Thank you all for the kind words. I slowly come back to modding and may add a few more detailed body tattoos in the future. (chance it might be happening with the next big patch)
Could use some help. I have tried and tried and nothing makes this mod show up for me. I have unique tav. I put the folder in according to the steps and nothing. It's like it doesn't exist. I've tried on every race / body. No dice. What am I doing wrong?
1. Did you installed UTAV right? (best thru checking if other UTAV mods work like custom make up or scars) there is also a tutorial video in the description 2. did you took the "Generated" folder out of the first folder? (Like "Running Mind - Bodytattoo") Else it should work, since the folder puts it when copied and paste in the right UTAV folder place. (If you use BG3MM, place UTAV under every other CC mod) example screen of ma list:
Yes, I have utav and have other mods dependent on it. Went back and rechecked file trees and load orders. All looked right. No invisible body or blue tav, so UTAV was running right. I opted to remove my generated folder entirely and start fresh. I repeated all the steps and now have the body tatt visible. Possibly another mod I had layered into generated over the last couple years was combating with it. Who knows. But it's working now! Effort was worth it to get this great looking mod! Perfect for starting my durg run.
Oh ye, custom races etc. may not work if not made with/for UTAV i think. But i think i wrote that into the description too. Maybe i should write it out that any type of custom race mod may not work if not working with UTAV i think.
Makes sense. I had thought since those used the base bodies 1-4 with no resizing (curves / muscles / body hair, etc) that it would work. That's on me for assuming. ;)
I think they would work, if you use the optional files of the mods you linked, they have UTAV patches, so if you use these correctly, UTAV stuff like the tattoos should work.
this at least helped me, thank you! By the way thank you for this wonderful Tattoo. I totally fell in love with it. How did you get the idea to design it?
glad it could help. I actually got the idea itself in a funny way. At work i cant carry paper with me, so i often write down stuff on ma arms. Then i wanted to use it in the story of ma boy, to have carved words into his skin to remember.. then i thought.. scars are a bit too much. So i looked into how to make tattoos work.
Hello! By any chance, do you happen to have a body template with the grid (human-female) to share? I am trying to make my own body tattoos, but it is so difficult without a template.
The Running Mind version is nice. It go's real good with my Tiefling Oathbreaker/Warlock build. Im gonna have to learn how to edit the textures to add a little more though, like maybe summoning/binding circles and glyphs, I think that would be pretty sick.
It's using the Bangs Bangs Bangs mod (ffrom Padme) + Astarions' hairstyle from the NPC modular packs. I wish I could remember the name specifically, but basically these are modular CC packs using beard slots and such to create new hairstyles by mashing them together.
Dang, nice tattoos regardless, it fits my characters dark cultist vibe, I can't find any other tattoo mods that encase that body in scripture like writing so this works great! If you know of any that ad even a bit more than this one I would appreciate it if you would let me know.
