TealRabbit's Masculine Body 1 Races (TRM1R)

Description

After a lot of tinkering with my original (trans)masculine body mod for use with Unique Tav, I decided to create fully-fledged races with custom visuals, complete with TWO new options for equipment races, for a few reasons, primarily seamlessness of integration. No more need to create new, standalone armor pieces just for Tav! Also, good news for people who play with nudity turned off: no more misapplied nipple covers! And finally, the personal reason: My two main OCs for BG3 are a pair of twins, one of which uses TRM1 and one which does not. The only way for me have both their bodies display correctly at the same time was for them to technically be different races with different visual coding. Now that multi-tav runs are easier than ever thanks to Padme's mod, I wanted others with similar multi-tav backstories to be able to do this too, without constantly worrying about whose Unique Tav files were installed for which scenes, etc.

This race's Body 1 and Body 2 are visually identical. Both are based on vanilla standard Body 1. TRM1 Races Body 1 uses fem outfit visuals wherever applicable, and Body 2 uses masc visuals. Pick your body type based on which of these options you prefer, that is the only difference between them! But if there's one particular outfit you really prefer the other option's design for, don't worry - I've reimplemented the TRM1 Refitter to make standalone alternate-visual versions! Just combine this item, which is automatically added to your inventory at game start, with the relevant vanilla outfit. The vanilla outfit is NOT consumed by this process! This will result in a copy of the outfit with "(TRM1*)" appended to the name, this version will show fem visuals on the Body 2 equipment race and masc visuals on the Body 1 equipment race. In the case of vanilla underwear, it will also create a second item: "(TRM1Fb)" versions,  Fem bottoms-only underwear visuals for both body types.

Elves/Drow have separate textures from Humans/Half-Elves, so there's actually a little bit more room for texture customization than Unique Tav in that sense! I've also built in inherent compatibility for STAV, no need for any extra patches there. All races will use the STAV _F_ Body Scar mapping for their vanilla race.

In the optional files there's also a pak that will change Lae'zel to use the TRM1 Githyanki body and equipment race. This will conflict with any mods that edit her CharacterVisuals entries, but please feel free to make personal patches as needed!

For modded outfit refits set up to work with these races, please see the TRM1 Races Mod Refits page.

For modded races patches, please see the TRM1 Modded Races Patches page - and if you're a race modder interested in making a TRM1 version to go with these, please get in touch! I would love to expand the lineup!

And if you use AkElkA's amazing Clawstep family of mods, be sure to grab a version of their Lazy Armor Patch from the linked page!

Installation Instructions

The main file contains everything you need to start playing. It's a pretty big file, so do know it might download and install a little slower than you're used to. Do not use any of my older TRM1 for UTav files while playing with this mod.

All the optional texture variants are in the second file, reformatted for easy drag-and-drop installation, along with a small ReadMe.txt explaining the different options.

TEXTURE VARIANT INSTALLATION:

Inside the folder are four major subfolders, one each for Humans(+Half-Elves), Elves(+Drow), Tieflings, and Githyanki. Inside each Race folder are multiple texture options folders, numbered and abbreviated for neatness. Nested inside each of these numbered options is a Public folder. Copy/paste or drag and drop this Public folder into your game's Data folder.

For Humans and Elves, there will also be a Generated folder under each numb
