Fixed a few minor issues and updated the docs, and uploaded both modiomod versions to mod.io. they will be available once they are signed.     modiomod-tools-1.4.7.zip modiomod-r28.zip modiomod-r29.zip

A bunch of videos on the topic

So, I have a github repo for the mod. https://github.com/Jeff-web-sketch/Boats If anybody wants to help, I can add you as a collaborator, or if you just want to test and report any bugs or things, that's fine too

Some findings.  

I totally agree with you, and yes, the idea is for it to be a mod. I think I got a little carried away when talking about adding the context of family, upbringing, and so on. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make a mod, but I'm sure I can learn to create one. I posted that in case someone with modding knowledge might randomly like the idea. It's just that since Black and White, no one else wanted to replicate the mechanic.
