About this mod

(Update in progress)



A dumping ground for the small cosmetic tweaks and edits I feel like sharing but don't think warrant their own page. I might add more along the way, so keep an eye out for updates if you're interested!



Rose tattoo fix


The top part of the rose tattoo was seriously dodgy, so I fixed it (drawing with a mouse is a giant pain in the a*** but I tried my best).

Available in two flavours:
  • vanilla-style, on the left side of the neck;
  • flipped, on the right side.

Will likely override any tattoo mod that replaces the vanilla designs.

Install with your mod manager.

Lipstick Tweaks


Lipstick mask edits and fixes for human female heads 5 and 10. Head 5 can now have visible lipstick and head 10's Cupid's bow isn't so weirdly overdrawn anymore.

Install with your mod manager.

Gale eye colour tweak


Changes Gale's new eye colour to a warmer shade of dark brown. 

Not tested with patch 9 - I have other tweaks in the works, so I'll update this mod on a separate, Gale-only page.

Tweaked eyeliner


New eyeliner for make-up 7. I used half-elf head 2 (the one on my screenshot) when making this, so don't expect it to look good on everyone!

Alternative plum eyeshadow


Changes the "plum" make-up tint to a deeper shade of (slightly) reddish purple.

Darker black hair


Replaces all four three shades of black (raven, reddish and neutral) with darker versions.
Note that the vanilla hair tints (as well as the vanilla tints from patch 8, which were slightly different) are still available.

Patch 8/9 & full release update: The hair tinting system has become *extremely* finicky, but I think I've finally managed to fix those tints! Except the brown one, which seems like a lost cause. The difference between raven and neutral is extremely subtle; it's not perfect but it's the best I can do without veering into M*nic P*nic territory.

Install with your mod manager.

(If you just want pure black hair, I recommend the "true black" tint from Padme's custom hair colours.)

Lingerie for all


Why wear bras fashioned out of old leather footballs when you can have fancy silk lingerie?

Replaces companions' and most PCs' underwear with the human-style flowery lingerie (halflings keep their cute underwear, though). I also tweaked the meshes that had clipping issues and edited several tints to add a bit more variety (a lot of them used coppery tones). 

Note that the updated version also swaps the default female Mephistopheles tiefling's hair for the high ponytail.

Somewhat experimental. The .zip file includes:
  • a .pak file you'll need to install either with your mod manager (don't use Candor!) or manually if that's your thing;
  • a Public folder you'll need to drop into your Data folder. If you don't install those loose files, Shadowheart, Lae'zel and Gale will still be wearing the default leather underwear.

Doesn't play nice with patch 8 (or 9). (I'm planning to make two versions for patch 8, one that just gets rid of the default toothling-style leather underwear, and one that gives everyone the human-style flowery lingerie.)

Darker nails for female tieflings


Gives female tieflings darker nails/claws so they match their male counterparts. Loose files.

Pigmentation fix for Wyll by tyvianpear


Gives Wyll appropriately lightened palms and soles. Install with your mod manager (don't use Candor!).

Thanks tyvianpear (melf) for making this and giving permission to share it here!


Apparently not needed anymore.

Restored make-up


Restored (and slightly tweaked) make-up style from patch 6.

  • Replaces make-up style #2;
  • Also includes the eyeliner tweak.

Highlights begone!


Sets the default hair highlight (and greying) intensity to 0 for all CC presets. (I was really happy to have officially access to hair highlights and greying, but I just didn't want them to be visible by default (especially highlights).)

Restored lipstick


Restores the now missing lipstick/lip colouring parameters from patch 7. Install with your mod manager.

(Thanks melf for the patch 7 files!)

Seems to be working with patch 9, but might need updating if Larian changed some skin parameters.

Minthara's Glittery Eyeshadow Restored


Restores Minthara's silver glittery make-up. Install with your mod manager.

(Thanks LostSoulMan for Minthara's patch 7 head mesh!)

Gnome Female Head #5 Fix


A fix for gnome female 5's normal map, most of which wasn't in the correct format. I also made a minor tweak to her lip colouring while I was at it. Install with your mod manager.


Doesn't need updating - this seems to have been fixed by Larian.





Installation



Loose files


  • Open the archive and drop the contents into your Data folder (mine is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3). If you already had a previous version installed and didn't delete the files, allow to overwrite.
  • To uninstall, simply delete my files.




.pak files


I recommend using LaughingLeader's BG3 Mod Manager.* Make sure you're using the latest version! To install a mod:

  • Open the mod manager, click File > Import Mod... and select my .zip file.
  • Drag my file from your "Inactive mods" list (on the right) onto your "Active mods" list (on the left).
  • Click File > Export Order to Game.
  • To uninstall, drag the file back onto your "Inactive mods" list and save the load order again. You can then delete the .pak file from your Mods folder if you don't want to clutter up your drive (mine is located in C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods). 


* I only use this one, so I'm afraid I can't help Vortex users. Again, don't use Candor! It hasn't been updated in a while and doesn't seem to be working properly anymore.





Compatibility notes and known issues


All mods are obviously incompatible with other mods that affect the same files.

Rose tattoo: will override any loose mod that affects Skin_Atlas_Head_SHR_Tattoo_A_MSK1.dds. Both versions (vanilla and flipped) will conflict with each other.

Gale eye colour tweak: _merged.lsf located in Public\Shared\Content\Assets\Characters\Character Editor Presets\Origin Presets\[PAK]_Gale

Tweaked eyeliner and Restored make-up: Skin_Atlas_Head_SHR_Makeup_A_MSK2.dds.

Alternative plum eyeshadow: ColorDefinitions.lsx

Darker black hair: _merged.lsf located in Public\Shared\Content\Assets\Characters\Character Editor Presets\Hair Color Presets\[PAK]_Natural

Darker nails for female tieflings: TIF_F_NKD_Body_A_BM.dds & TIF_F_NKD_Body_A_HMVY.dds

Pigmentation fix for Wyll: _merged .lsf located in [PAK]_HUM_M_Head_Wyll and _merged.lsf located in [PAK]_Male_Body.

Fancy lingerie:
  • the .pak file might interfere with any mod affecting _merged.lsf located in Public/Shared/Content/[PAK]_CharacterVisuals. It will also conflict with any mod affecting the same meshes (the human-style underwear for tieflings of any gender and female gith).
  • loose files: _merged.lsf located in Public/Gustav/Content/[PAK]_CharacterVisuals

Highlights Begone!: incompatible with any mod affecting _merged.lsf located in Public/Shared/Content/[PAK]_CharacterVisuals. Player-related entries only! Edits to NPCs' and/or companions' visuals should be compatible.

Minthara's Glittery Eyeshadow Restored: _merged.lsf located in Public\Shared\Content\Assets\Characters\Elves\Heads\[PAK]_ELF_F_Head_Minthara. (I haven't directly replaced her head mesh, but the modded filepath is referenced there.)

Gnome Female Head #5 Fix: _merged.lsf located in Public\Shared\Content\Assets\Characters\Gnomes\Heads\[PAK]_GNO_F_Head_E. (I haven't directly replaced her texture set, but my modded filepaths are referenced there.)
