This mod replaces the cat model with the cat model from The Witcher 3. It also adds retextures for NPC cats.
To be honest, I always found the cat model in DAO was a bit unnatural, it kind of stuck out of the game environment. So I decided to port the cat model from The Witcher 3, but since I didn't know much about modeling before, my first attempts were too bad to share. Now I like the result and I want to share it with you!
The mod contains 3 retextures for cats:
REQUIREMENTS
4 GB Patch
INSTALLATION
To uninstall the mod, just delete the "Cat Project" folder from your "override" folder.
COMPATIBILITY
This mod is not compatible with other the cat model replacers.
It's also not compatible with mods that modify the shale200_kittydemon.utc and vgk210cr_kitten.utc files.
KNOWN ISSUES
Kitty's eye glow is currently disabled because its position doesn't match the new model's eyes. I don't know how to edit the position of this visual effect. I may need to edit the CUT files for each of Kitty's phrases, but without the source files, this is impossible.
HOW TO USE RETEXTURES
If you don't like cats with grey fur by default, you can make them with black or red fur by following the instructions below.
You can make NPC cats with grey fur and green eyes like all other cats in the game by opening the NPCs folder in the Cat Project folder and deleting the shale200_kittydemon.utc (Kitty) and/or vgk210cr_kitten.utc (Ser Pounce-a-lot) file(s).
