Added an alternative version of the Kotiks origin to the description. It's a rumor that's been floating around the galaxy about them. It can be either true or fiction.

@TurtleShroom
It's sad. But there's nothing I can do about it anyway. Using Alien Race Mod is not an option for me, the style of the images is also already established. I can offer you an alternative version of the origin of these creatures.

"The official version says that the Kotiks are humans who were subjected to sinister experiments in an attempt to breed cheap, versatile soldiers. The genes of domestic cats were used extensively for this purpose. Cats were ideal for the experiments: born predators, agile, sharp, bloodthirsty, quick to breed and grow. And there were plenty of them, so there would be no shortage of genetic material.
But the truth is far worse. In fact, the experiments were conducted on cats that had been implanted with human genes! Their appearance and behavior is linked to this. Kotiks hide their origins because they already have a hard time living in a xenophobic world".

I completely and totally agree with that view. Talking housecats are better than Furries and Kekomimis, hands down!

That's also the problem to me , in that they are so divorced from men that it breaks immersion to call talking housecats "Xeno-Humans".

@TurtleShroom
Yes, I understand. The reason for this appearance is very simple - it's prettier (in my opinion) than the obvious human-cat hybrids. I just never liked the concept of Furries - humans with some of the traits of animals (ears, tail, whiskers, but otherwise with a regular body). The style I'm using now seemed to be the best, most emotional. It's just my personal taste)))) But believe me, by my design, these are still people, even if they look a lot like straight-haired cats.

That's a fair argument. However, based on your PICTURES, they appeared to be housecats , not anthropomorphic Furries. That's why I found it odd for them to be Xeno-Humans.

@TurtleShroom
The reason is the lore of the game's world. According to what the developer wrote, no other intelligent species were found in the mastered universe by the year 5000 (or they were all exterminated.). Only humans. That said, it is also said that many genetic variations of humans have formed over time (this was written before Biotech even existed). Artificially created "cat-humans" fit perfectly into this concept. Using the Alien Race Mod, on the other hand, would just break the immersion. We didn't have an alternative to Alien Race Mod until the last DLC was released, but now we do. And in my opinion, Biotech is better (much better). Also, I really don't see a fundamental difference between the xenotypes of "cat-humans" and "pig-humans" from the DLS. They're people who look like cats. But they are, without a doubt, humans. They walk on two legs, use hands (with claws, yes, but also with quite functional fingers), speak. It's a xenotype, not a separate race.

Why are these cats a Xenotype and not a Humanoid Alien Race Mod species? Xenotypes are supposed to be men at the end of the day, and breed accordingly, but these are just sapient cats. (Mind you, sapient cats that actually look like real housecats are based , but it's a bit immersion breaking to call them Xeno-Humans.)

oh and youre mods are great

i am not a cat person but i love this alot. :,)

@Ghost
Thank you! I added screenshots following your advice.

i would suggest uploading an actual screenshot of the xenotype and not just like 5,000 ai pics

I'm definitely gonna name the first one Bobby, so we can live in his world.
