📋 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.

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might not be compatible with the latest game versions.
- Only affects Harvey's sprite, so if you don't marry him or interact often, you'll barely see it.
