About this Mod

ECO REGIONS DOES REQUIRE ZAWA EVOLVED BASE MOD TO FUNCTION!

Eco Regions is a ZAWA addon that showcases a range of different animals from multiple continents, with a focous on South America! Each model is not just complete with custom models and textures, they also come with information that reflect their real counterparts so you can learn as you play along!

Eco Regions fits perfectly alongside the amazing animals in the ZAWA Evolved mod, and its "spin off" addons Lil Critters, WOTW & Essentials. There is no specific focous of this addon, however there is an abundance of Carnivores & South American animals.

We have an amazing team at Eco Regions, headfronted by Arty as Lead Assets/Owner & Crossy as Coder! We have worked very closely with other ZAWA team members to complete the project and we are very thankful to them!
