📋 About This Mod
Compatability
I highly recommend that you use Volitio's autopatchers for UTav/KAVT and Eyes of the Beholder if you use those mods. Since the autopatchers exist, I will not be making manual patches.
How to install with BG3 Mod Manager (I only use this and don't know how to use Vortex, sorry):
- place the .pak file in AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods
- open BG3 Mod Manager and refresh the page
- drag the mod from the right side to the left
- click 'save load order to file' and 'export order to game'
