About this mod

This mod replaces Elliott with Yusuke Kitagawa from Persona 5 by Atlus. Inspired by and based off of the "Futaba Sakura - Sebastian Replacement Mod" by JoshIsSoapy.
Disclaimer: This is my very first mod, please tell me if you encounter any issues outside of the ones listed! I'll see what I can do, although I can't code and I am a beginner.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
I apologize for the somewhat (self perceived) low quality of the graphics. This was my first time working with GIMP.

What does this do?
This mod replaces Elliott's sprites and portraits with the eccentric painter (and in this mod, sketcher) Yusuke Kitagawa. Yusuke is from Persona 5, which is owned by Sega and Atlus. I do NOT own this character. Furthermore, I made mention of Blahaj in this mod, which is owned by IKEA.

Why Elliott?
I saw a comment on JoshIsSoapy's mod saying that Elliott would be a good Yusuke and my cousin (an avid Persona player) agreed.

Requirements:
Content Patcher V1.10.0 or newer, same as Josh's.
SMAPI V2.11.0 or newer, same as Josh's.
StardewXNBHack, to unpack the game's files. I have not tested this without the unpacked files for fear that my saves would be irreparably damaged. I apologize for any unnecessary space this may use.

Installation:
Install Content Patcher, download this mod and unzip to your Mods folder.

Tools used:
GIMP 2.0 for graphics
Visual Studio Code for dialogue

Assets:
GIMP 2.0 was used to do all graphical design.
Recolored and redesigned the Elliott sprite to better fit reference images. However, the hair of the sprites (as well as the sprites in general) looks more like Makoto Yuki, the protagonist of Persona 3.
Downloaded the bustups from https://www.spriters-resource.com/playstation_4/persona5royal/sheet/129005/ and https://www.spriters-resource.com/playstation_3/persona5/sheet/91003/.
Cropped and downscaled to 64x64 using https://www.imageresizeonline.com/convert-image-to-64x64-pixels.php .
I had to do some patchwork to Yusuke's face to make certain expressions for certain portraits.

Compatibility:
Compatible with anything that does not replace Elliott's graphics or dialogue. A single line of Shane's dialogue is affected as well, making him say the correct name.

Known Issues:
There are two lines above his head whenever he walks. I suspect this may have something to do with the way I saved the sprites during my three day effort of making this mod. It would likely take me a full day to redo the sprites in a way that fixes this.
Heart Event 8 is bugged to where it does not work. The player is stuck in a bookcase and cannot move to the right place to trigger the dialogue necessary to move on. I suggest skipping it and watching the cutscene on YouTube.

Future Plans:
I may replace more characters in the future. It depends on if the creative urge strikes again. If this is the case, I will release compatibility patches.
I will likely release East Scarp, SVE, and Ridgeside Village compatibility patches in the coming days. Only the dialogue concerning Elliott will be affected.
