Do i need the other versions installed too? My tabaxi is just naked in camp lol

Dashinati

I dunno if you're still about but just wanted to say that this mod slaps. Even though there are some unfinished elements I really hope that one day you get back to this and finish all the aspects you wanted. the quality, the polish. Impeccable. Thank you.

Realis

But it looks way worse.

i know this is something to say, but i would love to have the NSFW option on the tabaxi mod

There is a new mod made by someone else available on Nexus, AND it is approved to be in the game's built-in mod manager. Really hope all is well over here, but because Cobalt hasn't even given an update to their situation, I will link the alternative mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/16733

8 months without any news, I'm sorry but I can't continue to support. I will support again when there is at least one answer. earning $2500 a month in subs without producing anything, or even responding to people who support, sorry but I can't. I hope you're doing well.

Hadynpark

Hope your doing okay.

Serophous

Hi! I was just wondering if this mod was still being worked on (it seems complete to me) and if it would be added to the BG3 mod shop for easier download. Thank you!

Draken Stark

I ended up finding this mod, which exists specifically as a mod that updates the original mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/15485

Fell

same

Ted

Hi there, are there any additional mods required for this to work proper? Looks like the subrace icons aren't working for me.

Unrelated to the Tabaxi mod, but since this is pinned I hope you'll see it easier: With the recent Cyberpunk 2077 update to 2.2, is there any chance of you coming back to the Exotics mod? I don't know if it's made anything incompatible, I hope not, but I haven't been able to check myself. Plus it'd still be really nice for at least one of the joytoys to be modded into an Exotic. c:

Dedewhale

Fyi. Shart's parents become, Tabaxi race in the Shar Temple. I didnt install the version with her as a Tabaxi, she is still an elf

Ryan hall

why i shadow heart a taxabi

Grimic

shadowhearts a tabaxi how do i revert that?

R3DPAND4RNGR

i absolutely adore this mod! Are there any plans to be able to edit the fur color? For example a neon-red tabaxi or a plum-colored one? Outside of that, i've been having a blast with thats available at the moment.

Erick Powell

Just found a Cat Eyes preset for the Eye of the Beholder mod that adds the cat pupil option!

Eduardo Mucino

I'm happy to announce that it is entirely possible to beat the game with this mod on Honour Mode post Patch 7.

Russell Hewett

Id love for your next project to be fallout 4, there is furry mods out for it now, but I think your furries would look better

Jasper LaChance

Will you ever consider adding the canine models for characters like you have in Cyberpunk 2077? Would be absolutely awsome

Erick Powell

Thanks for allowing me to play my favorite 5e character in BG3, a Tabaxi! My personal wish list for tweaks to potentially consider: a head shaped a bit more like a Russian blue house cat (more triangular ears, moved up a bit, shorter snout and wider cheeks)... Since you've made so many eye variations, could you craft traditional cat eyes with the diamond shaped pupils?

CobaltOwl

Thanks for letting me know- I'll see if I can find a way to fix that before the public release.

Seth Wiggs

It seems its not possible to uninstall the Shadowheart component of the tabaxi mod midway through a playthrough. Her appearence will revert, but you can't change her mechanical race once she's designated a Tabaxi which is kindof frustrating.

Pnuemon

Quick question-- do you plan to apply for the closed beta next month for Patch 7's new modding toolkit? It may make the development of BG3 mods a LOT easier-- I think your work in particular would be perfect for testing the new kit. If you do apply, I hope you get accepted into it!

CobaltOwl

Not pushy at all, afaic. Thanks for the support!

IntoTheOlliverse

You’re totally fine, don’t worry about it! Like I said I understand life happens, and I just wanted to know if you were ok. Sorry if my comment came off as rude or pushy at all 😅 Thank you again for the update, and for your amazing work!

CobaltOwl

Thanks for the concern, and sorry again about vanishing- it's been a pretty hard month or two, but avoiding posting anything was definitely not a reasonable way to respond to that. I will keep you guys more in the loop in the future, and hopefully get the next update completed soon.

IntoTheOlliverse

Any updates? It seems like the last time anyone got a response was 2 months ago. I understand that creating a mod like this must take time, and obviously external circumstances can hinder progress, but its been months without so much as an "I'm still alive/ still working on this" post. I dont want to come off as pushy or impatient or anything, I'm 100% willing to wait as long as it takes, I just want to know if CO is ok and if they are still working/ plan to continue working on this.

Natsil

A furry mod on Enshrouded will be really cool XD

Anthony Stuart

I'm getting worried too, nothing on reddit, patreon, nexus, FA... I'm not impatient or anything, I'm happy to wait as long as necessary, but concerned now

Mike

Has anyone heard anything? Now I'm getting worried as well.

pokemorph

definitely concerned for their well-being.

(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ purin

Are there any updates? Its been months since you posted :( You doing okay?

Quince

Same, they have no social media presence at all so its hard not to worry when everythings dark

WuffyCerulei

How is progress on the mod? No worries if you need more time. This is a whole remodel and whatnot. Just a little worried after not hearing anything for a good while.

IMGNR

Ong i would

William Gerrettie Jr

I've never used this mod but this is currently available on Nexus; https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6838 (Choose Your Size)

Kris Colwell

Will we be able to make smaller versions if that is a possibility? Not sure if that just means another mod that modifies sizes.

