Fixes an issue that prevents .pak mods from loading correctly. This is still necessary for all patches after #3 at the time of writing this (Patch #8).

Changelogs
Version 1.7
Changes from Patch #8 are carried over.
Added instruments to treasure tables (75%/25% for common/rare respectively).
Added a few new items, e.g. barbarian bracers.
A bunch of new treasure tables can have loot from this mod in them.
Version 1.6
Treasure tables now include loot from Patch #7.
Added improvised weapons (e.g. pitchforks, pickaxes, and meat cleavers) to loot tables.
Added barbarian armors to loot tables.
Added a few more variations of weapons (e.g. makeshift crossbows, crude maces, and goblin scimitars/bows) as well as B-variants (same but different look) to loot tables.
Changed "MinLevel" of Breastplate, HalfPlate, and Plate armors to 1 so they can appear before level 6.
Simple weapons are now slightly more common than martial weapons (60%/40% respectively).
Version 1.5
Treasure tables now retain loot added by Patch #6.
Lae'zel now starts with a camping pack as intended.
Added shields, druid / rogue / sorcerer armors, and a few other items to treasure tables.
Overhauled the chance of finding armors within each tier (now all 40% / 35% / 25% for Light / Medium / Heavy).
Added loot to the new Grymdark area.
Nerfed the amount of junk loot traders have by ~50% (so less clutter).
Added loot to new gold stashes and combat leader tables.
Rarer +1 +2 is now more exactly 20% and 4% respectively.
Heavy armor like plate / splint / chainmail now has stealth disadvantage as expected (ringmail has this already).
Version 1.4
Treasure tables should now retain loot added by Patch #5, like new magical items and supplies.
The Rarer 1 2 version is now exactly 20% and 4% as likely for +1 and +2 weapons to spawn respectively. (Was previously closer to 35% and 7%.)
Version 1.3
Treasure tables should now retain loot added by Patch #4, like the new Githyanki weapons.
Increased chance of loot in some containers with valuables, like most backpacks, chests, and traders.
Removed chance of loot in some containers without valuables, like certain food and alchemy containers.
Version 1.2
100% chance magic items restored to treasure tables (previously randomized, e.g. specific +1 replaced by any +1).
Added new weapon types to treasure tables (javelins, darts, slings, hand crossbows, flails, and sickles).
Added B variants of secondary armor (leather helmet and metal helmet).
Fixed/added various meta.lsx properties (version, description, name, and tags).
Version 1.1
Now compatible with Candor Mod Manager.
Added rarer +1/+2 version (treated more like magic items than just upgrades).
Removed Leather Armor +2 (missing model).
Limited +1/+2 weapons to level 2+/3+ respectively (finding these early was a bit OP).
Moved Ring Mail +1 from level 1 to 2 (grants +1 AC for no drawback compared to +0).

Note: This mod was for Early Access and does not support the full game (yet).
Problems in vanilla - The armor you steal off of Lae'zel rivals the best armors the game has in EA. - If you pick a fighter, then the armor you start with is only 1 AC away from that. - Heavy armor proficiency is only good for a 16 AC Chain Mail at best.
Changes fixing ^ - You can now find non-EA weapons and armors already in the files. - Splint & plate armor, +2 weapons, +1/+2 armor variants, slings, darts, flails, etc. - Sold by traders, inside chests, crates, and barrels; all randomly generated. - Starting equipment is more basic, so you can experience the full range of upgrades.
Manual 1. Extract 2. Copy .pak into "/AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/Mods" 3. Copy this into "/AppData/Local/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/PlayerProfiles/{Profile}/modsettings.lsx" (can open with e.g. notepad) under "<node id="Mods"> <children>", after the first "</node>":
Containers that normally have valuables, like chests, are more likely to have equipment than regular crates and barrels. Containers that are always empty won't have new items.
The type of equipment found also varies, and is split up into 3 tiers.
Minor (95%) - Clothing, lower lv. armor, no +1/+2 weapons. Medium (5%*) - Regular lv. armor, 20% chance for +1 weapons. Major (0.2%*) - Higher lv. armor, 40% for +1 weapons, 10% for +2.
* Much more likely for certain containers and traders.
Armor
Armor you find naturally gets better as your party levels. If you're lucky you may find some above your current level, and vice versa. Traders will also sell these at prices appropriate for each level.
You can also find secondary armor (helmets, gloves, boots, etc). Including the default circlet and belt.
As well as various types of clothing, including gale's robes, daisy's dress, etc.
Weapons
Most +0/+1 weapons are already in the game, some exclusively sold by traders. They can now all be found in containers as well, including +2 variants. New types include slings, darts, flails, and hand crossbows.
Chance per equipment found* from this mod +0 (20%) +1 (0.55%) at level 2+ +2 (0.08%) at level 3+
* Excluding special containers (e.g. traders / treasure chests).
Update: Since Patch #7, all of these have unique models, and some even unique animations.
Starting Equipment
Note that I haven't modified any description, yet the chain shirt mentions the nautiloid. I'm guessing this way of balancing starting equipment is something the developers had planned, but hadn't finished for EA - the scale mail, for example, is missing a damaged model.
Classes Cleric: Chain Shirt (13+2) -> Damaged Chain Shirt (12+2) Fighter: Scale Mail (14+2) -> Damaged Scale Mail (13+2)
Q: You made these assets? A: No, they're already in the game files.
Q: Can I use this in an existing save? A: Yes, unlooted containers generate loot when you open them, and traders restock when you long rest.
Q: How do I know if I've installed the mod correctly? A: Can check in character creation on clerics if they use the damaged armor (knee exposed on females).
Q: Can I use Customizable Starting Equipment with this? A: Yes, rename "Shared" in that path to "Gear". That overrides "Equipment.txt" from this mod, so only yours will apply.
Q: What happens if I unlock XP and get to level 5+? A: The mod will simply keep treating its loot tables as if you were level 4, so things don't get completely unbalanced.
Compatibility
Mod should work fine with anything apart from mods/patches also modifying:
- /Public/{module}/Stats/Generated/Data/Armor.txt - ARM_{X}_Body, ARM_{X}_Body_1, ARM_{X}_Body_2 - Padded, Leather, StuddedLeather, Hide, ChainShirt, ScaleMail, Breastplate, HalfPlate, RingMail, ChainMail, Splint, Plate (Adjusts price and minLevel) - ARM_ChainMail_Body, ARM_Splint_Body, ARM_Plate_Body (Adds disadvantage on stealth rolls) - ARM_{X}_Body_Destroyed - ChainShirt, ScaleMail (Adjusts price and AC by +1) - /Public/{module}/Stats/Generated/Equipment.txt - EQP_CC_{X} - Cleric, Fighter (Adjusts armors to damaged variants) - EQ_Laezel (Adjusts armor to damaged variant) - /Public/{module}/Stats/Generated/TreasureTable.txt - Makes changes to basically all but a few tables; too many to mention here. (Adds new subtables for potential weapons/armors)
