Lovers Species Mod

A new portrait mod that does something a little... different. The Lovers are a race of shapeshifting monsters that just want to get along with other species, so they try to copy them. Only, they don't get it quite right! The Lovers have a phenotype for (almost) every vanilla race in the game all subtly twisted or modified slightly, but with a uniformity of style. Your leaders, scientists, and pops can be almost any of them, so expect your populations to be incredibly diverse looking!

This mod adds:
- The Lovers Species, encompasing animated sprites for almost every vanilla species in the game. Where sexual dimorphism was present, that's reflected here too! No clothes, because who needs clothes when you're shapeshifters!
- A pre-genned species!
- A namelist for them!
- A custom cityscape for them!
- That's it!

TO DO:
- I'm not actually sold on them being red - a dark moss green might look cool too, though obviously there's dozens and dozens of pictures to edit. I'll think about it!
- I want to hook them up with the Prethoryn Swarm ships, if I can.
- Custom traits to really amp up their annoyance. They want to spread and integrate, but they're just so unpleasant to be around.
