📋 About This Mod

PATCH 8 COMPATIBLE: YES

Jewels: please contact me so I can hand off this update to you! Thank you (:

Jewels' Discordant Instruments is my personal favorite of their mods, and IMO their absolute best one. It’s a beast of a mod, adding over 100 pieces of equipment that are so immersive and well-done, they just belong in this game. It’s a must-have for me. But a big mod often means big bugs, and I’ve encountered a number of them in my time playing with this. Unfortunately, the last update Discordant Instruments received was over a year ago. (You could say BG3 has changed juuuuuust a bit since then.) It’s time to get it back up to speed!

This mod addresses a number of outstanding issues with Discordant Instruments and functions as a replacement, not as a patch. This update will get handed over to Jewels if/when they return to modding. All UUIDs are intact so there shouldn’t be a problem with updating saves mid-game. Existing translation mods are 95% compatible, save for some text corrections and new additions I’ve made.

Why Patch 7? Because instead of finally updating my game to Patch 8 on my dedicated weekend off, I got the flu. 👍 While I can’t personally test for Patch 8 compatibility yet, I did try to account for various Patch 8 changes. Officially tested as of the v1. 4 update!

Here’s what this update adds:

  • []Better Patch 7+ compatibility by cleaning out ModFixer[/]

    []Fixes for many passives that were broken or never fully implemented[/]

    []QoL changes, like reducing combat log spam and improving trinket synergy[/]

    []Damage rider sanity checks à la Honour Mode[/]

    []German translation (thanks to Verdanndi!)[/]

    []Text corrections and additions[/]

    []A desperate attempt to fix an issue with some boss trinkets not dropping[/]

    []NEW: Patch available to remove class and deity restrictions on trinkets[/]

The full list of fixes is in the changelog above. For a more general overview of what Discordant Instruments entails, please see the original mod page.

⭐KNOWN ISSUES⭐

⚠️ Script Extender is still required as it handles the item distribution. Moving everything to Osiris scripting IS possible now, but that requires 1) rebuilding the mod in the toolkit and 2) testing if the toolkit can distribute items mid-Act/to corpses like SE can.
⚠️ Bards who successfully Perform an instrument will immediately have Perform interrupted by the 'Catchy Tune' status. Just Perform again and you'll play like normal. Fixing this likely means overwriting the StatusDoesNotInterruptPerform() Khonsu script, AKA not worth it. It's just 1% more annoying to get your Busker cheevo, sorry. If this really bugs you, use the optional No Catchy Tune patch to remove this entir
