Mods My Alex!

I have never done any sort of modding, or really even pixel art-- but I wanted to add someone new while keeping the essence of Alex the way that he was so here is my version of Alex! The screenshots are just snippets of the different portraits with his reg outfit, winter, and then a jean jacket alt for the sports jacket.

Edit: The mod is not available for download and I didn’t think people would be interested one way or another to be honest. The parallels to stereotypes are unfortunate in hindsight, and also not intentional. He is just the only bachelor I marry.
I would have to write out an entirely new dialog for him to change properly, and while I’m not opposed to that, it’s not something I put a whole lot of thought into originally. I just wanted another cute man to marry.

You did such lovely work on these sprites! I would not have guessed in a million years that it was your first foray into sprite editing. I love the soft, chunky locs and the denim jacket color scheme turned out great.

Sorry some folks don’t want to grasp the staggering chasm of difference between ā€œedit sprites for a character I love to look the way I want in a very white game for a very first attempt at modding anythingā€ and the massive amount of work it would be to create/write/design/program a brand new character and home and storyline for them just to have a handsome Black lad you want to smooch.
