📋 About This Mod
Universal Pose Patcher
This mod patches your installed pose and expression mods so that they show up in Photo Mode.
Simply load it alongside any number of pose and expression mods and it will patch as many of them as possible.
-
[]As of version 1. 0. 2. 0, patching has been rewritten and this now patches 99+% of pose mods perfectly.[/]
[]A list of supported creature types can be found here. If you are creating poses or expressions for something not on this list, please reach out to me and I'll see if I can add support.[/]
[]The last pose mod / pose patch you have in your load order will always show up as intended, as it would have without this Patcher.[/]
[]Load order for the Patcher itself is irrelevant, you can put it with all your other SE mods.[/]
[]This Patcher will never remove any poses or expressions from Photo Mode, only add them. It does not conflict with any pose mods or patches.[/]
[]Pose categories will be in the same order as your pose mods in your load order. If you want them sorted alphabetically, you can use Photo Mode Category Sorter.[/]
Compatibility
Almost all pose mods will work perfectly with this Patcher, even if they haven't been updated to include support. For an easier time knowing which ones work, a mod having either of these images on its page means it is compatible and will work properly anywhere in your load order.
These should not differ in terms of functionality. The only difference is that I have personally tested any mods with the golden version.

For Mod Creators
For full compatibility with the patcher, all you have to do is make sure your AnimationSet overrides are either in your mod's default package (the one named after your mod), or in the original package structure (you clicked "keep the same package structure").
If you for some reason moved your AnimationSet overrides to different packages, or created your pose mod without the toolkit, you need to either have matching ShortName and Animation names, or add an extra AnimationSet to your mod in which you set all your ShortName -> Animation relationships in the DFLT subset like you would normally.
Universal Pose Patcher automatically patches pose and expression mods so they display correctly in photo mode. A utility mod for players who use multiple pose mods and encounter compatibility issues. With 157 endorsements and 3,474 downloads, it's a niche but useful tool for photo mode enthusiasts.
