• This mod updates the looks of the existing Bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus). Many changes were applied because we all know Frontier's bongo is sinfully terrible.

• 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!

IMPORTANT: Before reporting any crashes or issues, try redownloading the mod and make sure it is indeed this mod what is causing the issue and not something else. If you are definitely sure then report the bug.

Enjoy the mod. Cheers!
