[Update 1.5] NPC Redesign (The Emerald Grove) New: • Gimblebock's Group (Wither's Crypt Bandits) • Shadow Druids • Addons — optional files: OG Faces for Kagha & Rolan Changed: • Aradin's group now goes separately from the Tiefling Refugees • Fixed bug with Arabella textures on Mac (she has new horns) • Significantly reduced Tieflings file size (-19MB)
Don't forget to tap those buttons if you appreciate my work!
Well hello ^.^ This project required significant work in its development, and just as much effort went into getting it ready for publication. I would be very grateful for all your feedback!
The Idea For most (not all) of NPCs, it's all about: — less cartoonish skintones and clothes; — more harmonic color combinations; — more unique features and small details; — significant reduction of visual repetativeness.
This mod was created with the intention of giving each character a visual personality that depends on the situation they are in, their voice and the lines they speak. There are still a lot of corners to be smoothed out and a lot of NPCs to work on, so a lot can change over time ^.^
FAQ:
Will there be a version with each NPC seperated into single files? Very unlikely. For technical reasons it would require an extremely unreasonable amount of effort and time, considering how many changes have been made already (just open the spoilers below xd). However, I do plan on releasing updates in the form of small groups of NPCs.
What reshade are you using, can you share it? In general, this is a basic film grain with a slight softening of the yellow color towards pink, a slight reduction in color contrast and a vignette. Can't share it now for some technical reasons (like export settings are broken), will work with it later.
Hey i really love your redesigns and i wanted to make my own mod that gives npcs new clothes but i had a bit of trouble with things not working sometimes... Is there a good tutorial you can recommend or could you outline the process you used in order to reclothe npcs and what pitfalls to avoid?
The toolkit needs more than 32 GB of RAM to run comfortably. For most NPCs, the process of changing visuals is simple: you go to Resource Manager, sort by Character Visual, find the NPC by name and preview, make an Override (so that they appear in your folder), and customize what you need in the editor window. Padme4000 made some basic guides on this, you can search on YouTube
is there a way for me to get the armour changes for the tieflings but not the morph changes?? i love this redesign but ive kind of found myself missing the "cartoonish" skintones, especially when playing a tiefling who is equally cartoonishly coloured. i'm willing to try my hand at doing that myself if its too much work but i'd just like to know how possible it would be before attempting :)
is it possible to separate just the clothing edits? I lovee the coherent recolors, yet I'm still used to the tieflings faces especially their colorful whimsy skin tones lol
Oh well, thats alright! I do like to add another suggestion, it would be lovely if Halsin has matching look to the druids in the grove- perhaps something similar to the companion better starting gear you have done
so.. i know several people have asked. but just for the sake of giving some input. love your Alfira design, in fact all of your designs. but in regard to alfira, i noticed loading your mod below "Alfira joins the party" resulted in her having her default appearance, so i switched their positions in the load order and presto! alfira with a different look, but recruitable.
or so i thought. don't really have any bugs to report, the mods seem to play nice enough. but one thing i notice which a little amusing: Alfira has the look you gave her, but her default clothes SPECIFFICALLY on the level up screen.
i figured it was noteworthy enough to comment, maybe insightful for a patch (be that either from yourself or anyone else reading) anywho, keep up the good work, i've downloaded pretty much all of ypur mods and will continue to do so, man do you pull some heavy lifting in revitalising this game!
you can unzip the mod with modders multitool and remove the visuals lsf files you want to keep vanilla File root:Aza_NPCre_TheEmeraldGrove_74cb2214-5ddb-8fa6-9f6b-1f9be9bba6f3\Content\[PAK]_CharacterVisuals You need UUIDs I provided above. Their names are different from the names in the game, but it's not hard to tell who's who Like Kagha is S_DEN_DruidLeader, and the file you're looking for is named <0774cbd6-d405-bfbf-4b75-0d4681f83f69> Alfira is Bard and BrokenBard (two files) and so on
Sorry to bother you again, just wanted to make sure I properly install the mod.
The "All-In-One Emerald Grove" doesn't include Shadow Druids, Wither's Crypt Robbers, and Aradin's Group, right? I downloaded the latter two to install alongside the "All-In-One" file and that should be okay, right?
Also, are the Emerald Grove Druids and Tieflings separate .pak files the same as the "All-In-One"?
P.S Sorry for the double comment, my internet lagged T_T
I think where the confusion is for me is that I can't find some character's file names. For example, if I wanted to delete your edit of Lia from the "All-In-One" file I would use BG3 wiki to find her UUID and then copy paste, search it among your sticky post, and find that her file name is <b56ffb32-acf6-5bc6-dc73-5948aa951e35>.
BUT, I couldn't figure out how to get that file name for Olodan or Pinta, as their UUID's and file names are not on the sticky post. So, I had to unpack the Shadow Druid file separately through the Multitool and then copy the name of those files and delete them from the "All-In-One" file (I still don't know which file corresponds to which Shadow Druid).

myself missing the "cartoonish" skintones, especially when playing a tiefling who is equally cartoonishly coloured. i'm willing to try my hand at doing that myself if its too much work but i'd just like to know how possible it would be before attempting :)
Mod is safe to uninstall mid-through if that's what you're worrying about
or so i thought. don't really have any bugs to report, the mods seem to play nice enough. but one thing i notice which a little amusing: Alfira has the look you gave her, but her default clothes SPECIFFICALLY on the level up screen.
i figured it was noteworthy enough to comment, maybe insightful for a patch (be that either from yourself or anyone else reading)
anywho, keep up the good work, i've downloaded pretty much all of ypur mods and will continue to do so, man do you pull some heavy lifting in revitalising this game!
I wanted to keep the vanilla appearance of some NPC's (like Kagha, Cal, Lia, Alfira, for example), and was wondering how I can achieve that?
I am looking forward to using your Sharran NPC edits, but there are few NPC there as well I'd like to keep the vanilla look of.
File root:
Aza_NPCre_TheEmeraldGrove_74cb2214-5ddb-8fa6-9f6b-1f9be9bba6f3\Content\[PAK]_CharacterVisualsYou need UUIDs I provided above. Their names are different from the names in the game, but it's not hard to tell who's who
Like Kagha is S_DEN_DruidLeader, and the file you're looking for is named <0774cbd6-d405-bfbf-4b75-0d4681f83f69>
Alfira is Bard and BrokenBard (two files) and so on
The "All-In-One Emerald Grove" doesn't include Shadow Druids, Wither's Crypt Robbers, and Aradin's Group, right? I downloaded the latter two to install alongside the "All-In-One" file and that should be okay, right?
Also, are the Emerald Grove Druids and Tieflings separate .pak files the same as the "All-In-One"?
P.S Sorry for the double comment, my internet lagged T_T
the emerald grove is the name of the mod
I think where the confusion is for me is that I can't find some character's file names. For example, if I wanted to delete your edit of Lia from the "All-In-One" file I would use BG3 wiki to find her UUID and then copy paste, search it among your sticky post, and find that her file name is <b56ffb32-acf6-5bc6-dc73-5948aa951e35>.
BUT, I couldn't figure out how to get that file name for Olodan or Pinta, as their UUID's and file names are not on the sticky post. So, I had to unpack the Shadow Druid file separately through the Multitool and then copy the name of those files and delete them from the "All-In-One" file (I still don't know which file corresponds to which Shadow Druid).

there are 1500+ NPC assets in game, so the process is kinda slow xd
