KAVT - UT - Tattoo Outfit Patch

** STATE OF THE MOD *

Current version is 1. 1. 0, one single main file (big performance update, replaces both old files).

With 1. 1. 0 out, this patch is basically feature-complete and stable, so don't expect big new features here for a while. It is NOT abandoned: I'll keep fixing bugs and answering questions, my main dev time is just going toward my other projects (like Spellforge) for now.

Also, since a few people have asked about the new Outfits Dummy Auto-Patcher (UAP) by Nzx: from everything I've seen they run together fine, for tattoos we both end up writing the same values. Their mod covers more appearance stuff (skin tone, freckles, etc.) and more frameworks, while mine is tattoo-focused and also handles outfits with custom materials that theirs can't patch.

Use whichever fits your setup, or both!

I appreciate all the feedback. Let me know if anything else comes up and i'll be happy to help!

If you post about something (in posts or bugs) please include what version you're running*

Description

Unofficial compatibility patch contains no files or assets from KAVT, the CC Body Tattoo Selector, or any other mod. 100% original Script Extender code that runs purely at runtime.

If you use KAVT (or Unique Tav) with the CC Body Tattoo Selector, your chosen body tattoo shows on your naked body but disappears wherever an (incompatible) outfit renders skin (cleavage windows, hip cutouts, side slits), and it's missing from the inventory paperdoll, photo mode, and cutscene close-ups.

Installation instructions

1. Install dependancies (Duh).

2. Download this file and add it with BG3 Mod Manager like any other pak.

3. Load order: anywhere after KAVT

To remove: delete the mod. It writes nothing to your save and simply returns vanilla behavior. Safe to add or remove mid-playthrough.

Main features

- Body tattoos from the CC Body Tattoo Selector render on outfits, the inventory paperdoll, photo mode, and cutscenes (Any surface your character appears on).

- Fixes every outfit at once. No per-outfit patches, no armor-author action needed.

- Any tattoo design and any atlas (even custom ones). This works for pak-installed or loose-file (loose-file is the tested setup, and this covers the "loose-file tattoos not sticking" issue reported since ~Patch 7).

- Strictly per-character: everyone renders their own tattoo and nothing leaks. NPCs, corpses, companions and scene characters are never painted with your design.

- Pure Script Extender runtime: no assets, no file overrides, nothing written to your save.

Known limitations:

- Covers body tattoos routed through the KAVT/UT + CC Body Tattoo Selector system. Other tattoo frameworks (e.g. Rogue Tattoo, Character Creation Overhaul) are not tested but they MIGHT work depending on how they are set up.
