📋 About This Mod

COMPATIBLE WITH 1. 6

Pet Overhaul adds new, unique pets that can be purchased from Marnie! Instead of replacing vanilla sprites with a texture, this mod utilizes the new 1. 6 feature that adds additional pet breeds. Once you have full hearts with your starter pet, you can then visit Marnie to Adopt Pets and purchase a Pet License of your choosing!
