It's patch day! Please be patient as modders test and update their mods. You can see my progress wrt my own mods here.
This mod still needs to be tested with Patch 8! However, it may still be working, just without the changes made by the patch. Let me know if you have any issues, and I'll be updating the mod for the patch shortly!
This mod does not work with the ingame mod manager.
The ingame mod manager doesn't seem to register dialogue mods that are a combination of overrides and original dialogue files, which means the option will show up for you, but the interaction won't be able to play.
If you're having trouble with the hugs playing, and are using the ingame mod manager, that is likely why. Please use the BG3 Mod Manager by LaughingLeader instead.
Put the mod in your mod load order in BG3MM, then save + export your mod load order to the game, and open your save without opening the ingame mod manager.
If the interaction's still not playing, let me know, but using the ingame mod manager seems like a very common way to break this mod, so please, do not do so.
Hi everyone! I'm currently finishing up uni finals, and things have been a bit hectic this week. I've had to set aside testing the compatibility method temporarily, but will be able to pick that up again soon!! (I want to be really sure that nothing's breaking with it before I release it, so I need to be pretty thorough with testing.) Compatibility with Really Shadowheart and Wyll's Good Manners is being worked on, and so is compatibility with my own incompatible mods, Brightest Star and Astarion Romance Reactions Fixed. If you have any of those mods and the interaction isn't showing up for you, or the interaction cancels mid-dialogue, that may be why!
Thank you for your patience while I work on this, and take care!
EDIT:
The compatibility patch method I was working on ended up having some really strange bugs I'm still trying to figure out π I'm going to be going with the old-fashioned methods for compatibility for my own mods until I can iron those out, and hopefully have some easier solutions for other modders soon. Thank you very much for your patience!!
EDIT 2: The compatibility patch method I was working on has some bugs I can't seem to work out, and combining the mods might take a little bit. Thank you very much again for your continued patience π!
This is absolutely adorable, thank you so much for making this! I do have a question though, just out of personal preference, is there a way you could release a version where there's no additional comments after the hug? Like the hug animation plays then it just goes to the dialog list again after? The lines are adorable don't get me wrong, and I appreciate the effort you put in to find them, but I have a weird thing about repeated dialog and idk why (if there were a mod to take out the comments characters make after the romance kisses I'd download it, idk why I'm like this XD). If not that's totally chill, but I figured I may as well ask. Thanks!
Hi, finally got this mod to work on Mac (yay!). I was having some trouble with it but randomly decided to try again and finally got it to work. Also found a mod that conflicts with this one: Cerberry's Astarion Greeting Editsο»Ώ
And I found this really funny, but I hugged Karlach and then after the conversation ended Lae'zel started moonwalking backwards towards my character. Idk what happened there but it was hilarious.
Hi, I'm using this one: Mod Manager for Macο»Ώ. It hasn't been updated in a while but it seems to work. I use the in game mod manager mostly but for mods like this one that don't appear in the in game mod manager (seems like its mods that add conversations or edit dialogue to the game that don't appear) or need a specific load order I activate them with this mod manager instead.
Does it not work if you have any mods downloaded with the in-game mod manager at all? I keep trying my game without going into the in-game manager before hand, but it still doesn't let me. It'll give me the dialogue option, but nothing will happen
I had this problem before. How I fixed it was that in mod manager (before you open the game) you have to make sure you press "save load order to file" and then after that press "export order to game". Also just wanna give a heads up is that this mod is gonna get updated soon per sticky notes pinned in this reply section. ( I would send screenshots to help but it won't let me)
Thank you @XanderShock for answering!! That's also what I'd recommend for the current version of the mod, but yes, I am currently working on an update that should hopefully eliminate the compatibility issues with the ingame manager that should hopefully be ready soon!! (Please bear with me for a little bit though, I got sick this week and have been a bit down for the count but I'm starting to feel better now + will be picking up work on updates again soon!)
Hi, I'm just crazy about this mod, it's exactly what's missing in the game, but... For some reason, I just lost all the dialogue lines for kissing characters, I mean romances, they were just replaced with the phrase "can I hug you?" Can I somehow have both options in the dialog?
