I added two new versions, using textures from the female elves to achieve that super clean/smooth skin. Feel free to pick whichever you prefer.
I will do my best to help out with installation issues but when in doubt, take a moment to stop, re-read the instructions, double confirm you're installing it in the right folder. Reading comprehension makes a difference.
Yeah, this really is the best skin replacer mod for Astarion. I've tried all the other ones. They either make him look like he's wearing a sh*ton of makeup or is heavily airbrushed. While that can be appealing to some, it's way too feminine-looking for me. This mod is just perfect. He looks naturally dashing and beautiful, and still very masculine. I love it. Version C is my favorite.
Hmmm. Just in case anyone wonders why this mod is necessary:
Astarion was thirty-nine years old when turned. This is a youth for elves who only begin to show signs of aging hundreds of years into their lives. He should not have the skin damage of a human even older than he was when he became undead.
Hello I'm sorry I'm confused T_T So the mod should be added to the data folder that is from the "Program Files (x86) > Baldurs Gate 3" and not from the files you can get access from steam. Is that right?
Best advice I can give is open Steam, go to Library, find Baldur's Gate 3, right click, go to Manage > Browse Local Files. That will take you to the primary installation folder which will contain the Data folder. Good luck.
Really liking this mod. Tho would it be possible to get a fix for the neck seam and there is some missing texture in his scalp. I'm using Appearance Edit Enhanced Origins characters edition and alot of hairstyles arent viable because of the scalp texture.
Which variant? I produced a newer younger one which might work for you here: An Alternative Astarion, you'd just have to delete the GR2 file. I might just release that here as well. This Younger mod was one of my first clumsy entries into modding BG3.
I was at first thinking that this would make him look weird, but at the same time i was curious how it would look like in game. So i downloaded the C version and in combination with black hair colour and black eyebrows... he looks MAGNIFICENT!
I love it so much! I will never go back, he actually looks like a young dracula (he still has his normal hair tho). combined this with gortashs outfit, basket full of equip and astarions earrings: PERFECTION
Thank you for this mod, best choice i made when it comes to textures :)

I hope my question is not to confusing.
