Make everyone in the Rim a furry. All xenotypes receive thematic anthro genes. Cosmetic only. Because every colony deserves more fluff.

Adds anthro fur, ears, tails, and headbones to every xenotype. Each xenotype receives a [b]themed pack[/b] matching its identity: hussars get predators, dirtmoles get burrowers, genies get foxes, and so on. All genes are [b]purely cosmetic[/b], zero stat changes, zero costs.
How It Works: Sets and Packs
[list]
[*] A [b]set[/b] is a group of genes that create one full anthro appearance (e.g. bear fur + bear ears + bear tail = bear set).
[*] A [b]pack[/b] is a container with one or more sets. When a pawn spawns with a pack gene, the Random Genetics Framework picks one random set and applies it.
[*] [b]Themed packs[/b] group sets by theme (e.g. the "Violent" pack has wolf, shark, bear). Each pawn gets a random appearance from the themed pool.
[/list]
Two hussars in the same colony might look different (one a shark, one a wolf) but both fit the "violent combatant" theme.

Settings
Hiding settings for genes, xenotypes and factions.
Additional hiding settings per mod are described in the Integrations section above.
[b]Note:[/b] Hiding xenotypes/factions requires a restart and is [b]not savegame-safe[/b]. Hiding genes via VEF is savegame-safe.

Many more cosmetic genes as the forms of sets will appear in the genepool, decreasing the value of xenogenes a bit. There are mod to separate cosmetic from functional genes. I recommend using those. I don't touch much the xenogenes system in my gameplays so I don't know how disruptive this really is.
FAQ
[b]Q: Does this affect balance?[/b]
A: No. Every gene is purely cosmetic.
[b]Q: Is this savegame-safe?[/b]
A: Yes to add. Existing pawns won't get new genes, only newly generated ones. Not to remove.
[b]Q: Why are xenotypes hidden by default?[/b]
A: Anthrosonae and Feline xenotypes are redundant since this mod redistributes their genes. Re-enable in settings.