Alex Dull

I would drop a little extra for a Tiger option

William Gerrettie Jr

Absolutely loving being able to play my tabletop Druid Tabaxi in BG3, thank you! IF this mod doesn't change at all you've already made my year. If you do add more options (subraces/breeds) I'd like to humbly suggest Egyptian Mau. This might be impossible but it would be cool if the three chanels for hair color worked on the body hair too.

NetherHyena

Yeah i know. you'd think that with there already existing the mouth animations on other dragonborn npcs that it'd work better. i'd just rather romance a furry/scaley and i'm kinda annoyed there isn't a dragonborn companion

Abraham the Heavy

you can already turn karlach into a dragonborn by using the appearance edit enhanced mod, the problem is that dragonborn characters use different animations than the other races so karlach facial animations get all broken up when you do that

NetherHyena

if you're gonna be turning Shadowheart into a Tabaxi could we maybe also bother you for turning Karlach into a dragonborn? it kinda sucks we don't have any dragonborn to romance and she's kinda the best character for it

Alex Dull

I would definitely support a tiger option

Sir Southpaw

Love this so far. But I'd it just me ot do the eyes not move? It's a bit uncanny

Fox Firestrot

thank you so much!

CobaltOwl

Very nearly done. I'm just trying to fix a couple of particularly difficult bugs, and should be able to post the female update as soon as those are resolved- hopefully later today or tomorrow.

Fox Firestrot

am so excited, cant wait for the female version! any news about it?

(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ purin

I am SO in love!!! I'm testing and wow this is already fire, even tho it isnt even finished yet

CobaltOwl

I mentioned at one point that I hoped to release in April- which is still possible, depending on how difficult the Shadowheart and other NPC changes turn out to be, although it may also have to be pushed back to May.

Navier

Whaaa it comes out next month?! I don't recall Cobalt saying that.

Mereel

Hey just letting you know if you didn't already, congrats on getting your reddit post stolen for a ScreenRant article! Still super hype for the mod and seem like others are too. https://screenrant.com/baldurs-gate-3-dnd-tabaxi-mod/

Jonathan Howard Bowles

Yay Looking forward to testing em

Jonathan Howard Bowles

yes but the buttons show up as blank for color options and such

CobaltOwl

I'm still working on the female Tabaxi, but the appearance thing may be a bug. Are you able to select the "Edit Character" button for male Tabaxi and change the eye color and hair style?

Mike

You're awesome. I literally can't thank you enough for doing Tabaxi. Fantastical Multiverse is amazing, but the lack of kitty is so disappointing. You rock.

CobaltOwl

I've finished the female head and body model, as well as the modified pants models- I now mostly just need to finish up the code changes for all of the game's outfits to support the new models. I think I'll be able to release an update with female Tabaxi some time next week at the latest.

Mike

here to shamelessly beg for female model types sooner than later lol

Jonathan Howard Bowles

same here.. Though doing a power gaming playthrough dark urge atm :)

Jonathan Howard Bowles

I been trying your mod, so far can't make females, or change appearance even though I have improved ui mod

cheeseguy3412

I am waiting to play Baulders Gate 3 until this mod is further along - I want my first playthrough to be with a Tabaxi :3

Forest Ferret

Just subbed because Tabaxi are my favourite D&D race and yours look incredible! Would love a short tail option in the future for bobcat/ lynx types. Amazing work! :)

Ryloth

Thanks!

CobaltOwl

Thanks! Yes, I have a donation link over at: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cobaltowl

Ryloth

Hi, I just subbed because of what you do. Thanks for this stuff! I try to play tabaxi-like races basically everywhere ... love them! Do you have a donation link like a buy me a coffee or something? BG3 is something I majorly look forward to playing as one of these. :)

CobaltOwl

I'm working now on some alternate fur textures that will be selectable in the character creator- at least a couple of which should be ready in the next update.

Goku Smith

Can you change the fur color? Or is that going to be in later editions?

CobaltOwl

I'm going with sort of a small cat theme initially- ocelot, Siamese, standard issue cat, etc. A lynx/bobcat skin would be challenging, since I'd need to make a new model with the long cheek fur- though that's definitely a possibility worth considering; it would add some interesting variety to the options. The initial version of the mod probably won't include big cat skins- although I might add those in later depending on interest.

Zavity

Will there be a tabaxi tiger or bobcat? I'm so excited for this!

CobaltOwl

Thanks! A lot of games these days have pretty great modding communities with a lot of tutorials to help people get started- for example, BG3 has a wiki of tutorials at: https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Modding:Creating_mods. The best way to learn is just to set a very simple goal like modifying one texture or gameplay element, and follow tutorials and forum suggestions until you can do it, then move on to more complicated goals. Even with the best communities, there will still be times when you hit a brick wall- where nothing seems to work and nobody online seems to know why. But if you're willing to just put on a good audiobook and spend a weekend or two chiselling away at it- trying every possible approach to fixing the issue- the wall will pretty much always eventually collapse, which can be a very satisfying feeling.

Navier

You are amazing CobaltOwl. we need more modders like you out there. I'd love to learn but I have no clue where to start or how you figure it out to replace models in other games like this. it's all alien to me but I know enough it would take a while to learn all of this. on top of that your models are looking better by each mod that comes out. Easy night and day comparing this to the Xcom2 models. which looked good but this... this looks amazing.
