Catmeat - Dogmeat Replacer for Fallout 3
Author - Lord Dlichnum
Version - 0.5a

Description

This is a quick mod to change Dogmeat into "Catmeat", a largerly oversized feline to aid you in your adventures. All of his basic behavior and scripting has been retained, so the behaviors that made Dogmeat so fun to have around are still present in Catmeat.

Installation

Drop your chosen Catmeat.esp, meshes and textures folders into the Data files. Check the esp in FOMM.

Issues and Oddities

Catmeat is supposed to have no sounds at all. The mod I got the basic cat animal from does have sound, I'm simply too ignorant to be able to get them to work in game. Now, I did say "supposed", since, right now, if you talk to Catmeat he will happily bark and pant at you. I don't know how to make that not happen. Also, his name is not changed in dialogue in this version. This is a pretty quick mod. I apologize for any inconvienance or anger this causes. It's completely my fault.
