📋 About This Mod
This mod gets rid of Shadowheart's giant chin/jaw (what's going on with the faces?) and adjusts other facial features to give her a more traditionally feminine appearance. The idea was to make subtle improvements while retaining her original overall look.
Changes made (maybe just look at the comparison images instead?)
- Reduced the giant chin and wide jaw to more reasonable proportions.
- Slightly larger eyes.
- Slightly narrower but fuller lips.
- A smaller, thinner, and leaner nose.
- 1. 0B Eyes lowered slightly.
- 1. 0C Slightly thinner, more slender neck.
Installation and Usage
- Just download and install using Vortex or do a manual install (just extract the 'Generated' folder (from the mod archive) into the /Data subdirectory of BG3's game folder).
- This is just a replacement mesh for Shadowheart's face. No PAK file, so you can remove it anytime you want.
Shadowheart Alternate Hair is used in the screenshots.
