Hey guys- I need to apologize again for the long delay between updates. The family health thing is still taking up a good bit of time, though I think the main crisis has passed. Definitely hoping to get back to a normal update schedule- there are far too many games out there with a shocking lack of playable anthro characters to let up now.
This 0.4 update adds a couple of new fur options, and includes a second mod file that can be optionally enabled via the mod manager, which turns Shadowheart into a tabaxi with a tuxedo cat fur pattern. Let me know what you guys think of the look- if there's demand, I can add an alternate option for Shadowheart's appearance.
Note that Shadowheart's portrait only changes on level up, so the game will likely show her as elf initially until you gain a level- still looking for a work-around to fix that. The facial rigging is also still not quite as good as I'd prefer, due to technical issue- though apparently, the official BG3 modding tools are about to be released publicly, and those may provide a solution.
The final 1.0 version will be coming up soon- either in the next update or the one after that. That will include some additional tabaxi NPCs and tabaxi-themed objects, and may also include some tabaxi dialog for Shadowheart. I'd actually been considering contacting Shadowheart's voice actress to ask permission to use an AI version of her voice for the mod, though apparently she's been pretty outspoken against the use of AI voice cloning, so that's most likely not going to be an option. Still, I think the mod can definitely benefit from some dialog edits, even if they have to be silent.
Once I release the 1.0 version to the Nexus, I'll be posting a new poll for which game to mod next. I'll be taking suggestions on which options to include, so if there are any games that you'd really like to see with anthro characters, let me know.
As usual, you can download the new version below. The installation guide is at: https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Modding:Installing_mods, and note that this also requires the mod at https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/141
