📋 About This Mod
This mod, and a collection of Aether's other mods are currently being maintained by Magnetuning (hi) and Aimryax! You can find a list of mods we're maintaining, and their Patch 8 update status here.
This mod is working with Patch 8!
DESCRIPTION
Retroactively removes all Half-Illithid visuals from any characters afflicted by Partial Ceremorphosis.
Functions with Patch 5's new Half-Illithid visuals, as well as all texture mods.
Previous mods that did this either edited texture files or were outdated, so I decided to release my own. I will attempt to keep this mod up-to-date as needed, though with my current method it should not need to be updated unless Larian changes the way in which the Illithid visuals are applied.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 739 endorsements and over 16k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Does exactly what it says: strips those ugly Half-Illithid visuals without touching gameplay.
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop it in and forget it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2024—might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before using.
- Only affects visuals; if you wanted to remove the mechanical drawbacks of ceremorphosis, this isn't for you.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who hate the Half-Illithid look but still want the story and powers. If you're a completionist who wants to keep your character's appearance intact, this is a must-have. Skip if you're fine with the tentacle face or want gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the mod enabled in your load order before loading a save where you've already undergone ceremorphosis—it should apply retroactively.
- If you're using a mod manager, just drag and drop the file; if not, place it in the Mods folder in your BG3 data directory.
- Check the mod's page for any updates or compatibility notes after game patches, since it hasn't been updated since January 2024.
