• This mod updates the looks of the existing Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). Changing the antlers of the male to be more caribou-like, based on Porcupine and Barren-ground caribou antlers, females have now smaller and thinner antlers and babies are more slim. All get better textures, specially the babies.
• 4 brand new variants: light winter coat, dark summer coat, dappled piebald and piebald.
• The remaster changes the look of male, female and juvenile.
• New UI images for the zoopedia.
• English
• Spanish
• German (thanks to Dacki1990)
• Dutch (thanks to zoomaster1994)
• Polish (thanks to evil)
• French (thanks to Tora)
This mod requires ACSE to work. Make sure you have it installed beforehand! Also reminder that the reindeer is exclusive to the Arctic Pack, which is required.
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!
