About this mod

(OUTDATED; read the sticky post!) A template created to help you add scars to your characters - provided all the files necessary and a wide variety of scars to choose from, with detailed PDF guide included. Only thing required is Photoshop (or Gimp). Included options for editing heads unlocked by AlanaSP's Customizer and bodies.

Permissions and credits
Been wanting to add more customization to your character? Wishing for your Tav to stand out more? Or you just really, really love scars (like me) and are sad Larian hasn't provided you with the option to add them yet? Look no further!

Not exactly a mod, but rather tools provided to create your own simple scars mod - so you have the freedom to edit things to your liking with the least amount of hassle (plus, saves me a lot of time).

The only thing required is Photoshop (or Gimp, though the workflow might be different) + a plugin linked in the attached .pdf guide. The only thing you're really going to do is edit a couple of texture files. I've tried to lay out everything as simply and clearly as I can in the guide, as to make this accessible to people no matter their modding experience. When you've done it once, it becomes a breeze!

The .zips have been divided by race so to save on file size (each one is around ~1gb now). You can pick and choose which ones you want.

Provided inside are the files you will edit (the head textures - like mentioned in the description, i've included options for editing heads unlocked by AlanaSP's Customizer and bodies), a .psd with a bunch of isolated scars you can pick and choose from (taken from numerous sources, ordered by their names), and the .pdf guide. Please read this guide carefully! There's also a short troubleshooting section at the bottom in case you run into issues. Though feel free to ask me if you can't find a solution to your problem there.

Included scars from these sources: Abdirak, Aradin, Astarion (neck), 1 Elf face (corpse veins), Gale, Halsin, Lae'zel, 2 Githyanki faces, 1 Human face, Rath, 1 Halfling face, 1 Tiefling face and Wyll

You can edit as many heads (or bodies) as you like, though note that npcs using the same heads will receive these scars too. Sadly no way to make an exception for Tav, or it's at least beyond my current modding capabilities.


There shouldn't be any compatibility issues with mods, unless they're loose mods that also edit the face textures (like some custom Tav heads) - your scar mod will also always overwrite any mods installed via .pak files.

This is my first published mod, took me an evening to set up (discounting the time it took to get familiar with bg3 modding, oof haha) and then some to test - so I hope you enjoy! ❤️

I won't take requests to add any other scars to the template, I've included pretty much all available. Maybe if future patches provide more unique ones I will consider it. Also please don't upload this mod anywhere else, thanks!

Special thanks to Padme4000 for creating the super useful .pdf guide for cross-referencing heads with their corresponding file names (and their modding tutorials have helped immensely as well). Also thanks to Munnmo for helping me test things before releasing, wouldn't have caught some issues otherwise!
