Version 4.0.0

Supplement: Serum production! Legendary enemies have a chance to drop Mutated Growths, and after obtaining Class Freak, they can be used to create mutations by recovering from a certain number of unique mutations.

NEW: New mutations! Goat legs, gorilla arms, silver tongues and vicious circles.

New: Custom legendary effects related to mutations, Mutants and Purists.

New: Dialogue reactions for mutated players. Actors will comment on how strange or worrying you look when mutated.

New: Automatic support for ghoul transformation, radiation mutation rate adjusted to match human level.

NEW: Customizable eye color options after gaining Adrenal Reaction or Eagle Eyes.

Changed: Every mutation has been rebalanced to better fit Fallout 4 balance.

Changed: Each mutant serum now has a unique colored rim light effect.

Changed: Genetic starch is now obtained through mutant growth rather than at a preset location.

Removed: Removed essence from merchants. Serum can now only be obtained through crafting and cannot be bought or sold.

NOTE: There are a lot of other changes, but I've been working on this for months and can't think of every one of them.

Added: If you have the mod installed, soft support for the immersive animation framework is automatically provided.

New: Mutant Serum now spawns from merchants selling rare potions.

Changed: Rebalanced all mutations to fit Fallout 4's scaling and vanilla perks, rather than aligning with Fallout 76's 1:1. Mutation changes are listed in the mod's description.

Changes include (but are not limited to):
