animal-population-changer

A tool that allows anyone to change the animal population on all the reserves in theHunter: Call of the Wild (COTW).

This tool can make all species a diamond, the appropriate species a Great one, or have a rare fur.

The following mods are possible with this tool:

1. Make an animal a Great One.
2. Make an animal a Diamond.
3. Make an animal have a rare fur.
4. Make a female animal a male.
5. Make a male a female.

The modded population files can be found in a mods folder in the same directory you are running the tool.

To download the latest releases of this tool, go to NexusMods where you can also post bugs and have a conversation with the COTW modding community.

Testing with game version: 2649775

Limitations:

• This tool was tested on Windows 11 with the game installed via Steam. It is smart enough to also look where Epic Games saves its files too. If your game files are saved somewhere else besides where Steam or Epic saves them, use the Configure Game Path button.
• The species that use the newer TruRACS trophy system may not become a diamond. This is an area where I am still doing research to figure out how exactly to manipulate.
• If you use the executables (EXE) files, your system may complain there is a virus. This is not true, but the pyinstaller package that builds the executable is often used by hackers, and so it is being flagged. To avoid this, simply install the tool from the wheel file or build it from source.
