With the new goats and deer, the much older sheep model was left looking outdated.
I have absolutely no doubt a new one (and probably more species!) are coming, or maybe someday Tenthartichect will release an outstanding pack of sheep species, but until then here is my attempt at an update.
However I made this mod for myself and out of personal preference I based the model and textures on mouflon and soay sheep, the originator species and a very primitive breed.
I have no interest in changing them to match bighorns, but my mod is open permission so anyone is free to use/edit these files and publish their changes in a mod if they want.
For the sake of compatibility this is only a shape/texture mod and doesn't touch the main sheep jsons. This means their behaviors and animation variety is unchanged but it will be very compatible with anything else that edits sheep as long as it doesn't edit their appearance.
Since I didn't want to patch/edit the behavior jsons to include any new v1.19+ animations like the goats have, their AI is noticably more basic; they are still the old sheep in everything but appearance.

This is such a great mod, but it needs a update. The textures don't seem to work on newest version sadly.
Love this mod. Hasn't broken anything, but I got an odd error, figured putting it out there just in case was the better choice:

Love this mod thank you for making it I was always frustrated that there's so much detail and variety of goats but just one old sheep model
would love to see this get compat w/ Wilderlands Ethology someday.
Just a heads up, there's a slight conflict with Primitive Survival. It adds a pelt bighorn rug and the texture gets messd up when these two mods are used together.
CUUUUTE! Will be checking this out with the butchery mod later, If I don't edit this it means it's working and that I am currently "harvesting" XD
edit: okay so when hanging the sheep on the skinning hook the textures get mixed up, at least they're not invisible so still very playable and then they revert to the old model when fully skinned
fantastic mod! thank you so much for making this, i've been very much thinking the same thing lately.
I can appreciate this mod is trying to bring the sheep to be more inline with the rest of the newer animal moddels
however I find those blocky sheep and pigs so cute in that MC kinda endeering way
I hope the devs don't update them and just let everyone choose between the cute old block sheep and these more updated higher fidelity models
these would be some fantastic models if they ever made domesticated whool harvestable sheep though
wow nice!
These are amazing!
<3
They're beautiful! I had been hoping someone might take on this project! The current sheep do look a little out of place compared to the more detailed goats; I'm sure you're right about an update being on the way, but I really like that you went with a more mouflon-like look! Thank you for sharing! <3
These look incredible! Fantastic work.
Maltiez Thank you, fortunately it was a misnaming issue, so I was able to get it patched quickly and hopefully it works now.
Hydromancerx Thank you! These do replace the existing sheep and sorry, I'm not really interested in making them a stand-alone creature right now. It would be very straight-forward to do though if someone else wants to, yourself included.
Maybe I'll be more into the idea in a few days break or if there are more people who want it.
It seems lamb does not have proper death animation
Theese are great! I have been wishing for a moulflon. Do these replace the base sheep? If so could you make a pack that has them as a seperate animal? I would love to have them both.
Wow! Fantastic work! 🙂
