Summary:
"No Alphabets" mod pack ensures that the gender, sexuality and politics of world NPCs match medieval status quo.
It leverages the power of Voice AI to fix 1 major, 4 quest-related and 23+ minor NPCs. Where relevant, everything related to an NPC's identity have been altered i.e. appearance, voice, SFX, subtitles and how other NPCs refer to the target NPC.
Nearly 700 lines have been changed for the Ser Aylin Project alone! Character Creator has been revamped too!
These mods works perfectly in multiplayer.
P.S. Make your companions straight again with Better Romance

      Load Order
      1. IMPORTANT: Move NoAlphabets Aesthetics to the BOTTOM of the mod list.
      2. If something isn't working for you, move ALL the NoAlphabets mods to the BOTTOM of the mod list.
        1741573207295.png
      3. OPTIONAL: If you wish to give Aylin a permanent beard, you will definitely need BG3 Mod Manager, and set "BeardedAylin" to load after "Aesthetics".

    11. Go to File > Refresh Mod Updates.
    12. If upon refresh your mods end up on the right hand panel, repeat step 2 onwards.
  • Read the Troubleshooting Tabin case you run into issues before opening a support thread.

    ⤴4. Uninstalling No Alphabets

    It IS SAFE to uninstall No Alphabets at any point in your game.

    Uninstalling No Alphabets
    1. Go into BG3 Mod Manager
    2. Delete all the No Alphabets modules you added.

  • TROUBLESHOOTING:

    1. Naked people standing around in Character Creation
    • Install latest version of Mod Fixer[/url] - note: this is not needed since patch 7
  • 3. Can't speak to NPCs
    • You forgot to install .NET (not framework) as a part of your BG3 Mod Manager installation.
  • 5. Can't click on anything in game
    • You may need the install latest version of Script Extender. Note: None of my mods use Script Extender.
  • 6. Can't click on anything in game but I have installed all of the above!
    This may be due to either one of these reasons:
    1. You forgot to install Modfixer for BG3. - not needed since patch 7
    2. You are sailing the high seas and your game is outdated.
    3. You may be running your game on an older DirectX version. BG3 Mod Manager can cause crashes if you use versions older than DX11. Try using Vortex mod manager instead.
  • 7. How do I get rid of the message at character creation?
    • Install ImprovedUI
  • 8. My Beard Mod is not showing up
    10.What mod order should I have?
    11.NPC voice is female but body is still male / NPC voice is male but body is female sometimes?
    • Make sure to "Export Load Order" in your mod manager before starting your game.
    • Your mod loading order is incorrect. Lower down on list = higher priority. Put no Alphabets Aesthetics in the bottom of your list.
      1741573207295.png
    • 12.Graphics glitches/ flashing ray and tears coming off Aylin/ other NPCs
      • You are likely you are using BG3Mod Manage without DirectX11. Use DX11 or use Vertex mod manager instead of BG3MM
      • Can also be related to your game being an older version.
  • FAQs & RECOMMENDATIONS
