A Camera glitch has decreed short Lae'zel is real today.

we're taking it as a positive open for nothing werid happening here in this save that will add it to the weird curruption issue graveyard.

Hey have you updated to hotfix 18 yet? It seems like it broke all the mods again & the game basically crashes within 15 mins. We have pretty much the same mods so I figured I'd ask & see if it was only happening to me :(

Hello!

I haven’t actually, I usually don’t update hotfixes very often cause I always launch from bg3mm lol

Unfortunately I am not sure what could be causing the issue. I heard modfixer is a broke right now (as I find it usually is, which is why I don’t use modfixer cause it’s a lie it is modbreaker)

[corvigae]

I NEED to just suck it up and get over my fear of the last fight to finally finish my Honor Mode before Patch 7 drops but I am still just. SO incredibly fucking scared of massively fumbling it at the very end and losing my run at the finish line

After almost a month of trial and error, I'm proud to announce-

Twili's Friendly Faces for Less Common Races!

4 unique faces for Githyanki Body Type 1. It's a .PAK mod, and meant to be installed with BG3 Mod Manager. Not entirely sure if you'll need ImprovedUI or ModFixer, but I'd suggest installing them just to be sure. DOWNLOAD [Google Drive]

I'd love to see these heads in action! Feel free to tag me in your screenshots!

Additional info below the cut.

Fully planning to post these on Nexusmods, I'll add an update to this post when I do

I also have plans on making a loose-file version for those who don't want to use pak mods (they won't be standalone this way, however)

Not sure if it's compatible with Vortex

I plan on making this a series of mods, and I've got some Gnome and Halfling heads in the works

These mods will mostly be for Body Type 1 as I have less experience with sculpting heads for Body Type 2

Mod Quirks

Certain tattoos/makeup might look warped

Minor clipping issues with certain animations and hair

"Meryl" head has some wonky geometry around the ear base, but it's not too noticeable

As this mod uses vanilla skeletons, certain facial piercings and facial hair may be misaligned

If you experience any major bugs/issues specific to my heads please let me know!

🎁 [EP16] BUGFIX - Lovestruck's Costume Box is STILL busted. 💔

👹 The Costume Box shipped with incompetent coding, locking some costumes to your Gender (Sex) or Clothing Preference. This is a problem for transframe sims and cisframe sims wanting to wear opposite frame costumes. This problem is exasperated by EAxis' continued use of improper Restrict Opposite Gender flags on TEEN+ clothing even after numerous Bug Reports.

Fixing the Costume Box does not fix the improper Restrict Opposite PartFlags on CAS items, which contributes to the incompetence of this thing. If you've got a transframe sim, you need this modfix + CAS Overrides for this to work properly. In the future I will include the necessary CAS Overrides and make this an all-in-one modfix.

Even with this update, there's still so much work to do to properly fix this travesty. "KEEP READING" to see more.

This is 27 (due to the Tumblr attachment limit) of the 51 costumes available in the Costume Box worn by my Male/Feminine Frame sim. When I say !@#$'s broken, I mean !@#$'s broken:

Mods, Kisses, and Patch 4!

I posted this up on Mod Fixer's page on the Nexus...but I'll share it here as well!

Hi everybody! I'm just going to add what I did to get my mods working (and kisses!)(and Astarion kisses!)(no, Astarion's voice lines are still bugged - that's a Larian issue.). I can't say it will work for you. But it worked for me. 

1 - I don't use script extender...so if you use it, sorry I can't help you.  2 - I use BG3 Mod Manager...so if you use Vortex...I'm not sure I can help you.  3 - I don't use any mods that change classes/skills or add classes/skills. I only use mods that add things like hair and faces and armor to the game.  4 - Yes, I use Basket Full of Equipment. 

Ok...with that...what I did...

1 - Disable all mods. Move them to the right window in BG3MM. Leave Improved UI and ModFixer enabled on the bottom left of BG3MM. (The only way I could get my game to load at all with my mods disabled is to keep these two active).  2 - Export new version of load order from BG3MM (if you use BG3MM you should know what this means.) 3 - Load game. You will have all sorts of missing mod errors. But hopefully it will load.  4 - Save game. Exit game.  5 - Load game. No more errors because you've created a "clean" save. Your kisses should hopefully be working! If they are...YAY! Move to next step.  6 - Save game. Exit game. 7 - Start adding mods back in, moving them back to the active pane...but only add a couple at a time. 8 - Export new version of load order from BG3MM. 9 - Load game. Check to see if kisses still work. 

At this point, it's basically trial and error. I was able to get all of my mods working again after creating a "clean" save and essentially starting over with mods. That includes Basket Full of Equipment! And I didn't have to unpack anything. 

Like I said, I don't know if this will work for you...but it worked for me...so it's worth a shot! I have these mods enabled and it's working...

Honey's Hair Kitchen Wyll's Demon Form Vemperen's Other Heads Rose Tattoo Fix Minthara's Glittery Eyeshadow Restored Darker Black Hair Astarion's Earring Purchasable Camp Clothes Basket Full of Equipment SFW (this includes ModFixer...but I noticed I still need to have ModFixer enabled separately at the bottom...I have no idea but trial and error told me I do) Improved UI (required) ModFixer (required)

[preciouslittle-bhaalbabe]

I figured out how to remove modfixer from pak files. If I did it correctly this is gonna be literally game changing lol *edit* it didn't work :C

[deimcs]

the way none of my mods have modfixer embedd anymore but nothing works anyway, i'm usually pretty on top of these things but the laziness is extreme lately. i'm just gonna wait for it to fix itself ngl

Thess vs Mod Issues

Well. That explains some things.

