Jovi Merice's Body Missing - Possible Mod Issue?

Good evening, everyone!

I finally, finally finished installing a large number of mods to replay DAO, and I launched Leliana's Song, only to immediately run into an issue. :pinch:

 

During the opening cutscene, the narration shows your 3 tasks, 1 of which is to go after Jovi Merice, shown beating on a door somewhere in Denerim. However, only Jovi's head appears ( :huh: very disturbing), while his clothes are simply no longer there. I couldn't find anything about a known bug with this man, so I am working from the assumption that I have downloaded a mod that isn't playing nicely with him.

I couldn't find anything in my mod folder that referenced Jovi; I think it may be a clothing issue. From his picture on the wiki, it looks like some type of noble clothing or, at the very least, not the normal commoner gear. I don't think I have anything affecting noble wear, but that's why I am hoping to find the name of the clothing to search for any files altering it. Trouble is, I don't know how to find out the name of the clothing he is wearing though to determine if I have a mod that overrides it. Therefore, I am reaching out to all you amazing folks, who know far more than I, in the hopes that y'all might know of a way to get this information.

Thanks in advance, everyone! :smile:

He's wearing gen_im_cth_nob_am1.uti - unfortunately the DLC files are encrypted so it can be hard info to find. The cause of invisible bodies is usually an item variation ID conflict or that the character is dressed in clothes that don't have a model for that race/gender combination.

 

Unless you've got a modded version of him where he's wearing something else, he should be wearing a default outfit, which means neither of the above issues should be the case. To see if you've got a modded version of him installed, check to see if you have a file called lel100cr_snitch.utc.

Valerie, my friend, you are a genius!

There was indeed a modification for lel100cr_snitch.utc included in Improved Atmosphere. I couldn't find any noble wear mods, so I had a sneaking suspicion that a big mod, like IA, might be the culprit. I hadn't tested it yet, particularly since I couldn't find any files referencing him. I wouldn't have guessed that the "snitch" file was Jovi!

Thanks to your brilliant reply, I found the conflicting file, removed it, and his body is back! You are so awesome! :thumbsup:
