It's this one:

This mod is driving me up the fucking wall. It works, then it does not. And I have no idea why, it's a simple texture override. For what it's worth, it appears that updates to various interface mods (ImprovedUI and paulk's various mods) have a 50/50 chance to make this mod stop working. But it makes no sense, the UI mods are modifying completely different parts of the game. Specifically, it's the No Scars part that stops working randomly.

I tried messing with the mod files (add to load order, remove from load order - it technically doesn't need to be in the load order because it's a straight override). Tried extracting the loose files and placing them into the BG3 folder structure. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It makes no goddamn sense. Can someone who actually understands how to mod this daft game help me out?

I phrased it badly (perhaps). "Random" refers to "today I updated a random UI mod (i.e. one of paulk's), and Karlach looks like a badly done steak again." Updates to other mods randomly seem to cause this. Also, I know exactly what you're referring to - the original scar removal mod had the issue whereby Karlach's scars would reappear randomly throughout the session. Not this one though, it either works fine or doesn't work at all.

Here's the funniest bit though. I resolved it (for now at least) by extracting loose files into the game's folder structure. And it worked. Definition of insanity - try the same thing twice and expect a different outcome, right? except in this case the outcome is in fact different.

I don't know what to make of this.
