiting for CK,
eager to enhance your playthrough.



FAQ:


THE COSTUME WONT FIT. HOW CAN I WEAR THIS AMAZING GEAR???

try our human/ghoul gear it fits better on characters.
(this is the canine armor page.....)



WHAT? I CAN HAVE S.P.E.C.I.A.L. COSTUMES TOO??

Yes,
For all our character + follower Costumes follow the "Brand new Costumes" link up there ^
(Our character gear allows you to grab the looks you love with the stats you need!)



Anything it wont do?

Does not overwrite files, not even textures or vanilla texture input. 
So it can be customised with 3rd party mods.
It will not do the dishes or vacuum your house,.... we tried.



I love the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. for Canines any word on your Character Costumes getting this too?

In the future most likely, Published under S.P.E.C.I.A.L.Costumes Bonus as standalone packs
(bonus lore pack preview can be found in the main NMM download).

For now we want to keep our S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Costumes around vanilla and balanced.
The way we have our mod allows full range of customisation for the user.
The craftsystem is rock solid and items created have unique REFID's.
All 3rd party mods overwrites are enabled for all but the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats.
