📋 About This Mod
This mod adds Alpacas as barn animals and alpaca wool and alpaca yarn as the products. Alpacas need a deluxe barn and can be bought from Marnie. You can use yarn to make candles if you use my Bees Plus mod. There's two new quests and hats.
Other mods that add alpacas are compatible.
Quest Unlocking conditions and rewards:
Emily's quest is unlocked day after you have shipped Alpaca Wool. She gifts you with a Chullo hat.
Evelyn's quest is unlocked day after you have shipped Alpaca Yarn. She gifts you with an Alpaca beanie.
The extremely cute alpaca sprites are made by Aerithay / MaggieW (I just slightly edited the animation and shadows) and you can find the original mod here and their amazing art portfolio here: https://margaretwillemsen.weebly.com/ The wool and yarn sprites are made by me.
The turkeys in the picture are from Eemie's Animals for BFAV and the donkeys are my other mod.
