📋 About This Mod
This mod page is for any patches I make. Currently it is for Patches_for_VFX_Heads
What is this mod?
The only patch maintained as of 05/09/2024 is Patches_for_VFX_Heads
However Patches for CC Races has been updated for Patch 7 mergedinto, I just won't probably be adding new mods to it.
See why below:
As of Patch 7 Patches_for_VFX_Heads is the only one I am continuing to add new content to until it is no longer required to do so.
The reason for this, is there is now a more compatible method for adding content to the Races.lsx. It is called MergedInto.
If you are a modder and are interested in updating your mod so it works with the new MergedInto feature and/or Toolkit I made a guide Converting our Existing Mods to the Toolkit + Some Tips. I also suggest this guide Compatibility Changes in Patch 7: Merging a once over. Along with the other guides available for the toolkit.
This article now covers all the previous patches. Which can be found under optional in the files section.
The Patches for CC Races will now only be maintained for fixes and removals of mods from it. However that version will be Patch 7 only. If on Patch 6 please stick to the previous patches for CC Races.
Mods updated for Patch 7
Here is an article on mods that were covered by the Patches for CC Races but have updated for Patch 7 and no longer need the patch to be compatible with other mods

[]This mod only patches for the visual effect files that custom head mods need to add their heads to in order for effect like Speak with Dead to work and make the eyes glow.[/]
[]Only required if using one of the head mods from this article[/]
[]This will be in the override section of your mod manager and can remain there.[/]
How do I install this mod?
Place the .pak in your `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods`
Please use either BG3 Mod Manager or the new in game mod manager to enable your mods. You can also use vortex, but due to one I personally don't use, I can't help troubleshoot any issues you may run into.
Thank you for your understanding.
