📋 About This Mod
Welcome to the Pam Narrative Overhaul!
You voted (awhile ago,) and now, finally, here it is!
Pam is a complicated person, who struggles with feelings about life, her daughter, and herself. Now, get to know Pam through 190+ lines of dialogue, for every day of the week of every season of every heart level!
In this Narrative Overhaul, I've designed Pam to have an engaging relationship with you if you are willing to see through her crass nature!
There is also special dialogue if you marry Penny.
