I just want to say thank you to everyone in the BG3 modding community. BG3 has now entered the top 20 most downloaded mods on Nexus, and ImprovedUI has reached over 1m downloads!

Patch 3 just dropped, and with it the magic mirror UI. This has reorganised a lot of the CC files, and the new version of ImprovedUI is required to support it. Even with a new version of ImprovedUI, I've found the following:
new saves (with or without mods) = magic mirror

SOME old saves with active mods = no magic mirror. Cutscene doesn't play, which points to an issue with old saves and story scripting. Mod fixer isn't to blame here, and might be an issue with old saves on patch 3 in general. This may also be related to the saving error code 516.

old save with no active mods (including ImprovedUI) = magic mirror. This means that (if possible, might not be based on what mods you're using) any old saves with magic mirror issues should remove active mods, make a new save without active mods, then add mods back in to get access.

As per the install instructions, ImprovedUI overrides base game files and does not need to be listed in your mod order, just placed in your mods folder. Saves with this setup would therefore be unaffected.

Larian have done a lot of other changes, so many that UI has its own dedicated section in the patch notes:

I'll add the optional files here once I've gone through and tested them too.
