- []Textures size: same as vanilla 2024/2024 px
[
]Head: new brushed black hair (no more hand-drawed blond dreadlocks), new teeth, subtle scars and wounds[]Skin: new skin texture with much more details, sublte scars and wounds, creepier colors.
[]Ragged dress: new texture with improved fiber details, added more details and depth to the ropes, subtle blood splatters.

Night Mother LE
ps: I have not tested but I believe my own night mother texture is incompatible but the coffin texture should be for an even better result
