Basics:
Adds a new feline companion, Elmo, to the Japantown apartment!
You can find Elmo there once you have purchased the apartment.
Elmo has 12+ different spots she can be found at around the apartment, and can also be petted the same was as in the Pet The Cat mod.

Change the cat's appearance?
You can pick and choose what the cat looks like with the Apartment Cats: Custom Cats mod!

How to pet Elmo:
Upon entering the apartment, approach Elmo and Greet/Fuss her (not available if she is asleep*, let her sleep!)
Once fussed/greeted enter and leave the shower or wardrobe.
If you showered she will be sat at the food bowls, if you used the wardrobe she'll be next to the record player.
Now you can give her pets!
(*If she is asleep simply use the bed, or run out of the apartment, to the stairs/vending machine and back, and she'll change to a new spot)

Compatibility risks:

Low, I'm still one of the only ones modding these files currently.
Does not edit any files I use in my other mods so they are all compatible too.

The mod edits the following files:
  • base\workspots\animals\cat\cat__sit_ground_food__eat__02.workspot
  • base\worlds\03_night_city\_compiled\default\interior_-13_15_0_1.streamingsector
  • base\worlds\03_night_city\_compiled\default\quest_b0ee5744da29cf3b.streamingsector
  • dlc\dlc6_apart\loc_dlc6_apart_wbr_jpn\quest\scenes\dlc6_apart_wbr_jpn_interactions.scene
  • base\localization\<lang>\subtitles\quest\dlc6\dlc6_apart_wbr_jpn_interactions.json

The mod adds the following file:
  • base\localization\japan_cat_name.json
  • base\quest\main_quests\prologue\q003\characters\japan_cat.ent

Known issues/limitations:
I had to expand the apartment's trigger volume to prevent you seeing Elmo appear/vanish. This just means you are considered to be inside the apartment a little earlier than in the base game, it shouldn't have any other effects.

Bugs:
If you find any, particularly with the Greet/Pet localisations in this mod or in the wider game, please let me know using the bugs tab!
