About this mod

Overwrites Shadowheart's unique equipment to remove Shar symbols

Permissions and credits
"We were taught that Lady Shar's warriors had to be able to hide in plain sight, wherever we went...A cunning disguise can serve a warrior of the Dark Lady better than any armour." - Shadowheart, while packing her Sharran armour, circlet, underpants, ponytail napkin ring, camp clothing, and tent for her secret infiltration mission.

I thought it was a little silly no one recognises Shadowheart as a secret Shar worshipper, when literally everything she owns is covered in Shar logos or is spiky and purple. No wonder everyone respecs her out of Trickery domain.

What is the mod

This mod overwrites Shadowheart's starting chain shirt, camp outfit, circlet and underwear to be more generic or remove Shar logos.
It is a replacer only, because there's some frustrating scripting that prevents from fully replacing her starting equipment.

New starting armour: Original model edited and retextured with some generic decoration.
New Circlet: A chain with the shar circle removed. (It still matches her hair chains.)
New camp clothes: A jacket with night orchid flowers on it, plus trousers.
New camp shoes: Generic leather boots
New Underwear: Generic human-style underwear

Since I did this according to my own taste, I am not going to make different versions of this mod.

For a more lightweight version of this mod idea with different options, try Sneaky Sharran by Alphie9 instead. (Great minds think alike!)
If you want to put the original circlet or armour models on her later, you would need to install a mod like Basket of Equipment. Or use Sneaky Sharran instead, as it adds a box with her original equipment. I might do the same in the future updates, but this is just a replacer for now.

Compatibilities
  • This mod only changes her equipment, so any head/hair change mods for her will work with it.
  • The mod will be fully functional (meaning: no naked Shadowheart) if you have a mod that swaps the character to another vanilla bodytype, such as 'male Shadowheart' or 'type 3 body Shadowheart' mods. Most of the custom visuals will be replaced with more generic ones, however. The armour defaults to the appearance of a semi-custom Studded Leather on other body types and when dropped. Limited support is provided for HUM_M and HUM_FS: they both have the custom circlet and FS has the custom camp outfit.  I am unlikely to add more.

Known Issues
  • While the new chain shirt does retain physics, they are not good and there is clipping. This is due to limitations in the model editing tools, there is nothing I can do about it at this time.
  • Some cutscenes are pre-rendered such as origin Shadowheart's introduction scene, so they will always use the original models. I can't do anything about this.
  • If you install mid playthrough, her character portrait won't update until level up. This is just how the game's coding works.

How to Install
I recommended that you install this with BG3 Mod Manager. A guide to BG3MM installation of mods can be found here. Mod fixer may be required.

Theoretically, should be uninstallable anytime as it just overwrites, and doesn't add any new item UUIDs.
