Suggestion: Instead of doing .exe files to replace game files and make .bak files, make your mods require "Custom Character Textures" by aedenthorn (https://www.nexusmods.com/sunhaven/mods/6), and just zip a file with the replaced images.
This way you don't get quarantined. People like me who prefer to not have to run an .exe for textures can be fine, and the mod will persist through patches. Stardew Valley and other communities use the same method that aedenthorn used to replace textures. And it will likely result in you not getting quarantined. I suspect the quarantine is because of the .exe files.
I did a few image/texture replacements myself for personal use that I might upload. It looks like you're going through quite a few characters. When I exported my textures, I got yours since they were in my game so for my personal use, I can already put your mods in the \BepInEx\plugins\CustomTextures folder and call it a day, but I'd really suggest jumping in on this instead of only providing .exe.
Edit: Also, the updated version won't work/overwrite your previous one. Please give the files instead of an .exe. It's a lot more work to reinstall, extract, then put it in the proper space. Updated .exe tries to install to the C:\ drive even when you have specifically chosen another install location.
Thanks to your suggestion, I was able to reach out to aedenthorn and they updated their mod to allow for custom portraits and overworld sprites. My mod is all updated, and thank you so much!
My steam games are on my D:\ but the latest version of the catherine mod is trying to install the default C: steam location no matter what I do.
Also PattyHoswell released a beta mod that allows the replacing of dialogue portraits (among other things). If custom character textures isn't appropriate, maybe that is an option?
Great! I very much prefer your version, thanks. This is one of the few games where the mods are coming out with smaller boobs first, haha. The outfit looks way cuter with these proportions too.

Sorry, I was busy for the week after this so I didn't get to respond on time.
