VAE - Better German Shepherd

Description
A tiny mod that makes the German Shepherd from Vanilla Animals Expanded more useful and realistic.

They were... well, really bad. For a dog that's one of the most common ones to be employed in police and military because of their loyalty and obedience, their behavior was plain nonsense, they've always went for the wild animals and ended up being severely injured.

Just like all the other dogs, they are no longer predators, so they won't engage in suicidal behavior.

Also, I've added them an ability to nuzzle. A bear can nuzzle, but a german shepherd can't? Come on. I've set it to 1 day on average, so it's still less often than the most other dogs. As a bonus, now they can be played with using Animals are fun.

Their hunger rate has also been reduced slightly, to keep them in line with the other dogs.

Oh I made a mistake, the modloader marks it as red, but it still works as intended. thanks :)

Does it *not* work in 1.5? It's a fairly simple tweak, so it should still work.

any chance we will get this updated? German shepherds need to be able to nuzzle

I've changed it to Vanilla Animals Expanded. I don't see it requiring cats&dogs anywhere else.

ok it is still showing it requires the cats and dogs module instead of the new all in one mod. can you please fix that as well?

And done. I've removed them from the predator list altogether, so they will behave like all the other dogs.

Yeah, it won't work. Will update.

Well the problem is that the vanilla expanded team made a new mod combining all the modules and the cats and dogs module as well as all the other modules are 1.3 only. So I'm not sure if this mod is looking for just a German shepherd in any mod or is specifically looking for one in the cats and dogs module. If it's the first one I think it would work, because there's no changes to the animals in the new mod. But if it's the second then this mod will not function without an update unfortunately.

I think it should work? Not playing RimWorld right now, but it's a very simple tweak, unless 1.4 broke everything it should be fine. Let me know and I'll update to include the 1.4 version.

1.4?
