About this mod

***CONTAINS ACT 1 SPOILERS*** Lets Wyll's face model retain some of his early game textures after a certain story beat.

Made for Patch 6, Hotfix 24, working Hotfix 25, but likely works for other patches—It's just a texture replacer, and should work for other patches/hotfixes.

Act 1 spoilers for Wyll's story ahead! This whole mod is spoilers, including in the mod images. Close out the tab now if you want to avoid them!

Ok so, I'm going to be up front—I am a little nervous about doing another mod affecting any character's appearance after the response to the De-Grinchifier 😅 But after I took so many screenshots of Wyll from the early game for my Wyll's Earrings mod, I started missing his early game appearance a lot! And I'm not the only one, actually; I know quite a few people who've been wanting something like this, too, including some of my friends. And it does strike me as odd that Wyll has such pronounced ridges on his face when the other cambions and devils don't... The argument could be made that it's part of Mizora being awful again, but that thought just hurts my heart. A lot. I guess I kinda want to make things easier for him.

So, this mod replaces some of the textures for Wyll's face after his devil transformation with his human ones again. I think he does reference the ridges in dialogue, so if him not having them bothers you, you don't have to download this mod. But it's here for anyone who wants it!

The mod doesn't replace all his textures (I left the HMVY file alone), because otherwise it kinda looked like his horns weren't attached to his head... But I think I found a good middle ground!


The mod replaces the following files:

Generated\Public\SharedDev\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_M_NKD\HUM_M_Wyll\Resources\HUM_M_NKD_Head_Wyll_Devil_NM.DDS
Generated\Public\SharedDev\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_M_NKD\HUM_M_Wyll\Resources\HUM_M_NKD_Head_Wyll_Devil_CLEA.DDS
Generated\Public\SharedDev\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_M_NKD\HUM_M_Wyll\Resources\HUM_M_NKD_Head_Wyll_Devil_MSK.DDS

Which are the files for his devil form face textures.


The mod replaces those files with his human equivalents, which can be found here:

Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_M_NKD\HUM_M_Wyll\Resources\HUM_M_NKD_Wyll_Head_NM.DDS
Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_M_NKD\HUM_M_Wyll\Resources\HUM_M_NKD_Wyll_Head_CLEA.DDS
Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_M_NKD\HUM_M_Wyll\Resources\HUM_M_NKD_Wyll_Head_MSK.DDS



The mod does seem to be compatible with most visual changes for Wyll, including No Abs For Companions, Transgender Wyll, and Wyll's Eye Colour Restored. It likely will also be compatible with other visual changes, as long as it doesn't also override or move the files I replaced. This really is a pretty lightweight mod; it only replaces those three face textures.

I've also provided a version of the mod that's compatible with Wyll's Devil Form! You'll need to use the compatible version if you have that mod installed, but only install the compatible version if have Wyll's Devil Form! The textures won't show up otherwise.

The mod should be safe to uninstall mid playthrough; any changes made by the texture replacements will revert once you remove the files!

Install by dragging the Generated folder in the .zip files into your BG3 Data folder, which can be found here:

\\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\

As always, let me know if you run into any issues, and enjoy!
