I have spent a lot of time modding BG3 (even spent a total of 3.5 hours trying to figure out why this didn't work on my husbands Tav) and I have figured out this mod is compatible on only some heads as most mods are due to surface area, looks like its completely compatible with vanilla, but it's semi-compatible with at least a few of the modded heads. I also figured out that the mod is almost completely incompatible within a mid-game-so if you installed this mid-game, it will most likely only work with a few select heads (from which I discovered at least 7 female faces from Faces Of Faerun).
Where to find data folder in BG3: THE EASY WAY Open Steam, find BG3 in your library, far right on the same bar that the play button is on, there is a little cog, click it and then click "properties", after that it defaults you to the General tab, find the INSTALLED FILES tab which is two below the General tab, in installed files click on "Browse". This button is directly below the "Installed Files" title header. This automatically takes you to the system files that has the bin, data, dotnetcore, launcher folders. (it will also show you the path how to get to the data folder and what drive it's saved on if you have multiple)
INSTALL THE SCARS ONLY: INPUT THIS FILE ONLY INTO YOUR BG3 DATA FILE data->generated->public->shared->assets->characters->_models->_sharedassets->shared_skin->resources->SKIN_Shared_scars_MSK
INSTALL THE MAKEUP ONLY: INPUT THIS FILE ONLY INTO YOUR BG3 DATA FILE data->generated->public->shared->UNIQUE_TAV->face->Skin_Atlas_Head_SHR_Makeup_A_MSK
Keep in mind that the makeup and scars are supposed to be used together in conjunction.
So you've deleted the makeup/tattoo/scar mods you have, and now they aren't working, and you don't know how to get vanilla back? Delete everything in the Assets folder which contains the folder "Characters" (and unique_tav if you have it (see title install scars only header for assets folder location)) and then go into the steam library, find BG3, on the far right on the same bar that the play button is on, there is a little cog, click it and then click "properties", after that it defaults you to the General tab, find the INSTALLED FILES tab which is two below the General tab, in installed files click on the "Verify integrity of the game files". If you don't know what this does, Steam will try to verify if all the files are present and if there are any missing files it will replace them, BUT DISCLAIMER AND WARNING it'll probably also replace any modified files. I have yet to find a mod that offers the original files. There is also a slight chance that after deleting the makeup/tattoo/scar mods, after booting up BG3, Steam will automatically replace them - this happened to me once so I can't say for certain if it would work. The BEST WAY TO AVOID THIS ENTIRE THING and possibly loosing all of your modified files is to download another mod in replacement.
Other notes - since this is a retexture of a core file it is extremely smart to make a copy of the original files - Since it is also a retexture the load order of things in BG3MM should not matter - If you update Unique Tav if you're using it, you have to reinstall this file and overwrite UTAV files again - Vortex is generally frowned on to install BG3 mods so avoid Vortex (a lot of mod authors do not offer support for this), download BG3MM instead - Also please manually install this mod, as great as BG3MM is, installing data mods with BG3MM offers a lot of room for a lot of errors
I am not a mod author, I simply just spend a lot of time modding. I have figured out a thing or two from modding, so hopefully this helps someone.
The textures of this makeup are quite specific, so I didn't make a replacer for them, because it would replace all the makeup in the game. But it is technically impossible to make a standalone version for scars :(
You can rename the makeup texture to Skin_Atlas_Head_SHR_Makeup_A_MK2 and place it in the game Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\_SharedAssets\SHARED_Atlas\Resources\
Mari, добрый вечер! у меня возник возможно оффтоп вопрос по моду, надеюсь ты мне поможешь) я наткнулся в другом моде, в примерах работ, на картинку с персонажем. Там явно использован Ваш мод, вероятнее всего этот, но у меня возникла проблема с ним: как сделать такую же подводку для глаз как у него?) я уже разобрался как наложить мейк на шрамы и тату оттуда нашел, но в базе там другая подводка в моде, как я понимаю) есть подсказка как он наложил эту подводку?) Мод прекрасен, лучший мейк и шрамы с тату, что существует на BD3, даже себе на тату идеи нашел новую, буду очень признателен, если поможешь мне разобраться) делал все с tav, просто не могу добавить другую подводку) я уже даже автору картинки написал в Австралию ахах Заранее огромное спасибо за помощь тебе!
Quick question, I'm attempting to install only the scars, and instead of a folder named "shared_skin" I have "SHARED_Atlas". In my resources file for it, I have a tattoo replacer file. When I try to place the scars folder inside it, and load my game, my scars are all the defaults. Is there a way around this?
So, these are stunning. But I have to ask if there are versions of these available as standard scars anywhere, rather than the metallic look of the Aasimar; not only do some of these look like excellent ceremonial scarring in general, but also some fantastic burn scar variety that the base game is missing
Edit: I looked through your page, turns out you have a lot of them converted! But not all, it doesn't look like? I've only seen the fourth scar in Option one in the Half-Illithid Veins replacer mod, for instance. So I suppose the question still stands
Макияж не работает. Я использую те же головы. У меня установлены Unique Tav Data и Unique Tav PAK. Я перепробовала все варианты макияжа и ни один не наложился на шрам. Я удалила файлы макияжа в папке с игрой и скопировала файл из мода - не помогло. Выкручивала все три ползунка на максимум, даже с бубном станцевала - ничего не помогло. Я перепробовала все 3 варианты мода, везде макияж от вашего мода "Mari's makeup", но ни один вариант не наложился на шрам.
Anyone know how this could be made compatible with the Solar Player Race mod? The scars show, but the corresponding make-up does not work. I can patch .pak files fine on my own for it, but since this one is just loose files I'm not quite sure where I'd even have to start. Or if it's possible at all lol
Edit: Gave in and tried the WoD Aasimar mod, but that doesn't work for me either. The scars and make-up function as intended everywhere else excepting on the WoD Aasimar race faces (in my case vanilla male half-elf head 5). Feeling mad stupid rn
For those who have issues with the makeup while using Vemperen's Heads, make sure you download the "Vemperen's Other Heads (Unique Tav)" version. I've been struggling for hours trying to figure out why I was stuck with the default makeup the whole time!
