Not sure how hardcore of a remake you'd be willing to do, but here are some ideas of mine:
1. Changing the underworld into a fertile Aberration themed area (Maybe with Ab variants of creatures/light pets). Maybe the way in could be a radiated zone?
2. Volcano island with Genesis Volcano assets and X Lava Creatures/Regular creatures with biome color spawns?
3. Snow biome with Genesis Arctic assets.
4. Ocean with Genesis Ocean assets.
5. One thing that always bugged me about the Centers rivers was the ocean corals/kelp in them, maybe changing them to whats in the Islands river would help it feel more natural?

Hope this could work out!

Not sure about spawns at this time, but seeing as there's demand I might do a Genesis/Ab revamp version. This version is to add a bit more verity and functionality.
As for the river kelp, unfortunately it is bound to the actual levels of the original map. I can change them, but then the mod would be 100s of mbs larger because I have to override the all original map levels with rivers/kelp. The Thatch mod is smaller because it's just the foliage level and doesn't include meshes from the actual terrain while the rivers/kelp levels do.

Thanks for the suggestions <3

Anytime! That's quite understandable. Maybe in the future a hardcore revamp of the Center could be done. Layout wise its a nice map but sadly its pretty dated; especially from an asset standpoint and it for sure needs some TLC.

I really like what you've done so far with all of your extension mods, and look forward to seeing what else you have planned for them. I'm not sure how feasible this request is... But is there anyway to fix the streams on The Center? They look horrible, aren't able to be drunk from or swam in, so that's my request/suggestion. Again, thank you for all you've done thus far.

I also would be very interested in additional aberration content to the Underground World of the Center. I actually recall that the developer of Valguero had interest in adding an entire cave to his map with a mod (since wildcard cut a lot of aberration content out of his map), so perhaps a full scale The Center expansion is possible. Maybe it'd be worth getting in contact with him!
