Transformation into Companions and NPCs - Ring of the Metamorph
About This Mod
This mod gives you the Metamorph Ring, which will give you transformation skills for many, many NPC characters and companions. Now the whole long rest lasts!
The rings are sold from several merchants in all acts. I removed the ability to wear them on a new character to avoid problems with other mods.
Any other mod that changes the visual effects of companions should be compatible with this! This mod applies only to visual character patterns.
Known Issues:
NPC characters will not be stripped
In some scenes, there are problems with models being too far away (e.g. in Will's scene with two female characters) or having strange angles. The best results are using the transformation of one body type - as in the Will scene, use the male middle body type for Will.
Some first-act characters will no longer work in subsequent acts - for example, the human form of Ethel, Kaga, and Nere. I guess that's because the game doesn't load these characters after the first act, so they have nothing else to show.
Some scenes have problems with "mixing" the character models - for example, in the scene with Astarion at the beginning and the next morning, Astarion will be painted in the wrong colors, but during the novel itself the correct model will be displayed. Mizora's scene does not replace Mizora, but instead paints her. In the Shadowheart romantic scene, the character's hair will be white in the first game, but this will be corrected later.
Some animations are not available for all body types - for example, a dancer in Sharess' Caress works only with an average female body type, and Haarlip's proximity animations do not work with any of the transformations I tested (masc medium body and masc strong body).
Dammon will have duplicate rings - I may be able to fix it, but it may be helpful to someone at the same time.
Similar transformations are sometimes grouped - they must work normally, but this may disrupt the normal order of transformations (in alphabetical order from top to bottom).
This may not be a problem for some people - they become naked when the NPC changes from an above-ground world to a companion.
New add-on 2.0.2: Using "Invisibility" makes the character naked/freezes him/does nothing - use his "Metamorphosis Undo" skill on it and try again. It's a very fickle skill.
Installation
Put RingOfMetamorph.pak in C:\Users\(*User*)\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods and install it using BG3 Modmanager. I can't promise that it will work in any other fashion manager, and I won't allow this mod for Vortex directly.
It should not matter where you place this mod in the boot order.
ModFixer is required for proper operation. I removed it from version 2.0.1.
