Spring Season 2.0

Spring Season 2.0 is the second and enhanced version of the spring modification Spring Season, which quickly gained recognition among players.

A multitude of changes have been made to accurately depict this season: trees bloom and delight with vibrant colors, forest and village landscapes have significantly transformed thanks to new textures, the appearance of grass has been altered, and many more people will be seen on the streets (some even relaxing by campfires).

Background sounds of birds singing and nature have been implemented, with both daytime and nighttime options available. In rainy weather, people carry umbrellas, and when venturing into nature, one can light a campfire and set up a tent (where saves can be made); a small house can be purchased near the town of Angel Pine, which generates income (it is supposedly rented out to tourists and hunters).

Many aspects of the first version have been significantly refined and improved in the second. Hunting wolves has become even more interesting, as Spring Season 2.0 introduces a new breed of these predators, along with new locations where they reside. As before, wolves have a whole range of unique sounds — at night in the forest, their haunting howls can be heard, and when a predator runs towards you, a fierce growl emanates from its mouth. Wolves are placed on the map considering the type of terrain and natural living conditions.

Another important innovation is the hunters, who will make the forest even livelier. They roam the woods with rifles, sometimes accompanied by a dog. Upon spotting a wolf, the hunters begin shooting. They are quite friendly towards Carl, but they won't hesitate to defend themselves — a well-aimed shot could take you down. All scenarios are accounted for, and encounters between hunters and wolves can end in various ways, although players can assist hunters in dealing with the beast. Traditionally, hunters and dogs (like wolves) do not replace anyone but are added to the game as entirely new models.

Another feature introduced in the second version is chickens. Such a small detail as chickens running around the village or a rooster that crows "cock-a-doodle-doo" at certain times makes the rural experience significantly more interesting, adding something familiar and homely without disrupting the atmosphere of an American state. The mod also features sudden rain showers, characteristic of the spring season: a thunderstorm can erupt in broad daylight, leading to a heavy downpour that ends as abruptly as it began.

Of course, this is far from everything that has been done in the mod (a special mention is deserved for the menu through which optimal graphics settings can be selected, allowing owners of less powerful computers to play comfortably). We hope you enjoy the mod.
