The Variety Framework allows you to customize your characters even more uniquely than ever!
It does this by adding unique entries for bodies, body textures, and body tattoos per subrace.


With the Variety Framework you can set up custom bodies and their textures as well as body tattoos to be different per subrace.
This means that you can have a different body, textures and tattoos on your Lolth-Sworn Drow and Seldarine Drow 
at the same time!

The Variety Framework works for all VANILLA races and bodies. Modded races/subraces are NOT supported currently!
Note: This mod is a Framework meaning that by itself, it will not change anything!
(This mod merely does the setup for other mods to work alongside it!)

1. BG3 Mod Manager 
(if you use Vortex for this, I will not be able to help you)
2. Trips' Shader Pack 

Download the .pak file and install it with the BG3 Mod Manager.
To be safe, I recommend putting it at the bottom of your load order! 



The main file simply called 'Variety Framework' is the .pak file you need for the mod to work.
However, to make your life easier I've included the complete Generated folder in the Optional Files!
This Generated folder includes all VANILLA bodies and textures + an empty tattoo atlas.
This way you can easily replace them with files of your own!

The Optional Files also include something called the 'Variety Framework Folder Setup Template' 
This is a template with all the folders divided per body + race/subrace except empty.
This can be used by mod makers or people who don't want to download the entire generated folder.

The video below explains how to set up mods currently made to work with Unique Tav to work with the Variety Framework
This video uses the 'Variety Framework Folder Setup Template' for this and explains that more in-depth as well.
Naming conventions are included in the .zip file as well as the articles!





Q: Can I use Unique Tav for the face tattoos and makeup?
A: No, sadly. You can use More Makeup and Tattoos instead though :D

Q: Can I use your More Makeup and Tattoos mod alongside this?
A: Yes! Just be sure to grab the Variety Framework OR the Variety Framework + EOTB version!

Q: I downloaded the Generated folder but deleted a body/textures. Will the mod break?
A: No. The bodies will simply revert to vanilla, as the Generated files are included within the mod as well!

Q: Does it work on [insert modded race/subrace]?
A: No. Currently, the mod only works on the races that come with the game. Modded race support is being worked on.

Q: Can Dragonborn have body tattoos as well?

A: No, sadly there's no support for this currently available :(

Q: Can I support you in any way?
A: Yes! You can find my ko-fi below :]
