About this mod

Adds a Yao-Guai with a backpack to the game.

Permissions and credits
This mod adds Yogi, a trained Yao-Guai with a backpack to the game. Yogi is a nifskope edited companion, with a new-ish texture (basically I erased all the sores and open wounds in Photoshop to make him look cared for). Yogi has a backstory, and is lore-friendly. He has all the dialogue options of a vanilla companion, and a working companion wheel. When Yogi is hired, he gives you the perk "Bear Back", which increases your maximum carry weight by 50. I reduced Yogi's size to .75 so that he will fit better inside buildings, and lowered his health and damage slightly so that he won't be too overpowered early in the game ( you can get him at level 1 if you want). Yogi will level up with the player, just like the vanilla companions.

To find Yogi, head to Jean's Skydiving and look for the aftermath of a battle in the road (there are some bodies and some weapons/casings). Then travel in a straight line into the desert from there, and look for a small camp with a dead body and a Yao-Guai with a backpack. You will have to take a note off of the body before Yogi will talk to you. If you have trouble finding him, look at the motion-sensor thing in the bottom left corner of your hud; he will be the only non-hostile "blip" on it (unless you're not enemies with the powder gangers, but they're in pairs, so look for a single "blip").

The mod does require you to have the Honest Hearts DLC, or to have the "Ultimate Edition" of the game, since the base Yao-Guai model, and all of the attack and movement data for it, is from that DLC.

=====UPDATE=====
I edited the sound files for Yogi (for his "attack" sounds, I had to make it so ALL yao-guai are now quieter, because editing the .kf files to link to my new sounds is something I really am not up to doing) to make him quieter, fixed a few spelling errors in his dialogue, and shrank him down from .75 to .65 to fix problems with him not fitting into some of the indoor spaces.
