📋 About This Mod
This mod includes improvements for Adult and Juvenile Red Fox. Model has been tweaked to make the eyes less stylised and textures have been changed on certain areas of the face for a more realistic approach.
1 New variant has been added, consisting of a grayish yellow fur tone with black and grey markings, a look similar to the Iberian populations of red fox.
A marking set has been added to include the unique "Platinum" markings, these are not the same as piebald, as they can appear randomly on any individual regardless of genetics and don't use a separate slot (no unique icon or visual description), due to the nature of markings in PZ there's a 50% chance of getting them no matter the genetic description or variation. If you're not interested in these markings there's an alternative file without them.
Piebald has been altered to change one of the 3 facial marking options into a "Georgian White" inspired look.
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 Mike, robustus and random goat for supporting me to make this mod, and also thanks to robustus again for the showcase and zoopedia pics.
