[Baldur's Better Aesthetics] Floating cat head and other broken NPC visuals

[thedestroyer88]

For some reason, the cat in the inn is now a floating head? Any idea what caused this and can it be fixed?

[thedestroyer88]

Greetings. There's a halfling NPC in the city named "dont-call-me-runt" who's head is missing with only his hair showing. Is this a game glitch or something to do with the mod?

[loregamer]

Anyone using Albert's version run into this glitched NPC in the Iron Throne prison? I have a ton of mods so it might be something else but it's weird, she has no animations and some mesh glitch

Yeah I get it at random on random npcs. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it apart from the mod being installed.

I am not exactly sure, but were there any changes done to Sergeant Thrinn?
I have installed aesthetics mod way after I finished act one, but when coming back to it I noticed she doesn't have hands lol.
So I'm not sure if it's something to have with BBA version that I have, or that I have older patch installed or something else entirely.

Yes, I don't have Chris' version installed. It's minimalist one (cause in white I had npcs disappear).
But that's exactly why I asked if Thrinn was touched in the mod to begin with, because it may be a mistake / bug on my end instead of mod.

[SniperChris]

I don’t remember doing anything to Thrinn. I was originally going to make her bald but there is a dearth of Dwarf Lady faces and all of the Grey Dwarves were going to start blending into each other if I did.

Tell me please. His Majesty's cat has only a head. How can I fix this?

[Tipfy]

How can I fix this?

Have you try OrinEsque or AlbertHeinous version ?

version differences are; Orin's is the "same" but fixed, Albert's change even more npcs.

I'm using the OrinEsque version.

I'm using the OrinEsque version.

Have you been using Chris version before ? Maybe some of the loose files of it are still in your game folder ?

No. I haven't used Chris's version before. I started a new game with the OrinEsque mod

Last thing i think of that you could try, would be placing bba lower (more priority) in your load order ?

If it still don't work, sorry i do not know what else to try. Maybe @ OrinEsque, who's more competent in modding & also the maker of that mod.

A perhaps silly question, but still :-)

Does your mod change the appearance of cats, and does it require a new game if I want to talk to cats with bodies as well as heads?



The people who have created this game must hate cats for some weird reason... all cats look terrible. Even if only with a head this is so much better. :-)

EDIT: Ah, I see now I am far from the only one who has run into this enigma.
So, I installed Chris' (overriding/overwriting) version first - can I simply install Orin's using the MM, will that fix it?

Yes, use the minimalist or writer version. Sniperchris' version is outdated and has this bug.

[fkirenicus]

Yeah, I realized that - but a little too late. The overwriting mods are a bit of a hassle to sort out since I OF COURSE forgot to back up the necessary files, so I'll have to reinstall in order to make sure I don't bring this too far into my save games. Thanks. :-)

[fkirenicus]

Yep, had to remove the overwriting version altogether - which basically meant reinstalling. All good now, except I am left with extremely nasty cats again. Ah well. Hopefully someone that identifies as a cat cries out in outrage of cats in this game being so ugly, and Larian developers rushing to fix the problem lest they be accused of cat-transphobia or some such... ;-)

I just pretend it’s a magic cat.
