For those looking to give the post-apocalyptic Boston setting an extra dose of canine cuteness, the mod is available for download on NexusMods. Regarding its creation and the pictures below, 7iger has said:
With it still being relatively early for Fallout 4 mods, 7iger wasn’t able to exactly nail every nuance of Pirate, but even so, this ought to delight dog lovers and owners to no end, as they will now be able to roam the Wasteland with a simulacrum of their true-to-life pooches. Plus, since Dogmeat can’t die as a companion, the mod will make for an extremely enjoyable experience, as one’s pet can now continue protecting its master indefinitely and roam freely forever, as it will be impervious to the indifferent hands of death in the virtual realm.
As previously mentioned, even though Fallout 4 has only been out less than a week, this isn’t the fist mod to go live. In fact, just yesterday we reported on an in-game alteration that turned protagonists into the professional baseball player affectionately known as Big Papi with a Boston Red Sox David Ortiz mod. Unfortunately, the inclusion of the licensed sports iconography ruffled the rather delicate feathers of MLB copyright holders, which later led to the mod’s creator taking it down.
Nevertheless, with Fallout 4’s first graphics mod releasing a little over a day after the action-RPG dropped, fans should expect to see plenty more posted soon. And with Bethesda promising would-be developers the official Creation Kit mod tools’ release date as being early 2016, the Commonwealth is sure to become even more interesting next year.
