⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (3,355 endorsements) — this is a must-have for East Scarp fans.
- Adds a unique character with a niche passion (herpetology) that stands out from typical NPCs.
- Includes two pets that add charm and personality to the mod.
👎 Cons
- Requires East Scarp to be installed — not a standalone mod.
- No detailed feature list beyond the NPC and pets — you'll discover the rest in-game.
- May not appeal to players who prefer vanilla-style NPCs or don't use expansion mods.
