A simple mod that replaces John's amateur sketches with a more fitting version of Arthur's old diary

John learns to draw

🎨 **Make John's painting skills improve by leaps and bounds! **

Features

This mod revolutionizes the quality of John's sketches in his diary. I replaced all of John's diary textures, either overwriting Arthur's version or adding completely new artwork. However, I kept John’s handwriting intact!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
