📋 About This Mod

All the credits for the tattoos goes to Kota Stoker, DomainWolf and Skyham.

First of all, I wanted to sincerely thank everyone who downloaded and endorsed the mod. It's really satisfying for a noob modder/improviser like me to see all these results for a mod that, in my opinion, was far from perfection. So after a long break that lasted months both from modding and from the game itself (because I was playing other games), I decided to return to the game and therefore also to this mod, and looking at the state it was, I wasn't satisfied at all. I thought that I could've done so much more to make it beautiful and convincing. Well, it's with immense pleasure that I inform you that I've failed!

The mod isn't as perfect as I wanted it to be (and probably it will never be), but hey, at least I've made some progress and am happy to share it with you ^^:

  • []Improved the general quality of all tattoos;
    • []Back tattoo closer to the Kota Stoker one;
      • []Belly tattoo changed into an heart cause you know "Shadowheart" ^^;
        • []Modified the chest tatto with a mine slightly improvisation;
          • []Expanded the legs tattoos;
            • []The tattoos wrists misalignment should be fixed, but still looks imperfect.

              Installation