This mod shouldn't be causing that At All π° Do you have any other dialogue overrides? And is it specific romances or just one or two characters? "Can I hug you?" also isn't the way the interaction from this mod is phrased, for most characters it's, "Can I have a hug?" with Jaheira and Halsin getting unique options with their names in them; if the option you're seeing is actually "Can I hug you?" it wouldn't be from this mod. This mod also shouldn't affect romance dialogue at all; it doesn't include any files related to the companions' romance dialogue.
This is likely an issue caused by another mod and not mine; if you send me a mod load order I might be able to help pinpoint possible causes, though.
Hi!! This mod hasn't been tested for Patch 8 yet, but based on patch notes it's likely it'll need to be updated to incorporate the changes made in the patch. I do think it might still be ok to use for the timebeing, though; you just won't have any of the changes/bugfixes made by the patch. Let me know if you run into any issues, though, of course!
Hello! Just wanted to confirm that I'm pretty sure this mod does disable all the changes made by patch 8 including subclasses and photo mode. None of the new content loaded for me until I disabled some mods including this one :)
Are you sure it wasn't one of the other mods that you disabled at the same time π This mod Only affects the characters' InParty dialogue, I don't think it's capable of disabling subclasses or photo mode. The mod needs to be updated to account for changes to the characters' InParty dialogue, but that should be the only content missing. If you disabled multiple mods at once there's genuinely no way of telling which one was the issue, and I really don't think this mod Could disable all Patch 8 content.
Okay I just tested the mod ingame again and it doesn't affect photo mode or the subclasses, but will still be getting an update to account for the changes to the characters' dialogue. You'll probably want to go through the mods you disabled and narrow down which one is the root cause of the issue you're having, especially if you made similar comments on other mod pages.
I finally reached the threshold where I can hug Wyll but when I select the option in dialogue it doesn't work and it just skips the scene immediately kicking me out of dialogue. It otherwise works with Shadowheart and Gale and Wyll is the only one giving me this problem. I have a couple of visual mods on Wyll specifically, could they be interfering with that?
Oh I don't think visual mods would affect the hug interaction but, can you send me screenshots of your mod load order? It does sound like it could be a mod conflict of some kind, even if it's not the visual mods.
Oh gosh, ok so I think the issue might actually be a conflict with the Brightest Star mod and the Hugs mod? It's a bit hard to explain but, they both edit the dialogue assets resource bank for Wyll's InParty dialogue as well as the DialogsBinary files for his InParty dialogue, but the dialogue resource edit is not an override, but the InParty DialogsBinary edit is. The dialog resource edit allows the dialogue to progress from his InParty dialogue to the new dialogue files I made that have the hug interaction and the Brightest Star scene, while the DialogsBinary file edit contains the actual dialogue option. Override mods aren't affected by load order; which one takes priority seems to be pretty much random. But non-overrides, like the dialogue resource bank edit in both mods, are affected by load order, so putting the Brightest Star mod under the hugs one is probably preventing the game from accessing the nested dialogue for Wyll's hug, even though the option is still there in his dialogue.
tl;dr: the Brightest Star mod and the hugs mod edit some of the same resources, and that's probably what's causing the issue here.
I'm so sorry those two mods are still incompatible π!!! I've been just. incredibly busy irl for a long time and have been struggling a bit to figure out the best way to go about compatibility for this mod. For now, try only having one installed at a time; I have a different potential solution for compatibility I'm going to try and work on soon, so hopefully I'll be able to update the mods to work together shortly!
You don't need to apologize, coding is hard and this game's code is weird. Both Hug your companions and Brighter star are exceptional mods and you should be proud of what you've made so far, issues aside. Thank you so much for your assistance β€οΈ
Thank you so much π!!! I really really appreciate it... And yeah I've, been working really hard trying to get them to function together, but there seems to be some issues with lighting being cached no mater what method I try (i.e. when combining the mods, speaking to the character in a brightly lit area will make the lighting for their dialogue in darker areas much brighter when you talk to them again later, even in a different save, and I'm really not sure what the issue could be at the moment... I really hope I can figure it out soon, though!!! Thank you so much for your continued patience and your kind words π·πΌπ!!!)

Works perfectly with Patch 8, that I've found - just installed with BG3MM, saved the load order and exported to game, and zero issues.
Also works if you install it mid-run.
And I found this really funny, but I hugged Karlach and then after the conversation ended Lae'zel started moonwalking backwards towards my character. Idk what happened there but it was hilarious.
