About This File
Sexbound Reborn
Sexbound Reborn is a fork of the original Sexbound Mod created by Locuturus and Co. It takes off where the old mod was left over a year ago, fixing many flaws and adding many more features. The focus of Sexbound Reborn is set onto immersion and pseudo-realism, as well as pulling Sexbound out of it's indecisive part-API-part-mod state and making it a proper standalone mod to enjoy.
Installation & Usage
Sexbound Reborn comes in two versions - the pak-ed version and the source version. The pak-ed version is a compressed, minified version of the mod that sacrifices modability and readability in order to save space and make the mod load faster. This is the version suitable for most users. In order to retain configuration options even with the pak-ed version, the zip also includes a second "mod" which solely consists of the config files for easy access. The source version of the mod contains all the source files in raw state and is most suitable for modders trying to understand the inner workings of Sexbound Reborn, aswell as maybe write their own addons.
⁉️ Download and install only one file from the Downloads Archive: Paked or Source.
⁉️ Sexbound Reborn is basically a new Sexbound update. Do NOT try to use Original Sexbound and Sexbound Reborn at the same time!
In addition to the two versions of the main mod, the download section might also contain patches for other mods. These patches are installed like any other mod and might be necessary if you want to use the additional mods the patches are for with Sexbound Reborn. See the "Compatible Mods" section for up-to-date information.
⁉️ Only install the patch for a mod if you are using the mod the patch is for too, otherwise your game might crash.
Detailed installation, usage and troubleshooting instructions can be found in the wiki.

Changelog & Roadmap
Sexbound Reborn changes many features compared to original Sexbound, and many more will come. The detailed changelog is very long, but major changes include a greatly revamped pregnancy system, proper actor and position management (i.e. working three+-actors), modular body traits (i.e. properly working sub-genders) and many changes that offer more possibilities to addon creators.
Version 1.1 further focussed on pregnancies, adding many long wished for features like proper kids, custom dialog for families, multi-pregnancies (but as a good feature), color genetics and many options for modders to add even more variety.
Version 1.2 reworked the old Sextalk system. It's now much more variable and way easier to understand and edit. It also added and restructured elements on the animated actor, and introduced player arousal mechanics.
The current changes of any new version can be found at the bottom or in the GitHub Release notes. The full, detailed changelog is always included in the mod files for anyone interested.
Future development plans can also be followed in the wiki.

Support
Sexbound Reborn is a fully free to use mod just like its predecessor. However, a lot of time and effort went into this and continues to be put into this project by mainly a single person that isn't funded via Patreon. If you find my work helpful and want to support me in continuing to make Sexbound a better experience, consider buying me a coffee and making a catgirl happy.
