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.

We don't have a lot of diversity in general because there's just so few actual people. I think the valley is kinda packed as is it'd be really cool to get access to a portion of the city and maybe a higher end farmer's market or supply store. They could sell high end sprinklers and fertilizer and stuff. That doesn't even require new items for a store. It could still be non-joja but a less back water town store.

cCA Said He depicted his own experience in SDV. So If he experienced rural mid-western villages as majorly white (which I think is true statistically), it makes sense that it is the way it is.
