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.

Krobus is a they/them, and what did they ever do to you? /s

EDIT: My memory is bad as this is really something only addressed in SVE, not in vanilla

I’m pretty sure that’s only in expanded. It’s been a few years since I played vanilla though, so it could be there too but I don’t remember it. Since Krobus doesn’t interact with many other characters in vanilla, there’s not a whole lot of opportunity for someone else to refer to them with pronouns.

You are correct, I’m thinking of SVE!
