📋 About This Mod
Just to be clear, this is NOT a Shadowheart replacer!
Basically, this mod adds 1 Head ( Shadowheart's alternative elf version, which is not used in the game ),
which you may already encountered in other Preset mods, but it uses 10 different vanilla and 2 custom textures,
thus creating 12 variations of the same head for Half-Elves, Elves, Drow and Humans, and 3 variations for Tieflings of normal body size.
I made it for myself, but hey, maybe some of you will like them too.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,336 endorsements and 71k downloads.
- Gives you more face options for multiple races, not just one.
- Based on Shadowheart's alt head, so it fits the game's aesthetic.
⚠️ Cons
- Only for normal body size—no preset for larger or smaller body types.
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're on your own.
- Last updated in April 2025—might not be compatible with future patches.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want more head variety for their custom characters, especially if you like Shadowheart's look. Skip if you're looking for body mods or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
