For this mod, when you tame a spider, it goes from being average-sized to being a tiny little thing. A spiderling! Oh, come on- It's inarguably adorable. For any large animal (and not just the spiders, I find) it's logical that, whence tamed, they become smaller...for easy pocketing. I love that!

But what if you added a configuration setting that let us choose whether or not they shifted into said size?

I mean, I love having a little rambunctious puppy to keep me company- but I'd love even more if it looked like the warhound I first battled for its companionship. (Again, I'm not saying this mod isn't awesome- but it would really make it even more amazing.) I made a little list to help fully explore my idea. (Most of it doesn't pertain to the smaller creatures, like rabbits, and that sort, but the afore-mentioned larger animals. But maybe they could have some of the Smallified perks, too.)

=======================================

PROS OF A (LARGE) ORIGINAL-SIZED PET:

- An epic-looking companion
- Easily spotted (depending on location)
- A bit more health than a smallified pet (Suggestion)
- A bit more attack-power (if any) than a smallified pet (Suggestion)

CONS OF A (LARGE) ORIGINAL-SIZED PET:

- Hard to distinguish between its wild counterparts
- A faster consumption-of-food rate (Suggestion)
- Can't go in your pocket (Suggestion)
- Untweaked walking/running speed (Suggestion)

____________________________________________

PROS OF A (LARGE) SMALLIFIED PET:

- Can go in your pocket
- Rather adorable
- A more hasty walking/running speed (Suggestion)
- A slower consuption rate (Suggestion)

CONS OF A (LARGE) SMALLIFIED PET:

- Not AS epic as its wild counterparts (Just comparing a puppy to a warhound again XD)
- Not as much health (Suggestion)
- Not as much (if any) attack-power (Suggestion)
- A bit harder to spot on-screen (depending on location)

========================================
As you can see, there would be downsides and upsides to /both/. It all depends whether or not one would enable-or disable- the 'Stay Original Size' configuration!

All in all, I'd be estatic if you considered making this a real thing. Your mod is already superbly excellent...but I think this suggestion would make it a whole lot more so.
