📋 About This Mod
This mod includes improvements for Adults and Juvenile Giant Panda.
Head and body proportions have been adjusted for realism, fur and textures are more defined. Base coat colors have been adjusted to include the cream tones Pandas use to have, aswell as making the black colors less blueish.
Several whiskers have been added to the mouth and brows.
New variants are: brown and white coat, and a black and white coat that has brown hindquarters. All variants including the original albino now have improved color variations that reflect the variation they can have irl, with darker or more yellowish tones.
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 RedPandaReggie, Iben, Causticjay and Zha for supporting me to make this mod, and also thanks again to Rob for the showcase and UI pics.

For Planet Zoo players who want to spice up their panda exhibits with new color variants. If you're a builder or prefer gameplay overhauls, this is purely cosmetic and can be skipped.
