Is anyone else having trouble activating this for patch 7? I have it activated in Mod Manager but the game says it's not activated when I try to load it.
No longer works as of patch 7. It causes the modsettings.lsx file to reset itself every time you attempt to add it to the load order, causing the entire load order to uninstall.
I have just tested it and the reason seems to be the UUID (1d6ece6c-b9e1-430e-8263-BE-Batch1n2) is not a proper one. I have unpacked the mod, changed its UUID field to a new randomly generated UUID, repacked it and everything is working.
Now that mod support is official, the UUID seems to have a bit more importance than before, and all mods having custom values in this field may trigger the same behaviour from the game.
I've noticed so far after going through all my mods one by one, the only ones that are not working are all the race/class unleashed mods, better dual wielding, sneak attack with any weapon, backgrounds enhanced, and the achievement enabler.
oh, nice find with the UUID. But what do you use to edit .pak files? The encoding is slightly off for e.g. notepad++ Also, what's the rule for generating uuids? is it hex alphabet and that dashed format + the -Batch1n2 at the end?
As for UUID, they follow a open standard explained in this wikipedia article ; in few words it follow a random generation algorithm which (almost certainly) ensures that two generation requests always output something unique. Which means they can identify anything universally. There are several generators online such as this one : https://www.uuidgenerator.net
The -Batch1n2 at the end of this mod is not standard. I suppose the mod author took another UUID and made it unique by appending this string, which makes it indeed, but does not follow the standard, which should be groups of 8-4-4-4-12 (for a grand total of 32 bytes) hexadecimal characters separated by dashes.
Thanks guys! I was able to change the UUID. Now the game's own mod checker, when I try to load game, says something like "your save was made with the following mods that are missing: Backgrounds Enhanced" and then proceeds to list the Backgrounds Enhanced under newly added mods.
Well, needless to say I still get the 117 error after it tries to load the save, but it's probably due to any number of my other 30 mods :)
I might give up and download the "beta" release_patch6_hf9 Larian made available in steam for those who want to roll back. But this will re-download ~100 gb and reinstall the game :(
As the UUID changed, the game treats the two versions of the mod as different, but I think you can safely ignore the warning. The other errors should come from your other mods. Have you by any chance some of the "Better XXX" mods (like Better Hotbar) ? They were all updated recently.
Here is my mods list; marked some. But the easiest solution is this: I got my external harddrive where I had backed up the entire BG3 steam app & mods from last April patch. Copied that in, set steam to offline mode, and now I'm free to continue my existing 100% working patch 6 BG3 playthrough, thank Tymora, no more bollocks.
Maybe in a month or two, we'll have sorted out whatever Larian did for 7 and have proper ways to debug and guides :) It might be we'll be forced to start a new campaign for patch 7 due to modded save files...

Is this due to this mod or another mod? I was playing solo as investigative sage at the time.
