📋 About This Mod

THIS MOD IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED

I am grateful for my time with Anima Nera, but I won't support this version anymore.

It was my first mod, and it taught me a great deal. However, there comes a point when it’s necessary to let go. Maintaining both Serana overhauls would be far too demanding, especially that Anima Nera has already reached version 4. 0 and to be honest, there is nothing more that I want to do with her.

I no longer have the desire to continue working on this design/concept, and I believe Evigheden is much more aligned with my current work on NPCs and with what I’m personally using in my own game now.

I know Nera still has its audience, and for that reason the mod will remain available. However, there will be no further updates, fixes, or support related to the mod. I encourage everyone to give Evigheden a try, as it is more updated, built with more modern assets.

Thank you to everyone who has downloaded the mod since 2021, left kind comments, and supported my work in any way.
