Gives Tav unique body textures and model, unique face makeup textures, unique face tattoo textures, and also adds body tattoos as an option. I also upscaled the body tattoos because I love you. Now you are very special.




Requirements:
BG3 Mod Manger (DO NOT USE VORTEX)
BG3 mod fixer
Trips' Old Shader Pack


MY TAV IS BLUE IS THIS A BUG IS THIS A BUG???

NO! INSTALL TRIPS OLD SHADER PACK. IT IS REQUIRED. 
INSTALL THE REQUIREMENTS PEOPLE!


Note:

• Face Tattoo and Face Makeup are for ALL vanilla races/subraces. If you have a non-replacer head or a new race it needs to be patched. I have a list of supported non-replacer heads and new races under compatibility. 
• Body Textures and Body Tattoo are for all default races. If you have a new race it needs to be patched.
• If you have a mod that also edits CharacterVisual resources it needs to be patched. As far as I know that is only Eyes of the Beholder and astralites glow eyes (I'm sure there are others). Which I have a patch for. See more under compatibility.
  

Biggest Note:
This mod is not a 'plug and play' as you need to have a basic understanding of windows file explorer and file replacements to utilize this mod at the lowest level.
Therefore you actually need to read the instructions.
There are several tiers of utilization
1> basic: only use my replacements + variants.
2> basic+1: take existing loose file replacers for textures/meshes (e.g. facepaint mods, big boobies mods), rename them, and placing them in the correct directories. 
3> intermediate: create your own assets either from scratch or modifying the above files.
4> advanced: modifying the XML for different colors/overlays/support, and then repacking unique_tav.

How Use? Video Edition:
Shit-tier installation and usage video. 
First Part is installing
Second Part is basic customization (basic, basic+1)
Third Part details how the back end works for advanced users (advanced). 



How Use? Written edition:

1> Download "Unique Tav PAK" and install with BG3MM or Vortex

2> Download "Unique Tav Data" and unpack zipped contents to Baldurs Gate/Data/
 folder. The final file path should be something like
SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Baldurs Gate 3/Data/Generated/Public/Shared/Assets/unique_tav/ The final "unique_tav" folder will have a bunch of Default presets inside.
Default:

• No Body Tattoos
• Upscaled Vanilla (BG3) Face Makeup from soriyumi
• Upscaled Vanilla (BG3) Face Tattoos from soriyumi
• Hairless Body
  

3> Make sure you didn't mess up installing, verify it works by checking if human males have hairless chest.

(YOU CAN STOP HERE IF YOU ONLY WANT THE BASIC FUNCTIONALITY AND ARE USING SOME OTHER MOD.)
If Customize sounds like a lot, I have included some BODY Variants and BODY TATTOO Variants. Check under optional files.

4> Customize (Optional)
To customize you need to overwrite the contents of each section inside the "unique_tav" folder.
Face:
unique_tav/FACE/Skin_Atlas_Head_SHR_Makeup_A_MSK.DDS
This is what you replace for new makeup
unique_tav/FACE/Skin_Atlas_Head_SHR_Tattoo_A_MSK.DDS
This is what you replace for new face tattoos
BODY section has three sections:

This is what you replace for new body tattoos
unique_tav/BODY/TATTOO/Skin_Atlas_Body_UNI_Tattoo_A_MSK.DDS
This contains all the textures and models for Elves, Drow, Half-Elves, and Humans
unique_tav/BODY/NORMIES/

This contains all the textures and models for Tieflings.
unique_tav/BODY/TIF/


5> Hotloading: You can edit the files and see them update in the game by exiting to the main menu, then reloading your saved game or starting a new one. Otherwise you can just restart the whole game. (This sometimes doesn't work, I've noticed it failing to work when ASTRL Tiefling Subraces are enabled)