See, I had a few issues on this my second playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3. Specifically, I was struggling with Nere's head. I had it in my inventory. The game would not recognise that I had this head in my inventory. This was annoying, but not a huge problem. It's a side quest. The asshole was dead. So I just kind of yeeted the head into the lava and moved on.

Now, two things, each more problematic than the last. First, it will not recognise that I have a night orchid for Shadowheart, which is frustrating as hell. But the worst of it is that I have two chunks of infernal iron and I am at the Last Light Inn and Dammon is asking me for infernal iron to fix Karlach and IT WILL NOT RECOGNISE THAT I HAVE INFERNAL IRON.

So I hit Google. Now, apparently this is a bug that mostly hits people playing with mods, but has actually hit some people playing an unmodded game. One of the last couple of hotfixes Larian did kind of messed up some bits and pieces and made some important items (iron, night orchids, heads, all manner of shit) just ... not be recognised as being in your inventory when it's in your inventory.

There are a lot of things that can be done about this and they're all complicated as fuck and it's frustrating. I don't even know where to start with the fixes. I'm trying one, but it may be that the only way is to ... well, start again, clean, no mods. Which means no proper aasimar Alisaie, at least until the next hotfix. And that's assuming that I don't wind up with the same bug in a non-modded playthrough.

FUUUUUUUUUCK.

Well, I'll keep going through this whole validation ... thing and we'll see how it goes. It's a good thing that a) I like Act 1 well enough and b) am perfectly happy to keep going through things to find the New Stuff. Bneh.

EDIT: I've been doing some hunting and while there are a lot of fixes, I've learned a few things. Like, this apparently started with Hotfix 16, because Larian's still implementing this "grab whatever you want from whatever companion you want / the camp chest whenever you need to" thing and it's a process. It's apparently fucking up with ModFixer, which a lot of mods apparently need or already have embedded in it. Thing is, the person who made the ModFixer mod has never updated it, ever, and apparently the comment when people flag up the issue is "The mod isn't broken; I'm not fixing shit". So ... that's nice. Of course, some people are having this bug without having any mods at all, so they're right in a way, but that doesn't help all the people with the mods. So that's nice. I'll probably have a poke at fixing things but I'm going to have to go back to a way earlier save anyway because this goes all the way back to the Nere fight, so I don't really know how to cope with this. But I can't do all that much right now because I have an appointment with the optician in about an hour because I really need to have my glasses prescription looked at (gods, the sticker shock on this one but I'd like to be able to see and have fewer headaches, so there you have it), which means clothes / shoes / out. I also need more heavy cream and some limescale remover for my kettle. Yay hard water. I just pray I don't come out of the eye tests with more migraine - I usually do because of the glaucoma puff test, but I'd like to have a video game day.

*sigh* Maybe I'll just go back to poking new games I haven't touched yet and leave BG3 alone for awhile.

>is called "ModFixer"

>breaks your game

[jessiemeows]

fun fact guys i have a mod that uses sarevoks armor that will give you the cool attack that he does after 4 murderous strikes BUT if you are female and duel wield (every single character I will ever use will duel wield) and will use a very, very old animation of Orin doing it that was taken out of the game for whatever reason. I use an older version of it and upkeep the mod myself. (removed modfixer and tried my best to fix bugs but im no modder really bc the creator will only do the sarevok version not the orin version idk why, i asked him but he just said only sarevok lol)

maybe I'll post a vid of the animation in a bit im sort just running around rivington but honestly its taking me 3000 years to get through it because i lowkey just wanna start my evil playthrough before patch 8 lmfaoooo

[dantent]

I’m sorry again it’s not your blog topic but I reach you out again my Mod not working 😭 do the improved ui and modfixer should be installed as files only? Without the folder?

hey anon!

im sorry to hear that it's not working but i hope i can help:( once you downloaded the folder/zip file/or however it appears to you, there should be a .pak file inside and that's the only file you need to drag to the baldur's gate 3 mods folder. when that's done the modmanager should be able to detect it.

[corvigae]

Question for when Patch 6 drops - I assume that when patches are released, you should disable any mods you have until you know they're not broken, yes? How do you....do that?

(For context I currently just have ModFixer and a few small, mostly cosmetic mods that are enabled through BG3 Mod Manager)

[the-consequence-of-imagination]

Today I found out that "ModFixer" is just a little 12 line txt file in a nested folder. I think it's funny that such a small, simple thing can make such a difference in modding.

[5mcsinatrenchcoat]

the fact that modfixer hasn't been updated since the literal August makes me nervous. hope the author is around.

can script extender (and preferably mod fixer) update before the weekend fully hits pls... 😭

[melissagt]

PSA for anyone with PATCH 4 broken kissing scenes who happen to be using mods. My kissing scenes were broken and I was able to get them to work by disabling my mods. All of them. The only thing I have enabled are Improved UI (was just updated today) and ModFixer. I have to keep those enabled or else my saves won't load because of the mods I've disabled. But...kissing scenes work! Yay, kisses for all!

For additional testing, I tried enabling my other mods one at a time to see if I could isolate the culprit. Sadly...there isn't just one. As soon as I enabled any other mod, doesn't matter which one...even just hair mods...then the kissing scenes broke again.

So if you are having issues with mods and the kissing scenes, give that a shot. It sucks, but that's the risk we run with mods. And hopefully they will get updated. I'm just lucky that all of mine are cosmetic!
