Goodbye butterfly

Designed for people who are afraid of butterflies. Retexture the butterflies into something different or remove them entirely. The texture of the butterfly hut is also affected; the butterflies can be preserved by toggling the option.

Bye Bye Butterfly

🦋 Why do you need this mod?

I made this mod for a friend who suffers from butterfly phobia. I originally thought, "It shouldn't be difficult to just retexture the existing butterflies, right?" But then I realized, "Oops, we have an item that spawns butterflies - the Butterfly House", so this furniture item also got retextured.

⚙️Technical Notes

If you have other mods installed that modify animals (such as Elle's Town Animals), you may need to adjust the loading priority. The mod is currently set to lazy loading (Late +100), ensuring changes are applied correctly.

**Warm Tips**: The mod will not change the behavior of the particles, so the re-texturing effect will maintain the original movement of the butterfly (for example, the petal option will move faster than ordinary petals). In multiplayer games, butterflies can still be seen by players who do not have this mod installed.
