I made this mod because I went into BG3 totally blind just a couple weeks ago, with no prior experience with the series and its lore. Since I'm already completely lost when it comes to the lore, I thought it'd be fun to just play that way and do my first playthrough as an isekai in the vein of GATE or Forgotten Ruin. Also, Palmaman33's gun mods need some modern equipment to accompany them, so I figured I might as well learn how to make mods so I could do it myself.
There are 12 items in total: 4 helmet variants, 1 hat, 1 scarf, 1 pair of gloves, 1 armor, 2 camp clothing sets, and 2 pairs of boots (technically 1 pair, just with armor and camp variations) which are all added to the tutorial chest. I did add some boosts and passives to most of the items, but I didn't do any testing when it comes to balancing so I can't guarantee that they aren't either over- or under-powered.
IMPORTANT: This gear only works for male human characters using Body Type 4. I made this mod for personal use so I didn't set it up to fit any other races or body types. There's also some significant clipping with most of the face options, use the maskless versions of the helmet to avoid that. I'll release the blend files for the armor later so anyone can modify the meshes to fit the other customization options.
