About this mod

adds a new animal building and several little ghosts to live in it

Requirements
Permissions and credits
So this is a bit of a side project, technically unrelated to my SNES mods. Much of the art in this mod is based upon sprites from Pac-Man Arrangement (1996), so it's SNES-contemporary and probably a similar bit depth and all that but this is an arcade game we're talkin about.
version 2 update: i have now technically used some graphics from an SNES game in this mod now. and sort of a DOS game. how about that.

Anyway.

Tired of fruit trees? How about Fruit Ghosts?  This mod adds a bunch of little colorful ghosts and a ghost house for them to live in. Each ghost will produce a tree fruit, with a chance to also produce a different fruit on occasion if they like you. Each ghost has different ones. One ghost is has a secret late-game condition to unlock. Most of the ghosts have been paired up with a fruit that goes with their color but not all of them. I agonized about the pairings and this is what I came up with, hopefully it isn't too confusing.

I had designed this to not involve food at all, but then I realized that means they'd never do a lot of their animations, so they do eat now. Their house does not have any spots for hay, currently. If you use cheats to auto feed, the hay will place, but it'll just be floating there.  They should eat grass fine.  I will probably update the house with a proper hay area but I just wanted to get this out for now.

As usual I did not really balance this much at all, so lemme know if it's obscenely powerful or weak etc.

Version 2:
Added baby ghosts / pregnancy
reworked the rates on rare fruits, hopefully now they will mostly produce their usual one and only sometimes the deluxe one
added a neon fence (couldn't get gate working, sorry)
added a few arcade cabinet decorations (spawn them in with cheat menu, or buy the furniture catalog. not in a store currently)
changes and improvements to the ghost house interior
including cool new hay/hopper graphics toggling thanks to help from fireredlily on discord!
thanks to a lot of discord members honestly, this update spiraled out of control a bit and fought me most of the way

Version 3:
Lots of new neon fences. Several colors. Most of them have a different colored gate from the main fence. Check optional files for ones that only use one color for both. To use gates, just slap a vanilla gate onto an existing neon fence and it should transform it.
Buy the recipes from Robin. Only buy the ones you want if you are concerned about crafting menu clutter.
Hopefully fixed up the ghost house symmetry. You will need to build a new one for the changes to take effect, probably.

Potential future features:
a treat (and meat?) item for animal husbandry
power pellets of some kind? that's a long shot though.
perhaps other pac-furniture, other ghosts, etc

Special thanks to TheRedStarfish and Hackswell from the discord for inspiration
