⮞ Despite most of the cat stuff being removed this update, all of it will be replaced in the future

⮞ The release date for sex 3 is still hidden within dfa, to this day it has never been found, but the date is still accurate and sex 3 has NOT been delayed.

⮞ There are still many names of patreons/fans/members/OGs hidden in many places throughout the mod, not many people find stuff like that but it is in the mod and has been for a long time.
