Skyrim<\/strong> mods have officially peaked. You can now pet, play fetch with, and adopt a number of dogs in the Bethesda RPG game. No, I\u2019m not joking, this new Skyrim mod adds a slew of features relating to a Dragonborn\u2019s best friend, making Skyrim the perfect version of itself after a measly 12 years of trying. These features better be in the next game when the Elder Scrolls 6 release date finally comes around.<\/p>\n

Fans of PS2 classic Dog\u2019s Life rejoice, because this Skyrim mod has finally embraced a universal truth: dogs are great and we want to pet them. Modder DarkFox127 has released \u201cA Dog\u2019s Life,\u201d and it turns the Tamriel terriers into worthwhile companions.<\/p>\n

For starters, a number of breeders and strays have been placed around the world of Skyrim, so you can either buy one or feed it and give it pets until it decides to follow you. Like with regular companions in Skyrim you can trade items with your pooch or send it home, but you can also give them a unique name if you want to bring your own best friend into the Bethesda game.<\/p>\n

All of these good boys and girls look absolutely adorable, and I\u2019ve never struggled to choose between feature images for an article so much in my life.<\/p>\n

Now we get to the most essential features of the Skyrim mod though, and the reason you need to download DarkFox\u2019s creation instantly: you can pet and play fetch with your dog. If this is all A Dog\u2019s Life was, it\u2019d still be an essential download and I\u2018d probably still be telling you about it, but there\u2019s even more to it.<\/p>\n

You can craft a number of items for your dog to show how much you care, including a ball, a harness, and an adorable little backpack they can wear while accompanying you out on adventures too. There\u2019s even a little bed you can make for your canine to sleep in, and my heart just can\u2019t take it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all sunshine and roses though, as you have the extra option to enable the needs feature, which requires you to feed and keep your dog happy, otherwise risking them running away or even dying. Time to throw out the hardcore Skyrim run, and instead attempt to keep your dog alive throughout the entire story. Just be prepared to lose them in devastating circumstances, and I\u2019d wager it\u2019ll feel worse than losing a squadmate in XCOM.<\/p>\n
