NOTICE You are unlikely to see the UI intended for this mod if you are using a controller when selecting the races that have selectable passives by default. Currently, none of the UI-required mods add compatibility for this. So you need to unplug the controller, select them with mouse & keyboard, and then reconnect your controller to get around this. UI Displays differently for controllers & mouse and keyboard so this is why this happens. Refusing to do so may cause you to miss out on a selectable trait, or "Choices Pending" which will prevent you from being able to move past the character creation screen.

Movement You can move up to 9m per turn.
Ability Score IncreaseTwo different ability scores of your choice increase by 1.
IMPLEMENTATION. Due to the way, Larian Studios has added ability score selection to the classes instead of the races, I didn't bother adding this one as it would cause way too many conflicts or would be extremely unbalanced compared to the other races.
Skills You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.
IMPLEMENTATION Adheres to RAW as intended.
Feat You gain one feat of your choice.
IMPLEMENTATION (Insert Available Feats List Here)
Due to the UI Limitations, you can't add the normal Select Feats to races, what I did instead to get around this dilemma is added selectable passives. This was super easy to do with Feats that have a singular passive like Tough, while others are a passive that applies a perm status on you once that adds the passives that feat provided. This for example are Feats with multiple passives like Great Weapon Master. However, these passives are removed when you RESPEC and select a different Feat.
Some Feats were avoided due to them not being compatible with the select passives system. The following are examples of feats avoided:
Ability Score Increase: You can't add Selectable Ability Score options to SelectPassives. So it's not possible to add this.
Magic Initiate(ANY): You can't add Selectable Spells to Select Passives. So it's not possible to add this feat. Similar Feats as this are in the same boat.
Selectable ASI Feats: You can't select Ability Score Increases so I avoided Feats that add that. A Loophole for this is I can pick the score in advance but this would likely cause too many patch requests at the moment so I just avoided them for now.
Non-Vanilla Feats: There are several feats not included in Baldur's Gate 3 that I either need to ask LostSoul if I can patch for his Feats Extra mod or make not-included ones on my own. They will be added likely after 2.0 and I'll continue to add them after future updates.

Known Issues
Spoiler:
Show
Male Bugbear isn’t compatible with all vanilla BG3 clothes and certain clothes that show off the male body may become invisible if it’s showing where their skin would be displayed in the clothes.
Male Bugbear currently isn’t compatible with vanilla BG3 gloves that reveal your fingers.
Male Bugbear currently isn’t compatible with vanilla BG3 shoes that reveal your toes.
Female Bugbear is currently just a Half-Orc. This is a placeholder for when I have the time to do the 3.0 update for them which will use the Half-Orc as a base for the design.
Bugbear male fur may clip through some vanilla armors, this is because of how the fur is added to the Bugbear body and uses the same slots as those items, and if the armor doesn’t specify to remove it, the fur will remain.
Some underwear may clip for Bugbear males because of the slight differences in their bodies. They’re slightly more buff than Strong Bodies.

Removed Fantastical Multiverse 1.0 Version which provided the race with PETPAL Tag, this allows you to speak with animals and is how you do so.
