Recommended Mods
QuoteIMPORTANT
Pick ONE Sex Framework mod, as I am not sure if they are compatible with each other.

Optional Mods

ORIGINAL THREAD
IMPORTANT NOTES
- This mod is compatible with Build 42 ONLY
- Being Female does not have ANY REQUIRED mod. However this mod REQUIRES some other mod to act as a sex framework (see recommended mods)
-
Liquids of this mod uses the Liquid system of build 42
- This means you can mix and match Milk & Semen and also use bottles, bowls, buckets (and more) to express / pump milk or push semen
