Finn Jo's Subrace Mod

[WiseGrimwald]

I am wondering if anyone knows if this rather old mod is compatible with EE and SoD. I rather liked it when I used Tutu.

From what I can find online, players have been using Finn Jo's Subrace Mod at least as late as 2019-2020, so I guess it should be working in general. One thread in 2019 mentions a bug because of that mod. But any search is complicated considering the links are not available.

What seems to be working 100% (and supported) is this mod:

Subrace mod

New Subrace mod. There is a choice when creating a character. Various UIs are supported, only multiplayer and pre-character creation are not supported. Viconia, Baeloth, Haerdalis, and Corgan have subrace effects added. https://github.com/tipun81/Subrace-mod/releases

I know about the bugs and have found workarounds for most of them. The effect of daylight on drow was one that I couldn't fix. I'll have a look at that new one.

I find the new Subrace mod promising, but the writing needs polishing and there is some room for improvement (which I listed in the mod thread at G3). But I definitely keep a close eye on it.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. (I'm still working on my installation and am getting further with EET than I have before.

Good luck to you. Big installations with clashing mod issues are way more frustrating than any in-game challenge could ever be.

I actually got as far as installing the EET End for the first time ever. I will now uninstall it, install about 20 mods, and check the install end works before adding more. It seems to be a case of "slowly, slowly catchee monkey." That's fine. Even the failed installation was informative as I discovered what is out there, good, bad, and indifferent.

Now my anti-virus software is clashing with my installation.

 

[Antimatter]

What Antivirus product do you have? Where do you have the game installed to (C: or D: or something else)?

 

[WiseGrimwald]

Problem solved. I have uninstalled Avast. Installed Defender, and reinstalled EET on my F DRIVE.

InfinityLoader is on my Taskbar and works fine.

I now have to copy my installation in case anything goes wrong in future, uninstall EET END.
Add further mods.
Reininstall EET END.

My installation was not quite so ambitious as my original attempt, but is pretty good. I never did find out which mod was spoiling the installation as I've dropped half a dozen which might have been the culprit.

All links to FinnJo's subrace mod appear to be dead. In the old version if your character was a tiefling it made your character look like a tiefling in Candlekeep, but when you left it no longer did.

However a new one is now available at https://github.com/tipun81/Subrace-mod/releases
It is written by tipun and is EE compatible.
It is very similar to the old Tutu version but doesn't give as hefty a hit on your experience.
I haven't tried it though.

As for new races and subraces, you can check a newer mod, Talents of Faerun, from the author of Sword Coast Stratagems. It's still labelled as beta, but I think it's already ironed out a lot since its first release.

Thanks: Very useful!
On that link I went to: "ToF: Races and Subraces."
On that page there is a dead link when I went for further information.
I was saddened when I discovered that: (Planetouched creatures count as human for the purposes of multi-classing and class choices.) i.e. No multiclassing.

Here is the page with race and subrace descriptions.
