How to start out editing NPC in Baldur's Gate 3? I think this is the tutorial video I used to start out: LINK
First you'd need to install the BG3 Toolkit. It's available via Steam and GOG. Then you'd need to 'unlock' it with this mod: Moonglasses Then you should be good to go watching the tutorial and edit your first NPC.
Editing them is done like this: Left-click NPC (green frame appears around it). In the sidebar (left side), search for 'Portrait Visual Resource'. There is a little dropdown menu next to it which should read 'none'. If not, it's a bit more complicated since a template gets loaded. But let's skip that for now, since in most cases it should read 'none'. Click the button with the three dots next to the dropdown menu. -> Character Editor opens in new window. This is where you can edit the NPC to your hearts content. Left side you see categories like head, body, horns, hair - you can even add other categories and mix and match to your liking. Right side find the 'Properties Explorer'. Click 'Presets' to find the 'color settings' and edit skin, hair, equipment, tattoos, scars and the like.
Hope this helps you get started!
How to edit NPC with custom-made heads, hair, body, horns etc, made by other modders? I fear I don't know yet. No idea how to load a mod as dependency of another mod and seeing that other mod's assets in the toolkit. Wish I knew. I saw a dependency option somewhere in the settings, but it didn't do anything for me when testing. Maybe made some rookie mistake. Also had no luck searching the web so far. Feel free to let me know if you find out. :-)
There is a problem with Komira skirt. When you get close, it goes crazy and is messed up. I removed all mods except this one and it still happens. I even started a new game just to test it. It might have something to do with cloth and physics. Might be easier to change her from a skirt to some pants if it can't be fixed. She also doesn't have the same skirt and blue shirt from the screenshot.
So I just made a her this way manually:
Great mod though. The tieflings feel more varied and realistic.
in my last play through it worked. Then something broke my load order and set all mods inactive... can't even rememebr where i had which mods on the list.
Now i'm trying to make everything work again. But this mod doesn't work anymore. NPC all still have the vanilla look. Does it need any special place in the load order?
This looks amazing! I have to ask about Nadiras hair though, is it a mix of different hairs or something that you made yourself? I wish I could give that to my Tav, cause its so gorgeous!
at first i was a bit adverse to a couple of the redesign choices but after doing a quick test run and getting to the grove i was like "oh wait actually this is way better" so great work! take my endorsement :)

NPC clothes / armors are kinda... painted on the body.
