This mod is still a work in progress, currently only containing three species, and will focus on adding more content time come.

Features
The mod, in version 1.0, currently only contains these animal cultures:
- Red Pandas
- Red Foxes
- Lions
Each culture has its own culture specific clothing and buildings, all of which are unchanged vanilla and DLC items (look in prerequisites for installing mod!). Each animal species is able to wear any other culture clothes without any trouble, though headwear is restricted.
