‘Moody cat journey sport’ ought to have been a style for many years already, however in some way Stray’s housecat protagonist feels novel, and gamers already need extra cat choices. Modders have answered that decision, turning Stray’s orange tabby into every kind of other cats: black cats, grey cats, calico cats, lasagna cats. Sure, now you can play Stray as Garfield.
Modder Chris Rubino is answerable for placing the Jim Davis cartoon cat into Stray with the “Garfield – Cartoon Version” mod, which might be downloaded at NexusMods (opens in new tab).
Mod Garfield appears considerably just like the 3D animated film model of Garfield, but it surely’s not an ideal resemblance, and the film model itself wasn’t an incredible tackle Garfield’s basic cartoon look (two orange spheres with legs and arms). It is sufficient to be recognizable as Garfield, although. A special Garfield mod (opens in new tab) simply places a regular-looking striped orange cat into the sport, which does not lower it for me.
Granted, I am undecided why you’d need to play Stray as a convincing Garfield. He is beloved for each actual and ironic causes, however imagining that your cat protagonist has opinions about Mondays, spiders, and toilet scales would in all probability deflate Stray’s cyberpunk stress a bit.
I legitimately liked Garfield rising up and nonetheless do, and never even sarcastically. Proof: I personal and not too long ago wore a Garfield sweater (like, a pair days in the past, on a date), and Garfield follows me on Twitter, I suppose as a result of the Garfield social media supervisor sensed that sooner or later I’d need to point out it as a approach to set up my Garfield cred. And even I do not need to play Stray as Garfield.
I will be damned if I do not respect Rubino for doing what needed to be accomplished, although. If a Garfield mod for Stray did not exist, it would be cheap to marvel in case you’d slid right into a parallel dimension the place issues are simply barely completely different. Say, a universe the place Garfield is not web irony royalty and I believed that canines are higher than cats. We should always all be glad about the signal of timeline continuity.
In the event you like the concept of modifying Stray’s cat, however not into one which hates Nermal, there are a bunch of regular cat mods for Stray on Nexus (opens in new tab), too.
