With this charming new mod for Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, a tabby cat glow will defend you.

A new Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind mod enables a tabby cat glow to defend you from mudcrabs.In order to shield his eleven-year-old son from the game’s mud crabs, Reddit user and father NoUsernamesNotTaken built the endearingly titled Stripes The Cat mod. A grey cat named Stripes has, you guessed it, stripes all over its body. The father opted to utilise the cat’s likeness in the mod because he wanted his children to be able to recognise it in the game because it was modelled after the family’s personal cat.As the top mod of the month on the Nexus Mods website, Stripes the Cat has proven to be well-liked by the whole Morrorwind community. When the mod is implemented, Stripes may be found in Caldera surrounded by NPCs, and even the moodiest of them, Julan, has become fond of him. Stripes also appears to be the talk of the town in Morrowind.

To strengthen the player’s relationship with Stripes in the game, you may give him rat meat. Although Stripes is extremely snarky, you may call him using a ring that he gives you when you first meet him. Stripes also seems to be quite skilled at following commands because he will do so if you ask him to. The IRL Stripes will faithfully follow them while the family dog is restrained on the lead, which is the final similarity to his real-life counterpart.

Both Companionable Cats and Stripes the Cat must be downloaded in order to play with Stripes the Cat in your game. It’s good to see Stripes come from the same familial urge to protect because the modder who made Companionable Cats made it for her daughter.

In 2002, the Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind game was first made available. With tweaks like these, users may rekindle the fire in Bethesda’s ageing classic. The annual Morrowind May Modathon, which this year also honours the game’s 20th anniversary, includes Stripes the Cat.
