Mod not working properly:

1. Description of issue
-When I remove the No Alphabets Aesthetics mod everything works normally. When it's activated, any scene cut scene or not with Ser Aylin has graphics glitches or flashing rays and tears coming off him (see screenshots).

2. Screenshot of your mods and/or mod manager.















3. If you've dropped loose files in the Game's Data folder, please tell me where and for what mod.

I don't really know what you mean by loose files, but here's screenshots of the mod folder in the game and the Appdata mod folder.

Btw- Maybe it's the version of BG3 as well as I haven't updated it since I started modding. Currently on v4.1.1.376xxx

So, I updated the base game to the latest version and all the graphic glitches went away and everything appears to be working great. I tried it using DX12 as well and it worked normally with mod manager. The only thing that has problems is getting Aylin's beard to show up now. His face and voice are male etc, but even with the latest beard mod in the highest priority he's still clean shaven. Fine with me though, he still looks and sounds male. Thanks Alot and I found your donate button!

I should probably do a proper search before asking, but when I have some free time after I retire I'd like to get into making these types of mods in my spare time. I'm hoping by then they'll be an open-source AI training model available that I can just upload an asset file and tell it "make this less gay and lame" and voila! In the meantime though are there any concise guides or resources for the necessary skills and such or is the process too specific for each individual game?

Thanks again and Cheers!

I'm always down if you want to post links. If anything it helps others who have more free time right now.
How did you change the faces so well though too? I have some introductory experience with game development but never had the time get gud with apps like Blender and adobe and such, which is why I'm hoping in the future the tools will be there for something like a stable diffusion to just load assets and then tell the LLM what I want to do with it.
Same with tracking down where the dialog choices are in games like bg3 to change/altering dialog trees and plot tags. It seems like you have to reverse engineer an entire game and I don't even know where you begin. Like it would be fun to mod in an option where when you play as a cleric and you could attempt to force convert NPCs in cutscenes and such and make a Deus Vult Crusader playthrough. Or for those games where they force you to make a really lame choice or the choices have no real consequences, make them into ones that do. Or even something so basic like when you kill an NPC merchant he actually drops 100% of whatever he was selling instead of just a few random items.
Anyways, I'm rambling as I barely have time right now to just enjoy a game as it's created and modded by others. It would be nice though to have the skill path laid out there for more people to bone up on so they can make more changes to games.
