📋 About This Mod

For MWSE alternative, check out Pet the Damn Scrib by Merlord.

You know the rules and so do I.

Why use it instead of REVOLUTION edition?

Because it's conflict-prune, can be installed at any time, has new animations, supports petting diseased scribs and has integrations with modded scribs. Now that's a REVOLUTION if I ever seen one.
