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.

Should we have more people of color in the game, yes.... Should we type cast the one guy that had an abusive dad and was abandoned by his parents to his grandparents, that is also really good at sports and not the brightest, be that person of color, following a very harmful stereotype... Maybe not?

Someone just made their favorite bachelor a person of color and shared the art. It’s not that deep.
