[Update 1.5] NPC Redesign (The Emerald Grove) Enjoy the update and notify me if you notice any bugs ^.^ New: • Gimblebock's Group (Wither's Crypt Bandits) • Shadow Druids • Addons — optional files: OG Faces for Kagha & Rolan Changed: • Aradin's group now goes separately from the Tiefling Refugees • Fixed bug with Arabella textures on Mac (she has new horns) • Significantly reduced Tieflings file size (-19MB)
Don't forget to tap those buttons (clickable) if you appreciate my work!
Well hello ^.^ This project required significant work in its development, and just as much effort went into getting it ready for publication. I would be very grateful for all your feedback!
The Idea For most (not all) of NPCs, it's all about: — less cartoonish skintones and clothes; — more harmonic color combinations; — more unique features and small details; — significant reduction of visual repetativeness.
This mod was created with the intention of giving each character a visual personality that depends on the situation they are in, their voice and the lines they speak. There are still a lot of corners to be smoothed out and a lot of NPCs to work on, so a lot can change over time ^.^
FAQ:
Will there be a version with each NPC seperated into single files? Very unlikely. For technical reasons it would require an extremely unreasonable amount of effort and time, considering how many changes have been made already (just open the spoilers below xd). However, I do plan on releasing updates in the form of small groups of NPCs.
What reshade are you using, can you share it? In general, this is a basic film grain with a slight softening of the yellow color towards pink, a slight reduction in color contrast and a vignette. Can't share it now for some technical reasons (like export settings are broken), will work with it later.
I really love all the outfit changes, but I prefer some of the original skin tones/hairstyles. Are all the changes for each character under one UUID, or are there separate ones for the outfits and the model changes like skin & hair?
Hi there! I'm loving this mod, but I'm wondering if there are any known conflicts that could result in most of the male characters missing textures on their extremities? It's most notable with the tieflings because of their tails, but upon closer inspection it's their hands and feet too. It seems to affect all male characters that don't use the standard/normal body type. I have Unique Tav and Tailless Tieflings but with trial and error I figured out it's not the fault of the latter. Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: I forgot to mention, when in a dialogue cutscene some textures do appear, but mostly just washes of color and not the full render. Zooming in does not produce the same effect.
I would try to save the mod load order file (backup), then disable all mods except this one and try a new game. If the issue is still there, clean the Data/Generated folder (create a backup first). If the problem is STILL occurring, you're probably missing some game files and textures so verifying the game files and/or reinstalling the game should fix it.
Although it's most likely some mod that changes the textures, be careful with what you install and what order it's in. If someone else's mod rewrites the textures and it's placed below mine, then they could theoretically cause textures bugs
does this mod change zevlor at all with is current weapon load out? he seems to be stuck on using his sword rather then switching to his crossbow, i am not sure if this mod is causing it or not,
This mod does not affect the equipment of NPCs in any way, so it is either a bug in the game itself, or caused by another mod that affects the behavior of npcs or their equipment.
This mod looks incredible! I'm strongly considering downloading, but am currently still debating. After having played for so many hundreds of hours, I don't know whether it would feel a bit jarring iif I talked to an NPC and the face is different :-P
Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just formulating my initial thoughts here!
The new clothes (leather and steel armours, casual clothes, scarfs, arm wraps) are absolutely gorgeous and I love all of them! Thumbs up for this wonderful work! :)
There are many ways to get through this story, who to be, and what to look like. But if Tav and Origins in terms of customization with a couple of mods are flexible as clay - mold them in terms of appearance and character whatever you want - NPCs are almost beyond the control of ordinary players. Many people get tired of seeing the same faces every time they re-play the game.
If you're looking for a reason, remember that the events of the game take place within a multiverse, and under such circumstances, someone's appearance can be strikingly different ;)
Hello, is there a chance or an opportunity to get a file with a certain number of MPS. I just really like your Netta, but it's (most likely) shared by all druids. The problem is that I downloaded another pack from another author, where there are several druids besides Natta, and I would like to download your version of this character, but without additional druids, because I'm afraid they will conflict with another pack.
