If anyone is interested, I would be more than happy to create more replacements. Just drop a comment on this thread to let me know that there is some interest. If you're also wanting one of the scars I've already included altered slightly, like moving a scar or removing a specific part, let me know in this thread I will see if I am able to do it. I'm very basic when it comes to modding, I'm not a professional, but I love trying my hand at things like this.
Edit: January 22, 2025 I haven't been active in BG3 since late October 2024. I have been playing other games and been hyper fixed on them. I currently have no plans to release additional sets but if they are reported broken I will look into fixing them.
Thank you, I'm glad you like them! But in all honesty, I spoke the truth in the description page. I didn't draw any of those myself, I just copied and pasted them in a different spot or combined them to make bigger scars :)
Ah, that's a shame, the two lip scars on the first example caught my attention because they're basically carbon-copy what I need for my oc, but I was having a bit of difficulty trying to follow guides to isolate the whole set to just that. Thank you for checking either way!
No no it's okay! I sat down and used this as motivation to draw up my own similar one and go through a tutorial bit-by-bit. Got it working as of um, like 15 minutes ago haha. Thank you so much for offering though ^^
No worries! Glad I came back on nexus to check which scar I needed before I started.
If you're interested, I had started a bit of a "collect more scars as you play" kind of idea where over time (and after battles/important events) Tav might earn new scars for their collection. So you can scar with the ones you had pointed out and say, by the end of Act 1, they might have two new scars in addition to the ones you started them with. Sadly I don't know how to add it automatically so you'd have to edit each of the nine scar slots to have them. I haven't been modding recently but it would be cool if someone tried to continue that. I have a few collections under a different mod name (Scars Over Time I think) if you wanted to see what I mean in the images.
Don't take that as pressure to do it. I just thought it could be a fun idea and you'd be able to practice doing scars :) It took me weeks to figure out how to do the scars and I don't even do them WELL so I'm impressed you got it down so quickly! I just got overwhelmed trying to follow the guides.
I know you're doing other things, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask: Is there any way to install this so it only effects Tav? Putting it in the shared assets changes scars on NPCs too.
To my knowledge, there isn't. I use Unique Tav in the pathing and the original creator of UT didn't have anything set for scars the last time I looked. I haven't checked recently, but I can look into it when I get home from work later tonight.
As far as I know, they should work if you have the most up to date version of Unique Tav and follow the install instructions on the description page. If you have any issues, let me know and I will look into them.
Just wanted to say I absolutely love Version 4 Scar 6, it was perfect for my urchin ranger/assassin type Tav that I'm currently running! Looking forward to more stuff if that's in the cards!
Hey, MadCleric! So glad to see that you're liking the scar! I'll probably work on getting some new ones made as I'm on a long weekend and want to get some more out before I take a break from BG3 after the new Dragon Age game is released.
hey hey :3 I love these scars and I would love to use them, but they don't show up and I can't figure out why. Unique tav is installed and I followed the instructions. But the dds file is also not displayiing in my files like the ones for the make up and face tattoos. It just has an icon and not the actual texture atlas. Any ideas what went wrong? help :(
can you include an image or the link that the file is in so I can see if the issue was on my end? I may have put them in the incorrect file path, depending on which one you downloaded
no problem! it was a total coincidence that I was on at the same time. I was in the process of updating my mods when you commented. Super glad you like them! I'll be adding a version 4 later today or tomorrow :)
these scars are amazing, i've always wanted more scars for my dark urge so this is seriously so good. I was wondering if it's not too much to ask, to have an optional file of version 1 where everything is the same, except scar 8 is the version from version 3? if that makes sense. no worries if not, just thought i'd ask! thanks for making this :)
no problem! Let me know if it works. I didn't get a chance to test it in game yet. I had to do it on my old computer since I don't have that software installed on the new one lol
hmmm let me have a look at it again. :) i'll work on it now and i should have it up in a few hours at most
edit: i finally got it working, but it appears that i replaced scar 9 by accident. so i have to get that fixed lol edit 2: i think i fixed it but i'm not totally sure. i haven't been able to retest it yet lol
Amazing scars! If it's not too much trouble, could you make a version of scar 7 that only has the scars through the left eye and intersecting scar on the bridge of the nose?

Do these work on Patch 7?
Have a great day!
Thank you and have a great day!
DO you need unique tav for this to work?
Or can it work without it?
That's where the file is in. I downloaded Version 3 with the bite marks.
EDIT: I renamed the folder "SHARED_Atlas" to "SHARED_Skin". It works now! YAY!
Edit: I fixed the pathing and uploaded the Version 3 with Bite Marks. I'll have to check the others, thank you for bringing this to my attention :)

Edit: it's been uploaded but it is untested. let me know if it works if you use it :)
