📋 About This Mod
This mod is in part a continuation of my More Detailed Shadowheart texture, which is included albeit edited to help achieve the monolid appearance. You can swap in other Shadowheart textures, but the eyelid appearance may vary.
To achieve the same look as the included screenshots, use the additional mods:
Appearance Edit Enhanced (To change eyecolor and hairstyle
Companion And NPC Face Texture Tweaks (The Eye Textures and Lashes Tweaks)
Astralities' Hair Color Supplement (Tbh, all of astralities' mods are a must download)
I'll simply add that this only affects adult Shadowheart.
To install, just extract the contents of the zip into your Baldurs Gate 3\Data folder. This should be in your primary installation folder, not in your Appdata. Again, not in your AppData folder, this goes in the main installation location, in the Data folder. If you're struggling to find the folder, and at least if you have Steam, right click on the game in your Steam list, go down to Manage, then click Browse Local Files.
PAK VERSION PROVIDED BY Shiroyel.
To install the PAK files, simply use use BG3MM.
