See my Main Mod Patch article to see what the main patch covers

This patch is for Head mods visual effects so people can have multiple head mods installed and have all of them having visual effects without one taking priority over others.

Please Opt in by either commenting on this page or my comments section.

I will not go to people's pages to ask whether they want to opt in or not, just as I don't do for my other patch. 

To reiterate this does not physically add the heads to the game you always need the original mod. This just adds extra code to make things compatible with each other.

So far patched for 1876 heads.

Version Number dictated by "- V" is what version I have so far patched for

Being added in 5.0.11.0:

With Official Tools come out, I will be looking into how we can house these vfx files ourselves without conflict. Unless something is shown that we can't and this patch is still required, I will continue updating it once a month around the 4th of the Month, unless things come up though I still try to update every month where needed.

    Hi Padme! I am currently using ghouls0rules's CC content that's been tailored for the WotD:Aasimar mod (found here), and I've noticed that the VFXs for these versions of the heads aren't appearing. I did try using another head preset that was covered in the patches, and that had the full VFX, so I'm wondering if the current VFX patch doesn't cover this version of ghoul's mod. Thanks!

      I will be updating the patch next week for head mods updates and to include new ones opted in, I will check in with Ghouls before then and see about adding them to the patch. Thank you for notifying me.

    Hi Padme :D huuuuuuuge fan of your work. you helped me make my first head mod, even if you don't know it! your blender tutorials saved my life.

    I am wondering if you could please add a vfx patch for my head as well please? It is: Violets Head Boutique

    Thank you in advance!! <3 

    PS. I plan on updating my mod with new presets in the future. would you have to make a patch for each one? that seems like way too much work for a third party, so please let me know if you'd be happy to talk me through the process so I can keep it updated. If you are happy to handle it on your own, please ignore! thank you <3

      I am more than happy to add support, as for future updates I usually track each mod that opts into the patch and then check changelog when there are updates, and if new heads have been added update the patch for them. and I update the patch once a month, if needed that month.

      really glad the blender tutorials helped

    Thank you for your hard work!  Just reporting something I noticed, The Fanged Heads of the Dark Urges Heads by suromg seems to have no vfx effects, but their normal head works

      Hi, do you happen to know if the heads exist in the main mod or a extra file? if extra file that is likely why they aren't included. I generally don't touch "patches" due to possible conflict of permissions. And typically they share same IDs if replacements. But if they don't that is likely why the fanged heads aren't getting the vfx fix.

      Hi! It should be in the main file but those heads only really appears if I use the TGAW: Dhampir race

  5. Would be great to see Feywild Heads and Antlers for Elves included.

    Permission here in comments. Though they did note they have an update coming.

    Been hoping for a fix for this one for a long while, https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/342?tab=files. Speak with dead effects just don't work.
