📋 About This Mod

Update 1. 3

Fixed for Patch 7 update (and works with Patch 8 too)

Hopefully it works for you.

Please issue a bug report if AutoVeils doesn't work, as I don't have the game installed and will need more info to fix it.

Enhance your Tav's look with a new accessory: veils! With physics!

Veils of Faerun offers several choices of veils (both in terms of model and textures) tailored to fit every vanilla race and body type.

The choices will appear in the Tails slot or in the Beard slot in Character Creation and Magic Mirror (depending on which version you download), and can thus be worn alongside any kind of headgear (though it might clip through).

Please read the Compatibility section below to know how to make Veils of Faerun work with other mods that similarly add CharacterCreation options, and read the Issues section to know more about limitations.

You also have the possibility to customize your veils' colors through simple code manipulation. A tutorial on how to do that is provided further below (I swear it's super easy and takes no time!).

As always, your Tav screenshots are welcome!

Install with BG3 Mod Manager: drag and drop the archive into BG3MM, drag the mod from the right to the left to make it active, click on the Save load order button up top and you’re done.

Please note that I can’t help you with any Vortex installation because I don’t use it for BG3 myself.

This mod requires Improved UI: ImprovedUI ReleaseReady

You should be able to update the mod mid-playthrough. Make sure to delete the mod permanently before replacing it with a new version to avoid issues.

You can also update the colors mid-playthrough without issue, although you need to visit the Magic Mirror to update your player portrait with the new color.

Select the None option in the Tail slot in the Magic Mirror, save your game, close your game and delete the mod. That’s it.

The game will tell you the next time you try to load your save that Veils of Faerun is missing, you can go ahead and continue.

If the next time you use the Magic Mirror you can't press Confirm, however, it is advised to reinstall the mod and keep it in your load order as a workaround.
