Familiars Race

Description
The Familiars mod lets you play as my own little creations - a race of fuzzy glow dudes made physical by magical forces beyond their understanding.
The sprites for this mod were made from scratch, so this race is decidedly shorter in stature and somewhat differently shaped than other races.
However, this species is fully compatible with others.

Features:
-Fully custom spritework built from the ground up
-Just a little bit short!
-Tons of colors and customization
-Cool energy weapons and armor (armor up to T4 but weapons go up to T6)
-You may find familiars as visitors in the outpost and as villagers!

Familiars should be compatible with other species mods and do not alter vanilla content. The only major difference in playing as a familiar (vs other races) is their relative shortness, which means that vanilla armors may not appear correctly on the character sprite. They come with goggles and invisible armor so you can keep your look without sacrificing stats.

As with other race mods, Familiars requires the use of a character creation UI expander. I recommend Kawa's Xbawks mod. You can run the game without the UI expander but you won't be able to choose to play as a familiar.

Still one of my favorite creatures to play as occasionally.

Hey, I think there's no Frackin' Universe BYOS patch for this race, is it alright if you made one because the background ship keeps appearing.

@DanteDMCry Yeah. I ran it a couple of times and didn't have issues with it as far as I know.

will they ever receive proper clothing? i'm kinda tired being stuck with survivalists pants as they seem to be the only clothing piece that kinda fits

There will never be a day when I want to play as something other than a glowy space fox.

Huh really I never had that happen. Sure it's being caused by this mod?

I think originally I had them sprinkled in some random locations but it never made sense to give em dedicated settlements. Changes to how the files generated terrain made those not work, and I realized it could cause unwanted interactions with other mods anyway.

anyone know if there are colonies/villages you can find on planets for these guys? id really like to see one but have yet to find one, and wasnt sure if they existed. ik it says visitors in the outpost, as well as villagers, but i wasnt sure if that meant they had their own settlements or not
