Installing Mods

Modding is not yet fully supported in Garden Paws. Installing mods incorrectly, or installing them to alter your game before support is officially implemented may corrupt your game folder or cause issues with your save file.'''

For mods not available through the Steam Workshop:

Installing
Windows: %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Bitten Toast Games\GardenPaws\Mods Mac: /Users/ /Library/Application Support/com.BittenToast.Gardenpaws/Mods There should now be a new "..\Bitten Toast Games\GardenPaws\Mods\Modname" folder with the mod's files inside.
 * 1) Close Garden Paws if it is running.
 * 2) Download the file for the mod you want to use.
 * 3) Navigate to the GP data folder:
 * 1) If there is no Mods folder in the main GardenPaws folder, create one.
 * 2) Unzip the archive file into GardenPaws\Mods, under a new folder with the mod's name.
 * 1) Delete the original zip file if you wish.
 * 2) Relaunch Garden Paws.

Uninstalling
Windows: %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Bitten Toast Games\GardenPaws\Mods Mac: /Users/ /Library/Application Support/com.BittenToast.Gardenpaws/Mods
 * 1) Close Garden Paws if it is running.
 * 2) Navigate to the Mods folder:
 * 1) Delete the folder belonging to the mod you want to remove.
 * 2) Relaunch Garden Paws.

If you are unsure about a specific mod for any reason, don't hesitate to ask for help or confirmation in the #modding-corner channel on the Bitten Toast Discord.

Using Custom Skins and Faces
An official Skin Editor is planned for the Steam Workshop. Until it is available, you can download and use a separate Skin Editor program, provided by the developers.

Once you have a custom skin or face you'd like to use: Windows: %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Bitten Toast Games\GardenPaws\Skins Mac: /Users/ /Library/Application Support/com.BittenToast.Gardenpaws/Skins You will need to create a new folder for each specific skin file, or it will not show up in game.
 * 1) Close Garden Paws if it is running.
 * 2) Navigate to the GP data folder:
 * 1) If there is no Skins folder in the main GardenPaws folder, create one.
 * 2) Create another new folder inside the Skins folder, with the name of your skin. Make sure it is a unique name that won't conflict with another skin.
 * 3) Place your .png skin file inside the named folder. The path to your new skin file should look something like this: "..\Bitten Toast Games\GardenPaws\Skins\SkinName\SkinName.png"
 * 1) Relaunch Garden Paws.

For custom faces, follow the same as above but with a "Faces" folder instead of "Skins".

The new Skin or Face should now show up in the Customize Character menus, with the following differences:
 * Your skin will show up on all animal tabs, regardless of what base it was intended for.
 * Custom skins will not have the same "face" thumbnail as official skins, but will show the full png file instead.
 * Since the file is local, other players will not be able to see your custom skin. It will only be visible to you.
