📋 About This Mod

Bugs: None caused by this patch itself. However some caveats:
-
[]Animal Essence doesn't have race icons since Patch 7 due to (I believe) the depreciation of Improved UI Assets.
[]Further missing icons on some of the customisation options.
[]As always, until someone makes earless head sculpts - Your Tav will have super hearing. Recommended to pick a head without elf ears then pick some hairstyles that hide them better.