You can unpack my druid mod, go to Content - Character Visuals and delete all files except one named <e3349d7b-f5b8-8e08-b0a9-ac0cd8101159>, then pack it back and send it to your mods folder. Place it lower in the mod list for changes to apply.
Most of these look like great upgrades. The only thing holding me back from installing is that it seems like.a strong percentage of these changes take characters that have interesting skin tones like red, yellow, blue, and brown and just make them caucasian, and in some small number of cases, they look like drow.
Zevlor is a good example of what I would have preferred to see. You improved his face but kept his red skin.
Hopefully this is not taken as being overly critical of you. I can only imagine how many hours you put into this and the work is incredible. This is your mod and you make it how you want. Just throwing out my perspective, as someone who has 600+ hours in the game, most of which spent in act 1, it would just throw everything off if I run into Alfira and she is no longer blue, but a white girl with horns.
Well, that's fine! The user is always right in the matter of taste ;) I'm not really into bright, contrast, and shiny stuff straight from Walmart when it comes to battered refugees in the wilderness :D
The game itself is very bright in terms of environment, effects, etc. So I prefer dusty, muted tones to balance it out and visualize the character's background ^.^
This mod isn't just about colors, it's also about faces and a different perception of the characters. There are 4 tieflings with the same face preset sitting on the same gate, and every third female tiefling you'll meet has Alfira's face. That's wild, considering it's the most repeatable stuff that people see in the game
For some reason, Untie Ethel is invisible if combined with Hajimare's NPC overhaul (I prioritize yours in load order since I love your redesign, and some NPC from Hajime; she's the only NPC that is invisible or broken). It took me sometimes to find her till I realized she was broken; I thought she was just gone somewhere till I hovered my mouse cursor at her shop, where she usually stands.
The thing is, I didn't touch Auntie Ethel xd So whatever happens to her shouldn't be caused by my mod. Check if you placed everything that Hijimare's mod is requiring to work in the right order. I guess something's missing.
I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever had any problems with the Tiefling that can~t move due to drinking a potion from Ethel in the groove? For me she shows up with no texture in the eyes. =/ Not a big deal since I imagine she's might not show up again in the future, but I just wanted to check. =)

Edit: I forgot to mention, when in a dialogue cutscene some textures do appear, but mostly just washes of color and not the full render. Zooming in does not produce the same effect.
Although it's most likely some mod that changes the textures, be careful with what you install and what order it's in. If someone else's mod rewrites the textures and it's placed below mine, then they could theoretically cause textures bugs
Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just formulating my initial thoughts here!
The new clothes (leather and steel armours, casual clothes, scarfs, arm wraps) are absolutely gorgeous and I love all of them! Thumbs up for this wonderful work! :)
If you're looking for a reason, remember that the events of the game take place within a multiverse, and under such circumstances, someone's appearance can be strikingly different ;)
Zevlor is a good example of what I would have preferred to see. You improved his face but kept his red skin.
Hopefully this is not taken as being overly critical of you. I can only imagine how many hours you put into this and the work is incredible. This is your mod and you make it how you want. Just throwing out my perspective, as someone who has 600+ hours in the game, most of which spent in act 1, it would just throw everything off if I run into Alfira and she is no longer blue, but a white girl with horns.
I'm not really into bright, contrast, and shiny stuff straight from Walmart when it comes to battered refugees in the wilderness :D
The game itself is very bright in terms of environment, effects, etc.
So I prefer dusty, muted tones to balance it out and visualize the character's background ^.^
This mod isn't just about colors, it's also about faces and a different perception of the characters. There are 4 tieflings with the same face preset sitting on the same gate, and every third female tiefling you'll meet has Alfira's face. That's wild, considering it's the most repeatable stuff that people see in the game
So whatever happens to her shouldn't be caused by my mod. Check if you placed everything that Hijimare's mod is requiring to work in the right order. I guess something's missing.
First of all thank you for the great mod!
I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever had any problems with the Tiefling that can~t move due to drinking a potion from Ethel in the groove? For me she shows up with no texture in the eyes. =/ Not a big deal since I imagine she's might not show up again in the future, but I just wanted to check. =)
Thanks for the reply!
