📋 About This Mod

STAV Universal Automatic Patcher (UAP) automatically patches material entries for modded heads, making them compatible with Snailzx Tattoos And VTs (STAV) right out of the box - no individual patches needed from authors.

Simply add it to your load order and forget.

Why you need it?

Without UAP, if you're using STAV, you need to install author-provided STAV patches for each modded head, otherwise STAV's tattoos and makeup won't work.

You should expect some automatic body support to come from STAV itself; it won't be included here.

For custom heads, also check out my Head VFX Universal Automatic Patcher!

If you use Eyes of the Beholder, check out my EotB Universal Automatic Patcher!

(STAV should be compatible with EotB soon)

If you use custom races, check out my Race CC Universal Automatic Patcher!


Installation is the same as any other pak mod and can be performed with new and existing saves:

  • []In Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Manager, (or use Vortex at your own discretion), install/enable the Script Extender (SE) by clicking on the 'Tools' tab at the top left of the program and selecting 'Download and Extract the Script Extender'. Alternatively, press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+T while BG3MM's window is focused;[/]

    []Import this mod's .zip file into the Mod Manager, then drag the mod from the right panel of the Mod Manager to the left panel; preferably drag it after STAV (the game should do it automatically);[/]

    []Save and export your load order.[/]

    If you run into any issues, please provide detailed reports on my Discord server.

    Any issues KAVT UAP might currently have, STAV UAP will likely have as well. I'll try to patch both if new fixes are discovered.
