📋 About This Mod
This mod is a Framework, if using the files a note most of them will not work without this mod. Please only use the files you are editing, if you include files you are not editing this will cause conflict with mods that are editing those files.
What is this mod?
This aims to be similar in vein to Unique Tav but instead for the Companions. On it's own it changes nothing on the characters themselves. This has to be done by modders.
Originally this mod was going to be on the same page as Unique Companion Equipment however after talking to some modders we decided it would be better as a separate page. Due to:
-
[]different functions of each mod one being equipment based and the other materials/textures for the face and body[/]
[]mods wanting to use UCE won't necessarily want to use UCA and vice versa. [/]
[]alleviate any confusion for users when the mod would be linked as a requirement.[/]
With permission of the Eyes of the Beholder modder this mod page now includes a EoTB patch.
Due to being a framework it is not on this mod to patch for other mods and due to this being made a few months into release not all mods might update for it. That is okay and please don't pressure anyone to use this as a base.
I however will look into patching for some mods, just not a guarantee if that modder is no longer active.
I updated my Halsin's Salon mod page to support this mod. Including options I made for testing this mod such as unique hair and eye colour and a beard.
Compatibility
Sadly due to having to edit the CharacterVisual entries for each companion this mod is not compatible with other mods that edit these files. At most they usually only include one, however some might include all entries.
So best to load this mod at the top of the list anyway since it is a framework and is otherwise made to be overridden.
As of 25. 12. 25 the mod has been separated to per character to try and help even more with compatibility with other mods, especially if you are only wanting to use a mod that patches for UCA Shadowheart only as an example.
This will mostly effect characters who I have to give unique Eye, Hair and Skin colour options to. Such as Halsin, Minthara, Jaheira and Minsc. For the others it will only override the unique entries for things such as unique atlases for tattoos and makeup, private parts, beards and any others I add for more modular modding.
Who and what is currently covered?
Since this mod as a base does not aim to change how the characters look by default, it only provides the files and possibility to alter these files by other mods.
