Catsquid's Mods!

[Catsquid]

Hello everyone! For a while now I've seen some people asking around for different colors of flower crowns, so I gave the one I made several recolors.
It now comes in 17 different colors, but feel free to request any additional recolors if you want another one!

Please let me know if you notice any errors! Renaming all of these files was kind of a hassle, so I wouldn't be surprised if I messed up somewhere, haha. Hope you all enjoy!

[Catsquid]

Hello everyone! I've been sitting on these mods for a while, and figured it was finally time to release them what with the demo coming out and all. Introducing the Accessory Crafting mod and the Tweaked Dens mod! (Downloads are in the first post.)

Accessory Crafting

Have you ever wanted an accessory to be in a different color, but hated how all the recolors cluttered your accessory list?



This mod helps solve that! The Accessory Crafting mod recolors 4 of the preexisting accessories into 12 different colors. (It's also compatible with modded accessories (provided the creator of the accessory makes it so), and I've made a version of my Flower Crown mod that is compatible!)

With this mod, each of your saves will only own the colors of the accessories that they're actually going to use— with some added gameplay, too!

Here's how to use the mod once it's installed:

SPOILER: Click to show

1. Pick an accessory you want. The mod comes with bows, collars, scarves, and sweaters in red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, purple, pink, brown, white, gray, and black.
For this example, I'm going to give my cat a light blue scarf.

2. Visit Ember in the appropriate season. Bows are sold in Spring, collars in Summer, scarves in Autumn, and sweaters in Winter.

3. Buy the appropriate blank clothing template and pattern. Each dye pattern allows you to dye your item one of three colors. They have to be split into 4 parts due to modding limitations, but you can tell which pattern will give you what by their icons and descriptions.
In my example, I'll be buying the Blank Scarf and Scarf Pattern 2.



4. Place the "Dye Vat" and the "Mortar and Pestle" crafting stations in your den. (Feel free to remove them once you've crafted your accessories!)



5. Interact with the Dye Vat and find the item you want to craft. Take note of how many dyes you will need. For me, I need 4 Light Blue Dye.



6. Interact with the Mortar and Pestle and find the recipe for the dye color you want. Pay attention to how many dyes each recipe creates!



7. Craft the dye, and then return to the Dye Vat to dye your item. You're done!

If you're wanting to craft flower crowns, the process is a little different:

SPOILER: Click to show

1. Pick which color you want. The crown comes in 18 different colors, many of which match the colors of pride flags!

2. Place the Dye Vat. You may also want to place the Mortar and Pestle, as a few recipes use dye to make up for the game's lack of yellow, dark blue, and gray flowers. (The Dye Vat may seem like a bizarre station for crafting a flower crown, and I agree; but I felt it was cleaner to put them here rather than create an additional station.)

3. Craft! Unlike with other accessories, the Flower Crown does not require you to buy any patterns/recipes. So, gather the appropriate number of resources, using the Mortar and Pestle to create dyes as necessary (described in the spoiler above), and craft your item!

If you have any feedback on this mod, please let me know! I understand it can seem a little complicated, and if you think of anything that would make it simpler, I'd be happy to hear it. Also, feel free to tell me if any of the recipes feel unbalanced. Thanks!

Tweaked Dens

This mod simply adds a little more perspective to the pre-existing colony structures.

Oh thank you so much for the den adjustments! It gives the buildings a bit more oomph in the vein of the first game's buildings and I appreciate it <3 I'll have to tab it for later when the full game is released~

[Indasa]

Ouhh the crafting system is a really cool idea! Also with the addition of buying recipes in Ember's shop! I'll definitely try that out

[Silverhart]

Oh, that crafting system is such a cool feature and a wonderful solution to that problem!

[Silverleaf]

I love both the crafting system for the flowers and the pride flowers

Hi everyone! This morning, I remembered that I once made the Forest Colony in Wildwood. I decided to quickly convert it into a layout so others can use it! It looks a bit barren when you start a new file, but I suppose that's true for all layouts. Unfortunately, I can't seem to set the default style of each NPC's den, so if you want them to all be bushes like the original Forest Colony you'll have to do that manually.

Enjoy! Download is in the first post.

[Skrillning]

Great job! I absolutely love the layout!

Scout NPC

Remember Scout?



In Cattails (2017), there was a romanceable cat named Scout who lived in the Forest Colony. They had a knack for hunting and a cheerful personality that made them one of many fan-favorites. Scout was not among the cast that returned to Cattails: Wildwood Story, but you can change that with this mod!



Scout is a romanceable NPC with unique events, tasks, mail, and over 200 lines of dialogue!

Recruit them and watch them settle into your colony and make friends. Maybe they'll even make something... more than a friend?

This mod also has Spanish and German translations! The quality of these translations are questionable, as they were done in Google Translate, but I hope it will nevertheless make my mod more accessible to the non-English community.

This mod has been in the works for a long time, and I'm so excited to finally publish it. I may go back and revisit some of the dialogue (and maybe even the portraits) at a later date, but for now, I'm happy with it. Of course, if you have any feedback or bug reports, even as minor misspellings or typos, please do not hesitate to let me know! However, please update the mod before reporting, as some errors may have already been fixed. A full changelog is available on Nexus.

This mod is currently at v1.2, released January 20th, 2024.

Make sure your game is updated to v1.21! If it isn't, parts of this mod may break!

Also: I've started cross-posting my mods to Cattails' Nexus page! I encourage you all to check it out, as there are some neat mods there that may not be posted anywhere else.

That looks amazing! 200 lines of dialog? You really outdid yourself with this! I'll have to give it a download when I have the chance.

[Silverhart]

OooOo! This is awesome! Can't wait to add Scout to my colony!

[tax]

scout is adorable, the art is great! you outdid yourself with everything on them!!

[Skrillning]

Scout is fantastic and this mod is too. Amazing job!

[tax]

would it be alright to use the mod of scout as a base for my own character mods? (i'd change everything obvs, im just not to experienced with modding!)

[Catsquid]

You're free to reference the files as much as you'd like! However, if you're looking for template mods/help with modding, I would recommend checking out Silverhart's modding guide. It has an NPC template, as well as in-depth instructions about how to create an NPC mod.
