A quick note as this is happening while I'm on vacation: I have tested this mod with patch 7 and it functions fine. If using the in-game mod manager it won't have a thumbnail and may have a little ⚠️ next to it due to being third-party - this is fine! It's only because the mod hasn't been remade with the toolkit yet :)
The version requiring Trips Accessories will also work as long as you have that mod as well, which I also tested, it works.
Using a modded head and experiencing floating piercings or similar jank?
..it's an issue with the custom head itself, to be specific the "skeleton" of the head. There are "bone" placements for piercings which designate where piercing X will show up. What my piercings list and the vanilla list do is say "activate 'Fang Earring' for bone 'piercing_lobe_a_l'". For custom head sculpts the head mod author needs to manually adjust these piercing bones to the right place or they will appear to float (because they are still in their old, vanilla position).
So long story short, there's not much I can do on my side regarding that.
Options:
Contact the head mod author and ask nicely if they are able to adjust the skeleton. Mind you this isn't all that easy to do.
Contact the head mod author and ask nicely if they mind you doing that yourself.
Make a piercing set with the worst offenders simply removed and call it a day.
If you're ever bored, there are combos in this that I would love if they had no face piercings. If you added these as an option, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only grateful one :)
Hello, this is a very nice Mod! i want the piercing on the 13 screenshot in the bottom middle. i have installed standalone with trips and i have it working but i do not find that specific set. i dont have the recolor mod that is mentioned in the screenshot but i dont care the color for now, atfirst i want to find that set :P
i though "with trips" just adds new sets to choose from or does it override some like this for example?
Hi sorry I didn't get back to you! Image 13 bottom middle is from "Standalone - Piercing Edits". It looks like you just got the "Standalone - Piercing Edits - Trips" file. Don't worry you can have both installed at the same time! The set you're looking for is near the beginning of the list, called "The Pointy End"
So I am getting a weird option called "color pick" on some piercing options. I know it's supposed to be like a bright gold (Not like Ghouls piercing recolors gold which is more dull). I have these mods downloaded. Standalone piercing edits-trips, trips accessories, ghouls piercing recolor-gold, and ghouls piercing recolor-core. I don't know what's causing the issue. Would appreciate some help :)
Hi, I'm on mobile rn so linking is difficult, but if you check the description of my mod for "looking for recolours?" there's a link go Ghouls Piercing Recolours. all you need to do is grab the CORE file + any one of the additional colour files (the gold one, for example).
So you will have minimum 3 files installed: Piercing Edits Ghouls Piercing Recolours - CORE Ghouls Piercing Recolours - GOLD
Hello! i've been trying to make a custom set using the instructions you've uploaded but idk if its something with the new patch- when i pak the mod and put it into the game it replaces *all* text with NotFound. i've double and triple checked my work in the localization folder and it's still a .loca.xml file when pak'd then unpak'd, the name of the file does change but i'm not sure if that's an issue (changes to _MT_GEN_LOCA_<string of numbers and letters that seems unrelated from anything else>) am i.. missing something here? edit: tested this a few more times, that just happens any time the trip's accessories mod is in my game at all, it's an issue with his i believe, sorry lol
Is there a way to have all three color options (gold, silver, black) instead of installing the specific color file from Ghoul's? I don't want all my piercing options to be gold but the combinations are only showing silver. Just wondering!! Thank you for an amazing mod <3
Am I able to use your tutorial to combine piercings from Simple Piercing Sets and Trips Accessory Collection? I just want the simple nose ring from SPS and a single simple snakebite from Trips to be used together, but I've never made or edited a mod before and I feel INCREDIBLY dumb when I see tutorials start talking about editing what looks like legit just code (like yours does).
If it helps, quite a few people have said they were able to make a set without having any experience in that sort of thing. Don't worry, all you are doing is some copy/pasting, you got dis :)
Okay, so I read that as a 'yes', but how do I find the info for the ring in SPS I wanna use to paste into the text file you provided? Like for what I wanna do your tutorial is kinda missing some steps, I think (or they're there and I just missed them).
I don't think I have yet, but if I have (or as a pre emptive apology if I do), sounded rude or anything, it basically amounts to me having executive dysfunction reeeeeally bad. Like if I'm trying to do something I have no experience with and don't have *really* clear step by steps telling me EXACTLY what to do, it's nigh impossible for me to figure it out myself, and I just get frustrated and throw a bit of a hissy fit cuz it's like "I SHOULD be able to get this, but I just don't!". I'm kinda already reaching that a little bit just from the little I've delved into trying to do this so far, so....like I said, I know it can make me come off in a bad light. Just wanna put it out there that it's not really directed at you or personal or anything.
Hello folks! Have any of you tested this mod in tandem with "Piercing Edits" by Jelinski ? (https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2001?tab=description) it basically creates vanilla combinations of existing assets and I'm curious as to whether anyone has tested the functionality of this mod's physics on the new sets created by Jelinski's mod. (Before I start fumbling around and finding out)
Hey! I think you meant to post this on Noira's Piercing Improvements :) Anyway I can answer because I use both, you should be using Noira's file "Piercings with Physics - overrides vanilla" and every piercing which Noira has added physics for will have them (note not all have been finished yet)
afaik load order doesn't matter, however I have Piercing Improvements before Piercing Edits
Yes !! that's exactly the mod I was referring to (must have mixed up my browser tabs xD) Thank you for answering regardless. I am a big fan of your mod !! The Crimsonhilt Driks & Bard Rings combo has never left my Sword's Bard and whenever I make a new Playthrough I make sure Piercing edits is in my LO, most of my Tavs have one of your sets on them.
So I'll take this opportunity to thank you for your work ^_^
Sorry if this is a dumb question, im not very good at modding and am just starting, but is there a way to get the trips piercings different coloured versions that isn't the ghouls recolour mod? tysm !!
edit: never mind, i think i figured out where i was going wrong. sorry.
