📋 About This Mod

Harvey Refined

Updated for SDV ver 1. 4 and now compatible with CP.

Harvey is the next target for sprite improvement!!

He's always looked monstrous and weird so I decided to beautify him.

I edited his hair to be more accurate and also went with another approach to glasses. It worked out nicely.

His jacket/coat has also been shortened and the coat tails removed (those suit Elliott more).

2/14/17: Also uploaded an optional version with a mustache as requested.
