Here's my guidance to EW for making future G1's ... And please when you do Elk don't make the same mistakes you made with Mule Deer ....
For non horned or antlered animals the Fantasy furs are ok because there is really nothing else to make them look different ...
But for Horned and Antlered animals and especially those with antlers just stick with the common or uncommon skins, you can also add in some of the rare skins as well ......
You should be able to get at least 6 to 8 fur variations form the skins already in the game.... and keep the racs massive but stick to typical and non typical variations ....
But for the Love of the game stay away from the abnormalities .... They just look butt ugly and nasty ... You only have to make 6 or 8 antler variations there is no need to get into the genetic abnormalities or sick animals ...
Where I come from we don't call those Great Ones ... we call those Culls and we kill them to get them out of the herd not to make a trophy out of them ....
