📋 About This Mod
I've linked other creators and guides and all the tools you will need directly in the PDF and have also included some Icon Integration files that you can extract into Weeviljester's coding template so you have everything you need.
I hope you all find this helpful. An advanced edition covering body & race conversions, extra materials, eyelash editing, etc. will be coming out soon (soon?) as well!
Thank you to all my supporters and friends!
