I'm not playing BG3 RN, so no new updates outside of fixes.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING
- PAK and DATA (latest version of each)
- BG3 Mod Manger (DO NOT USE VORTEX unless you know what you are doing)
- Trips' Old Shader Pack (Makes your character not blue)
- 7zip (to unpack the files, winrar also works if you are a sadist)
- The latest version of unique tav pak and data
common questions:q: my tav is invisible/missing body/missing limbs
a: Download the required "Unique Tav Data", and install it to location indicated by the directions/video. If tav has no body it means the pak is working but it can't find the data at the location it's looking for.
q: my tav is blue is this a bug?
a: No you haven't installed Trips Old Shader Pack properly.
q: can't open unique_tav file?
a: You need 7zip or winrar to open 7z files. Enable windows file extensions so you can see the types of files you are downloading if you don't see the 7z at the end. e.g: (packed_file.7z). Its just a good practice in general.
q: something dragonborn
a: I don't have this issue but some people did, so I unhid version 1.5.0-1.5.3 and put it under old files. maybe it will work for you if you have that issue. no further support offered.
q: why no vortex?
a: I advise BG3MM because its what I use, and there is no support if you use vortex. If you can get vortex working for you that's great, but if you have any problems, I can't help you. I don't hate vortex and use it for other games (stardew valley), but I had a much better time using the BG3MM instead of vortex when I was playing. However, they could have patched the vortex manager to work better since I've last really played BG3 which was in late 2023. (The only thing I've done since my last playthrough is keep Unique Tav working.)
q: my tav has a tattoo but I deleted your tattoo file?
a: By default "Unique Tav Data" has a BLANK tattoo file. If your character has a tattoo it's because the game is looking the default atlas not the unique tav atlas. Make sure unique tav is at the bottom of your load order. So no, deleting the blank tattoo file will not fix your character having a tattoo. It's a load order issue. If you have deleted the blank tattoo file in an attempt to 'fix' this issue you need to put it back.
q: why did my mod that changed the body/face disappear?
a: The point of this mod is to have the player character read from unique_tav/ subfolders. You need to put those files in the unique_tav/ folders and name them properly as indicated by the directions/video.
e.g: someone wanting use a body replacer the overwrites regular files would do this:
"""
Name given by mod -> Updated Unique Tav name
HUM_FS_NKD_Body_A.gr2-> UNIQUE_FS_NKD_Body_A.gr2
HUM_FS_NKD_Body_A_CLEA.dds-> UNIQUE_F_NKD_BODY_A_CLEA.dds
HUM_FS_NKD_Body_A_HMVY.dds-> UNIQUE_F_NKD_Body_A_HMVY.dds
HUM_FS_NKD_Body_A_NM.dds-> UNIQUE_F_NKD_BODY_A_NM.dds
and then put all four of those under unique_tav > BODY > NORMIES > FEMALE and confirm replacement.
"""
q: can I submit a picture to the "IMAGES" tab?
a: Yes! I love your pictures~~~ BUT IT CAN'T BE NAKED I'M SORRY I WILL DELETE IT. (this page is SFW)
q: kartoffel can I give you money?
a: If you appreciate my work you can donate to my kofi, but are in no way obliged to do so.
Further information can be found in the description or video. Unique Tav is not a 'plug and play', and so requires moderate effort to set up for inexperienced users (of file browsers). If this is you, you will have to read the directions or watch the video closely to understand what to do. Googling "how to use the windows file-browser" and "what is a file-path" maybe helpful if you are very unfamiliar with it.
Good luck, happy gaming :-)
This cool mod by Kaz and Astra can be seen as a modern replacement to Unique Tav.
If you are looking for more features give it a try!
I completely removed the .pak file and generated files/folder, even uninstalled the game and made sure there were nothing left.
Completely re-installed all the mods through BG3MM, installed script extender etc etc, extracted the generated folder into my data folder. Still nothing.
And what pisses me of the most, it work perfectly on my BF's pc and game and i just installed it for him yesterday ffs....
So dear fellow players, anyone know what i can do?
I wondering if its a Patch 8 thing or maybe I've done something totally wrong or if I'm completely alone on this issue? I just started the Unique Tav Mode yesterday and carefully followed Mazikeen's video (thank you. thank you by the way Mazikeen)?
