📋 About This Mod

Are you tired of using trial and error to find out if a clothing mod will fit a certain BT character? Me too! This mod assigns additional tooltip text to most vanilla and modded armor and clothing (and some other wearables) to show the body

Compatible Bodies Tooltip

Adds a Compatible Bodies line to armor and clothing tooltips in Baldur's Gate 3. When you hover or examine a wearable item, a new line shows which races and body shapes that item is designed to fit.

What's new in v1. 4

  • []Shorter, readable labels. Every body label is now abbreviated. The longest possible Compatible Bodies line drops from 382 characters to 218 — a 43% cut — without removing a single body type. On a widely-compatible item the old line wrapped across several rows of the tooltip; it no longer does. Full key below.[/]

    []Bigger bundled coverage. The pre-baked modded-armor data was rebuilt against a much larger mod set: Ultra Fashionista now covers 649 mods / 9,061 items (was 624 / 8,798), Essentials Plus 593 / 9,005 (was 569 / 8,743), Fashion Essentials 294 / 7,482 (was 284 / 7,283).[/]

    []Upgrading from v1. 3 needs nothing extra. If you already generated a cache with the v1. 3 sidecar, v1. 4 shortens its labels when the game loads. You do not need to re-run the sidecar for this change.[/]

    []Elves no longer go missing on very old caches. If your sidecar cache predates the Elf/Half-Elf/Drow fix, Human-compatible items were labelled plain "Human" and elf players saw nothing on them. v1. 4 repairs that at load time as well.[/]

    []More mod authors credited. 154 named authors across the 649 bundled mods, read from each mod's own meta.lsx.[/]

    How to read the tooltip — abbreviation key

    Start here. As of v1. 4 the body labels are abbreviated so the Compatible Bodies line stays short enough to read at a glance — a fully-compatible item used to run 382 characters and now runs 218. This chart is the whole key:

    Body types

    • []Human/Elf — the Human body, which Elf, Half-Elf and Drow characters all share[/]

      []Human Str — Human, strong build[/]

      []Elf/Drow — an elf body declared on its own (the Human body is not declared)[/]

      []Half-Elf — a Half-Elf body declared on its own (the Human body is not declared)[/]

      []Tief — Tiefling · Tief Str — Tiefling, strong build · Tief Karlach — Karlach's unique Tiefling body[/]

      []Gith — Githyanki[/]

      []Dragon — Dragonborn[/]

      []H-Orc — Half-Orc[/]

      []Shown in full, never abbreviated: Human · Dwarf · Gnome · Halfling[/]

      Gender & build suffixes

      • []M — male body[/]

        []F — female body[/]

        []Str — strong build[/]

        Compatible Bodies: Human/Elf M, Human/Elf F, Human Str
