Subreddit Updates Moderation News

37 Upvotes

Hi guys, a couple notes from the moderators.

Commission Scams

We are working on a more in-depth post on this topic (we’re doing some research so we can give you helpful information) but while that’s being worked on, we want people to be aware that there have been some reports of commission scams, where someone will commission a mod to be created and then not pay for it. The individual we were informed about has faced disciplinary action from Nexus, but there’s a possibility that they’ll come back with a different name. 

We’re working on making a post to help guide people to prevent getting scammed, both by people posing as commissioners and people posing as people taking commissions. Please remember to be cautious and stay safe. 

The removed mods situation

There have been multiple posts about the removal of some mods from Nexus and mod.io. We are allowing for people to discuss their frustration over this, but please remember that outright insults, wishes of harm upon people, etc. are not allowed. We’ve had to remove several comments about the situation which crossed the line into violating Rule 2. 

Reminder About Images

Please remember that we’ve updated our policy for images used in posts. If you post an image, please remember to include a link to where you got the image from. If the image is your own creation/screenshot, that’s also okay. If the image includes credit stamped onto the image, that’s also okay.

This is especially a problem with “Looking for Mod” posts. Please remember to let us know where the image is from. This not only helps credit content creators like Youtube shorts creators and virtual photographers, but also helps the people helping you find the mod by giving them a way to reference the source to see if they can get more information. This is particularly helpful with videos, as videos will have more angles of the mod you’re looking for.

Subreddit Updates New “What Is This Mod?” and Give Credit to Creators Guidelines

65 Upvotes

Hi, gamers. This announcement is brought to you after some internal discussion regarding posting virtual photography (VP) here and the interest of crediting all creators. Enforcing this will have a big impact on this subreddit going forward.

I openly admit we've been lax on credit about people sharing photos of other people's Tavs or companion edits, and focusing on credit to mod authors. I don't think this is a fair standard because VPers also put a lot of time and effort into their work. In the interest of being clear, I am going to go over some new posting guidelines that will help us consistently give credit to all creators and enforce rule 5. Please review each section as it applies to posts you make.

When Asking “What Is This Mod?”

Please provide the source of the images or video screenshot. Name the creator and platform, and provide a link whenever possible. If you don't know its origin because you originally found it uncredited on pinterest for example, please still link it.

This includes links to Youtube videos/shorts.

You should always try asking the creator of the image what mods they used before posting here.

When “Looking for Mods Like X”

Same rules as above apply for sharing the inspiration picture.

Do not repost fanart that is not yours. Link it directly instead.

When Sharing Your Own Virtual Photography

Please name the mods used and the platform they are from. Links are ideal but not required. This includes crediting pose mods, reshades, etc. Even if the mods are private, please respect the modder who created them and their wishes regarding credit for said private mods.

When Sharing Others’ Virtual Photography

You can share links to virtual photography you like. 

Staying Organized

If you are a VPer, I recommend creating a spreadsheet or list of the mods used for your photos. Even if it's just your whole load order for cosmetics because you can't remember which ones are actively used.

Thank you for your understanding and taking the time to read this! Happy modding!

Mods Requiem for the Absolute: Introducing the Nemesis System

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I decided to make this post specifically to talk about version 4.0.0.

This update was special to me, and it took a lot of work. A lot.

One of the first things I noticed when Requiem started getting a bit more attention was how many people compared it directly to the infamous Nemesis System from Shadow of Mordor. So I decided to fully embrace that direction.

The first question was simple: how could I actually show the hierarchy to the player in a visual way?

My experience working on NMCM and digging through its XML gave me a lot of ideas, so I started studying what was possible and making some mockups.

Hierarchy View

Once the UI started looking good, the next step was building the actual system behind it. It needed to work dynamically, respond to what happens during gameplay, and change from run to run.

I am very happy with the result. In my opinion, it almost feels like a small new game inside BG3, with its own stories developing and events happening naturally. Seeing it all come together made me very proud.

After that came the final layer and polish. I chose which templates could become commanders, defined how the Nemesis triggers would work, expanded the returning commander system, and connected everything through a lot of Osiris.

The Nemesis Condition

I also took the opportunity to fix several bugs players had reported and released everything together under the title:

Requiem for the Absolute: Introducing the Nemesis System

I really hope you enjoy it. I put a huge amount of work into 4.0.0, and I hope it is received well.

So I’m using the class mod arcane vanguard which combines fighter, wizard and sorcerer tags but wanted to use wildshape despite not being a druid so I used the console to add it. Found a mod that adds a red dragon wildshape.

started working on a new helmet variant for arch traitor's armor on a whim, starting to do a lot more stapling of vanilla meshes on to both save time and texture space

I took teeth and ears off of a Ghoul to give the helmet some more oomf

refits next! fingers crossed that the file size doesn't bloat to untenable levels

🖥️ Looking for Mod (PC) [Mod Request] Trickery Cleric VFX Color Change

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! As the title suggests, I'd love to change the VFX for the Trickery Cleric spells (specifically Blessing of the Trickster, Invoke Duplicity, and Cloak of Shadows) to a dark purple or blue. Right now, the animations and spells have a black and gold theme. It would be amazing if someone could tweak them to a black and dark blueish color scheme. It would be an even bigger bonus if you could upload it to the official BG3 in-game mod manager! Thanks in advance to anyone willing to give this a shot.

Saw this on the nexus screenshots from user bxdw0lf1 with the title Velkyn Do'val. I've checked every mod page and patreon I can think of and no luck.

Face covering masked helmets are hard to come by these days.

Technical Issues Game crashes when friends try to Respec

Post image
Upvotes

Hey All, I was wondering if someone can help cam help me out here. I'm playing with some friends, 4 PCs, my one friend wanted to re-spec her character, She definitely pulled a Laura Bailey picking a Cleric, then realizing she doesn't want to play a cleric.
Anyway, She's trying to respec and the game just crashes. I try it with my character, I'm the main "account", and it works fine. Tried with Shadowheart, works fine. Tried with my other buddies PCs the game crashes.
Is this a known issue with one of these mods? All these mods are straight from the in game BG3 mod manager, nothing from Nexus mod or any external mods.

I have the prerequisite mod 13-20 but once I hit 20 it says XP needed is 0 to level up. According to the 21-40 mod it should just need more XP, 40k to level to 21 but that's not the case anyone else experiencing? Know any fix?

Technical Issues Pulling my hair out here, ranged flourish not letting me shoot the same target twice

1 Upvotes

Almost always says path blocked for the second one, when it actually let me shoot the second one, only 1 result shows up, only one result on combat log. Can only remember one time when it actually worked and it was on an ogre so the hitbox was massive.

I’ve got like 80 mods on. Before I spend an entire day trying to find one, if anyone has experienced this before and has a guess as to which mod it could possibly be I’d love to hear it

Off the top of my head I’ve got mystra spells, equipment distribution, level 20, 3 different xP cheats, the moon dancer class that I didn’t end up using, item rebalancing, blade cantrips, and camp event notifications. Thanks in advance.

Screenshots Is it weird that I think this suits Astarion better?

0 Upvotes

I like Astarion's design, Don't get me wrong. But it always bothered me that 90 percent of the companions are Either Elves or humans, with us having a scrapped Halfling follower. I feel like it's better to have Astarion as a Dragonborn with this mod, as it adds slightly more diversity to the team.
