For anyone who wants a potential way to re-hagify custom heads, this is for you!

Despite the fact I'm the one who made this mod, I actually do personally find his grinch face charming. I just knew people were wanting a fix, and since it is a genuine graphical bug with a pretty simple solution, I did want to provide. I also couldn't resist trying to figure out the mystery, honestly jdfklds

But, for those who love his grinch face, and have been disappointed by the fact their custom heads de-grinchified him without knowing why, this is for you. I'm guessing the reason for that is actually because those replacement heads, even ones with small tweaks like ones changing his teeth, have actually added in the missing LODs already.

So, I'm going to put down the original LODs he has and the original export order, in case anyone wants to try to re-grinchify their own modded heads.

Keep in mind I've not personally tested this method of re-hagifying him (I didn't want to mess with anyone else's work for this, but if anyone wants to volunteer their model for testing, let me know!) But if adding the LODs fixes it, removing the ones he was originally missing could potentially re-grinchify him.

These are the meshes and LODs he has in his original model, with their export order:

  • Head - LOD 0, LOD distance 7.00, Export order 1
  • Mouth/fangs - LOD 0, LOD distance 7.00, Export order 2
  • Eyes - LOD 0, LOD distance 7.00, Export order 3
  • Ears - LOD 0, LOD distance 7.00, Export order 4
  • Tearline - LOD 0, LOD distance 7.00, Export order 5
  • Eyelashes - LOD 0, LOD distance 7.00, Export order 6
  • Eyeshadow - LOD 0, LOD distance 7.00, Export order 7
  • Scalp - LOD 0, LOD distance 7.00, Export order 8
  • Head - LOD 1, LOD distance 15, Export order 9
  • Ears - LOD 1, LOD distance 15, Export order 10
  • Scalp - LOD 1, LOD distance 15, Export order 11
  • Head - LOD 2, LOD distance 22, Export order 12
  • Ears - LOD 2, LOD distance 22, Export order 13
  • Scalp - LOD 2, LOD distance 22, Export order 14
  • Head - LOD 3, LOD distance 31, Export order 15
  • Ears - LOD 3, LOD distance 31, Export order 16
  • Head - LOD 4, LOD distance 0, Export order 17

He is missing the following LODs, which should be deleted when trying to re-grinchify him:


  • Mouth LOD 1
  • Eyes LOD 1
  • Eyes LOD 2
  • Ears LOD 4
  • Scalp LOD 3
  • Scalp LOD 4
Again, if anyone can verify this works, or would like to lend their model for testing, let me know!! I just thought having a reference for his original mesh and the LODs that he's missing would be helpful.


(Also, for anyone worried about Larian potentially fixing his face themselves, rest assured I've got his original model backed up to re-hagify him at a moment's notice. Your grinch is safe no matter what!)
