📋 About This Mod
UT/KAVT Universal Automatic Patcher (UAP) automatically patches material entries for modded heads, making them compatible with Unique Tav / Kazstra's Virtual Tav right out of the box - no individual patches needed from authors anymore.
Simply add it above UT/KAVT in your load order and forget.
-> No more waiting for compatibility patches. No more manual patching. Just install and play.
Why you need it?
Without UAP, if you're using UT/KAVT, you need to install author-provided UT/KAVT patches for each modded head/race.

If you use custom races, check out my Race CC Universal Automatic Patcher!
Thanks again to Jerinski for the help with initial testing and identifying edge cases, Kaz and Astra for UTAV/KAVT guidance, Norbyte for the Script Extender, the folks over the BG3 CMTY Discord server for testing the pre-release version, and of course my deepest gratitude to my supporters on Patreon!
