A Stray mod that lets you play as Garfield? I’m in

A simple mod for a simple premise

A Stray Garfield mod? I mean, I don’t think I’ve been sold on something so quickly in 2022 as when I first eyed this clever creation.

When you think about it, it’s something that almost should have been in the game already as a parody/unlock skin. But modder crubino managed to just say what we were all thinking, and has allowed everyone to play as Garfield in the fur with a mod that’s fairly quick to install and get working.

I’ve said it before many times as an action game fan, but skins/outfits are such an easy way to get me to replay something; especially with added mechanics and VFX. While the Garfield mod doesn’t have that yet (it’s currently just a skin), that’s the beauty of the modding community: someone could theoretically add quips/sound effects into the mix that are relevant to what’s happening on screen. I’d play a “Quest for Odie” mod.

Stray Garfield mod download and instructions

To install it, it’s as easy as heading to this page from creator crubino, and extracting it into Stray/Hk_project/Content/Paks. That’s it!

There are no restrictions on the mod, nor are there any known conflicts or extra requirements.
