In Dōbutsu no Mori e+, you are able to invite villagers to your town via e-Reader cards. Sixty new villagers and eighteen new islanders added. They are only available through scanning the e-Reader cards. When they are loaded, the game adds their entire data to your save file as Yaz0 compressed data, along with padding. The file structure looks like this:
| Offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x0000 | Varies (Maximum of 0x73B) | Yaz0 Encoded Section of the file (contains villager data & textures) |
