📋 About This Mod

An example(and more details)...

Bloatfly, it alone has around 8+ variants per sub-species (Glowing, Colorful, etc).

Black Bloatfly

-3 Different "Body Types" (Fat, Skinny, Standard)

-Size Scaling from 0. 75 to 1. 25

-5 different possible Textures (more to come)

= 15 Possible Outcomes not including the "Scaling" for one of the 6 different BloatFly Sub-Species.

This means over 70 possible distinct Bloatfly possibilities, not accounting for scaling, for the 6 different Sub-Species

Vanilla Textures have not been replaced, but additional texture possibilities introduced from the mod authors credited below, adding to the possible variations you encounter.

FYI, it's worth noting if you have one of the Texture sets listed below as a replacer, you might want to uninstall it, otherwise you loose significantly on the variety, that better yet install one not added to this mod.

In addition to adding new possible Textures for every creature listed below, new models were added or unlocked, "Size" and Scaling options unlocked, which in the end makes every creature you run into a little different from the last (RNG God{s} willing!) for a truly Unique experience in the Commonwealth.
