[MOD REQUEST] Unlocking Illithid powers for hirelings (and other companions)

[Velocifero]

Simply unlocking the Illithid powers system for companions that are not infected with the tadpole, I'd be eternally grateful.

Unfortunately this just gives all the powers and doesn't unlock the ability tree. One of the major drawbacks to this is not getting the benefit from Cull the Weak.

If any modder is interested in working on this mod, I would be interested in paying for it. I have not been able to find a solution through other mods or even the cheat engine.

UPDATE:

There is a console command:

SetTadpoleTreeState(GetHostCharacter(), 2)

 

That works for unlocking illithid powers for hirelings, but for some reason it does not work on Jaheira. The Tadpole tree no longer say 'not available' however I still can't spend tadpoles for powers. I have tried removing the "TADPOLE_POWERS_BLOCKED" tag and adding the partial ceramorphosis tag, however still can't spend tadpoles.

 

If anyone find a way to add tadpole powers to Jaheira, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks.

it's been a while so i'm not sure if you still need a fix to this but with my mod you can add some of the tadpole powers https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6917?tab=files

Thanks so much for replying, unfortunately, similar to the tad pole powers mod, it just adds the ability to use the powers without adding them to the ability tree so they don't count for Cull the Weak.

If you have any suggestions to offer, this post describes where I'm at trying to get the ability tree unlocked for Jaheira. There seems to be some additional code restricting her from unlocking the ability tree that isn't on companions for example. I would greatly appreciate any help you might be able to offer:
