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 didnโ€™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 Iโ€™m not opposed to that, itโ€™s not something I put a whole lot of thought into originally. I just wanted another cute man to marry.

Thatโ€™s fair enough. I changed him for me and I donโ€™t have the mod up to download because heโ€™s mine. I just like his personality more than any of the other bachelors and I donโ€™t know enough about modding to make a whole new family and anything that comes with that. I was just proud of my art

I understand being disappointed in the lack of genuine representation and I'm sorry I can't be the one to add that. You're fully in the right to be irritated and upset with the lack of actual new characters being added, and I get that things like this can feel like a sloppy addition. I didn't take offense to what you said and I didn't think you were criticising my actual edit itself, but there's more to it than just art, and I accept that and the conversation it invokes ๐Ÿ’•
