MOD NAME:
Maigret's House Cats

AUTHOR:
Maigrets

Version 1.0

DESCRIPTION:
There's no quest, no vendor, just some really cute pets!

There are six cats. White, grey, ginger tabby, pale tabby point and two black, one of which has a scar and a missing eye. He also has a Happa (the Japanese word for leaf, I believe) in his mouth.

They are strictly pets only and will flee (very fast) when there's a fight or danger approaches and will return when it's safe. They are meant to be taken to your house or for a stroll in the garden. Anywhere there's no danger.

Activate each one to have them accompany you and again if you wish them to wait somewhere. When you first activate each cat you'll receive it's summon spell. This only happens once not every time you activate them. You can take all along with you or a few, whatever you like, as they all have their own AI and scripts.

I added the sneak function I gave my other companions. This means that if you wish to take them into potentially dangerous areas they will sneak with you AS LONG AS YOU ARE SNEAKING AND ARE UNDETECTED. As soon as you're detected by an enemy they will flee and return when the danger has passed. If they have taken off through load doors and don't return just use the summon spell to get them back when it's safe.

They are marked essential, have a small healing ability in case of accidents and are player owned, so they won't flee if you or friends hit them inadvertently. They are level 5 and don't level with the player. There are custom meow and purr sounds, as well as a bell sound, which I've attached to the activate script. I used different sounds to the ones in the resource file, except for the bells.

You'll find them wandering near the pond and around Benirus Manor in Anvil.

I have them all following at once without the "Too many followers" message, but it may be different for you so you can take one at a time or two, whatever you like.

NAMES and COLOURS:
Echo - white
Cleo - black
Pepper - grey
Jazz - black with a missing eye, scar and leaf.
Misty - pale tabby Point
Oscar - ginger tabby


The default esp is for the smaller cats. You can an alternate esp for slightly larger ones in the Alternate esp folder. If you wish you can swap esps at any time as it just changes their size and nothing else is affected.

REQUIREMENTS:
I have Shivering Isles installed but no assets from SI were used. Oblivion must be patched to 1.2 however as I used this version of the CS to create them.

INSTALL:
Extract the archive to a temporary folder and check the folder structure if necessary. Then move the meshes, textures and sound folders, plus the esp to your Oblivion Data Directory. Activate the esp and go to Anvil.

UNINSTALL:
Examine the folders in the original archive to see which files to remove.

Your saves won't be affected. Just answer yes to the message regarding missing content next time you load your game.

COMPATIBILITY:
There should be no incompatibility with any mods now as far as I am aware and I use a LOT of mods and have tested with them all active. Older versions had an incompatibility with Better Cities, but that is no longer applicable.

CREDITS and THANKS TO:
HISSSSA for the meshes and textures and sounds.
Morniel_Everhate, a very kind and helpful person.
SavageArtistry for the ginger and tabby point meshes and textures.
Bethesda for the game we love to mod and for the Construction Set.

PERMISSIONS:
This mod is not to be uploaded anywhere else without asking me first. To use the resource files you must contact the original author, HISSSSA who is listed in my credits. I believe they are now a free resource so this may no longer be necessary. This also applies to the new ginger and tabby point meshes and the textures created by SavageArtistry.

No alteration was made to the meshes. They are copies to accommodate the new textures.
