📋 About This Mod
This mod includes improvements for Male, Female and Juvenile Babirusa, model improvements include less fat, thinner snout less stylized eyes and a longer tail.
Female tusks are now correctly placed inside the mouth instead of outside, sadly I couldn't make it so the tusk tears the skin from the inside.
Base texture has been changed from the overly pink one to a more greyish brown, which is more common.
2 New variants have been added: Depigmented skin (representing the original intended look with a few changes for realism), and Dark grey.
This mod requires ACSE to work, it includes UI.
It's recommended to use the Planet Zoo Plus mod for a better experience.
Special thanks to Iben for supporting this mod, and also thanks to robustus for the showcase and zoopedia pics.
