📋 About This Mod
Update - v1. 5 - February 16th 2026 - Bug Fixes and Updates
Implemented a number of bugfixes for both KAVT and KAVT NVP
- Fixed incorrect scarring options displaying on certain NPCs (both)
- Fixed dummy bodies included in modded outfits not displaying Glow Tattoos correctly (both)
- Fixed Priestess Gut's face display issues caused by her using the wrong shader (both)
- Fixed Tattoos and Makeup disappearing on zoomout (both)
Scar Atlas Update
Similarly to the Tattoo and Makeup atlases, the Scar atlas now needs to be included in Unique Tav patches.You can find more detailed instructions on what needs to change in this article. We are sorry, but it was necessary.
We recommend using Volitio's Universal Automatic Patcher with KAVT.
This patcher eliminates the need for head-specific Unique Tav patches and already includes patching for the Scar atlas change we introduced with v1. 5.
Using this patcher will significantly reduce the size of your load order, allow you to use head Mods that don't inherently support Unique
Tav or KAVT on their end, and allow you to immediately use KAVT v1. 5 without needing to wait for patches to be updated.
