📋 About This Mod
Includes better models and textures for adults and juvenile FBB, changed its tone from a pale dark gray to a realistic dark black, improved the model giving it rounder ears, a fluffier neck and a less sad appearance. Golden Moon Bear was done from scratch without using Frontier's new variant, in fact it was done before Update 1. 12 added it to the game, but it has more vibrant colors and it's also more accurate to golden moon bears, instead of the desaturated look Frontier used on theirs. This mod requires ACSE.
Planet Zoo Plus recommended.
Important Note: The Formosan Black Bear currently has animation issues, this is absolutely not related to this mod, in fact, it has been reported several times that by default the FBB keeps its mouth open, and also the ears constantly snap without having fluid animations, again, this is a bug with the official bear and it cannot be fixed via mods, so unless Frontier fixes it, the Remaster will also have those issues.
UPDATE Jan 31st: Frontier fixed the open mouth glitch!
Special thanks to Leaf for the showcase pictures, and thanks to tigerdrake for supporting this remaster.
This mod enhances the Formosan Black Bear in Planet Zoo, improving its coloration, neck fur, and the Golden Moon Bear variant for a more realistic appearance. It's a visual overhaul for players who want more detailed bears.
