Big thanks to Monsoon for tweaking the ZT3 elephant normals so I could use them on the remaster! Also credit to Saito for making the thumbnail screenshot, it looks gorgeous!
• This mod updates the looks of the existing African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta africana). Changes include more marked wrinkes on the head and the body, a brownish body instead of dark grey, and small anatomy tweaks so the elephants look more accurate!
• The remaster changes the look of the male and female, the juvenile is the same.
• New UI images, including zoopedia and thumbnails.
This mod requires ACSE to work. Make sure you have it installed beforehand!
To install this mod, simply extract the zip and place the extracted folder in the ovldata folder of the game. Unlike other mods, this remaster doesn't require replacing the original files to work and will apply by just placing it in the ovldata folder!
Enjoy the mod. Cheers!
