This is a very small mod that allows you to play an immersive neckbeard experience. Simply drag and drop into your CDDA Mods folder.
**[DOWNLOAD HERE](https://github.com/Odieman1/Neckbeard_Scenario/tree/master)**
A quick guide on how to play:
Ensure the mod is enabled in your world, and you must select the starting scenario “Mom’s Basement”. From there, you will automatically be set up as a neckbeard, as no other professions live there.
Neckbeards start with a few traits.
- Ugly
- XXXL (Morbidly Obese)
- Strong Scent
- And of course: Neckbeard facial hair
They spawn in a very small basement, one littered with soda cans and garbage. There is a bit of junk food in the fridge and the closet, this will help you maintain your god-like body. You also come equipped with a cheap toy katana, which is more of a flavor item than a weapon. A body pillow is wielded upon start, you can use this to keep warm in the cold.
I understand to some of you, this might seem like a low effort mod. To me this took a few days and serves as my intro to modding. I hope that isn’t an issue, and what I’d love is for people to simply enjoy it and certainly share stories within the thread about their adventures as a neckbeard. Cheers.

Congrats on your first scenario ^.^
May your toy katana remain ever-sharp, and Rise to the status of diamond coated +7 stats

And I thought I was clever when I modded in lewd manga for my Urban Samurai playthrough… Nice job!
