📋 About This Mod

This mod gives more contrasted colors to gorilla, including a darker face and overall reducing the light grey look that the original has. Requires ACSE to work, includes new UI only for base coat. This mod does not change the albino texture (no need), and also doesn't change Female or juvenile models. Male model has been altered to fix a slight mouth glitch, nothing else as it was already realistic.

It's recommended to use the Planet Zoo Plus mod for a better experience.

Special thanks to sum for supporting me so I could make this mod, thanks robustus for the in game pics and also Hexabit for the remaster code.

Installation

To install this remaster extract and place the folder in ovldata like a New Species mod, no file replacement needed! Requires ACSE.
