A VERY NON INTRUSIVE MOD:
the whole mod is just an extra folder in your "game" folder and it does not
touch any original game files. so your game will not break at all.
You want to revert changes it's easy, check uninstallation.
The game will be 100% untouched except for the characters being replaced.
(be it whomever you chose or the one provided here)
Install Use vortex!
Or manually install by extracting the 7zip file to your base state of decay folder.
To Uninstall Use vortex again!
Or manually uninstall by simply deleting the characters folder under game in your base state of decay folder.
The mod adds a new folder to your game folder called characters, it was not there before. so you can safely delete it unless
you have other character mods you don't want to lose, in that case just look for game/characters/male/human/story_characters and delete
the ed_jones file than navigate to game/characters/male/zombie/fatzombie/basic and delete the files: skincustom2.mtl, bodycustom_d.dds and bodycustom_ddn.dds, and it is uninstalled.
It turns Ed Jones in to "Gardener Jonah!".
This Character has a brother they are the Jonah and Jones brothers!
You can find his brother Jonah here: Gardener Jones With lots of variations
You can play Ed Jones in storymode or breakdown
but you might have to unlock him in breakdown to play him there.
You can make anyone use this skin, just read the text that comes with the mod,
more details at the end of this page.
It comes in a lot of variations so you can choose the one you like best!

This mod is ideal i think for replacing Marcus and Ed Jones both at the same time
and start out a new game with alternative characters.
Do that by getting a version from this mod for Ed Jones
Than a version for Marcus Campbell in the "Gardener Jones" mod here: Gardener Jones With lots of variations
Or if you are feeling lazy you can get a pre-set version,
with both characters chosen and already replaced for you here: Jonah and Jones Brothers - The Ultimate Heroes
You may also substitute any other hero preferably male character(because of the voice) in the story mode most are playable in breakdown as well,
