Creatures 1 Christmas Pack 2 This pack of seasonal cobs for Creatures 1 was developed by Creature Labs and originally released in late 1997. Previously, only the first Christmas Pack was included in Albian Years.

This adds the following files to inject:

Christmas Cards.COB Christmas Cracker.COB Christmas Fireplace.COB Christmas Incubator lights.COB Christmas Lights.COB Christmas Pudding.COB Christmas SnowStorm.COB Christmas Streamers.COB Christmas Tinsel.COB Incubator lights.COB SnowStorm.COB

It also adds a new Santa Norn that you can import.

We have also continued our efforts to increase the stability of Creatures 2. There is a potential fix that may help reduce the amount of crashes related to DirectX errors, though this will require more testing on our part before we can set it live.
