📋 About This Mod
From slaying mind flayers to romancing half the Sword Coast, your Tav deserves abs that can do it all.
ABSolutely puts the core in hardcore, toning body types 1 & 2 for non-short races.
When your six-pack has a higher AC than your breastplate, do you even need a shield?
Hells! Even Lae’zel might crack a smile — if she weren’t too busy admiring the competition.
About
Your Tav and NPC's can finally look like proper adventurers!
No old shaders required; this works straight out of the box. Can be safely added or removed mid-playthrough.
So far, Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Drow males and females (including Minthara), Tiefling and Githyanki females (including Lae'zel) have been implemented.
Companions have their own mod for better visibility and management on my part. Minthara will still be included with the AIO and/or NrmF files if not using KAVT only.
Both Lae'zel and Minthara are included with the githyanki and normie females respectively. If you want them to have different textures than the ones you picked for those, or if you only downloaded the KAVT files, download their standalone mods over there.
Installation
Requires Adytum Nzx
The mod is available in several versions for improved modularity.
Simply drop the .pak(s) in your Mods folder or into your mod manager of choice.
Make sure it is in the active tab (or equivalent for non BG3MM users).
Loard order shouldn't matter.
If using either STAV or KAVT, you need to download the additional loose files replacers
and extract the .zip file into your "...\steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data" folder.
Compatibility
The mod edits the base game skin material for each currently supported body type. Those are then associated with the virtual textures from Adytum.
As such, any mod altering the same files will overwrite it. Simply ensure the mod is being loaded after those.
Only the mod loaded last will have its effects take place, however.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (328k) shows it's a go-to for body mods.
- Modular setup means you can pick and choose what to install.
- Works for both Tav and NPCs if you're using the right framework.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers non-short races—short races like halflings and gnomes are left out.
- Requires additional mods (Unique Tav, KAVT, or STAV) for NPC use, which adds setup complexity.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want more defined abs on their characters without overhauling the whole body. If you're already using Unique Tav or similar mods, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you play short races or want full body customization beyond abs.
