TROUBLESHOOTING

The dyes aren't showing up in my game!
If the dyes are not showing up, try the following:

  • Make sure you're following the proper steps on installing .pak files. If you're using anything other than BG3MM, please see the wiki linked in the mod's description page. Make sure your mod manager and mods are up-to-date!!
  • Make sure you have either Mod Fixer and/or Script Extender installed. You need at least one of them for this mod to work.
    You can install the Script Extender through BG3 Mod Manager by going to "Tools" and selecting "Download & Extract the Script Extender." (thank you beckd!)
  • If you've installed everything correctly and you have the latest versions of all your mods, make sure you take a long rest. This will refresh vendor inventories and populate the dyes.
  • If they're still not showing up, try loading the game with ONLY this mod installed to determine if it's the cause. If so, remove/delete the .pak file from the mod manager/mod folder, export to game, then re-install this mod. Make sure it is up-to-date.

I'm getting a "Data Mismatch" error OR "We were unable to create a working story" error.
As far as I'm aware, these are normal errors when playing with mods. You should be able to safely ignore them.

These dyes don't work on armour from Basket Full of Equipment!
Unfortunately, that is not an issue with my mod or theirs. Some armours from the Basket mod are not dyeable or fully dyeable. They should work on a majority(?) of them, though.


    I can't talk to NPCs or interact with the UI after installing this mod!
    This mod should not affect NPCs or the UI, so if you are having issues with either of those or both, make sure your other mods and mod manager (if you use one) are updated. This is especially important for mods like ImprovedUI.


    FAQ

    What armour is Astarion wearing? The others?
    Astarion is wearing Padded Armour +2, which can be found on vendors. In the images from the v1.5+ update, he's wearing Garb of the Land and Sky.
    Shadowheart is wearing the Dark Justiciar Half-Plate Armour found in Act 2, during the Gauntlet of Shar.
    My Tav is wearing the Spidersilk armour Minthara drops.
    Gale's wearing the Poisoner's Robe found on the Phase Spider Matriarch in the Whispering Depths.

    Is this mod compatible with other dye mods? Or with unlimited dye mods?
    Yes!

    Side note–This mod should be compatible with most other mods, as it only adds new items and does not alter any vanilla files.

    Will this mod disable achievements?
    Yes. Installing any .pak files will disable achievements, however they can be re-enabled using either of these:
  • Achievement Enabler
  • Script Extender

Why do some dyes look different/the same on certain armours?
I try my best to make sure the colours are spread out equally regardless of the armour (so you're not getting only one colour of a three-toned dye, for example), but unfortunately it still isn't going to work out for every piece in the game, especially some of the specialty ones. This is just due to the texture/colour files the armours use, and as such the dyes will vary from armour to armour.
