📋 About This Mod

This mod requires Norbyte's Script Extender. You install it by dropping it into the bin folder in your game directory. Additionally, if you're using the BG3 Mod Manager, you can go to "Tools"-> "Download & Extract Script Extender" to have the manager install it for you.

Mod Instructions:

Save your game first because you may come across problems that require loading your save.

Make sure you have the newest version of Script Extender.

When you launch the game for the first time, you will receive a spell on your hotbar automatically. The spell looks like Seaming (blue with 3 masks on top of each other). If you remove this spell from your Hotbar, you won't get it back. You'll have to check your spellbook for the character to see the spell again and re-add it to your Hotbar.

The spell you get is a container for 4 spells.

Resculpt is not perfect since Patch 6. You will have issues in the mirror/level-up/respec screens on characters whose body size you changed dramatically.

This spell lets you change the body type or race of ANY character that casts it. Please follow these instructions step-by-step if you wish to use this feature:

[]Before you begin, make sure you're on the newest version of the mod and your script extender version is at minimum 8.

[]Select the character that you wish to edit. The character that casts the Resculpt spell will be the one that is edited, even in a multiplayer lobby.

[]Casting the Resculpt spell will open the Character Creation Screen for EVERY player in the lobby. If you are in a multiplayer lobby, please tell the players that DID NOT CAST THE SPELL to select Dark Urge and hit confirm, confirming on the guardian screen as well, to exit out. Picking Dark Urge in this menu is how you exit the menu if you change your mind in either solo or multiplayer play.

[]If you are the one who cast the spell, select the Custom Origin at the very top of the screen. DO NOT SELECT ANYTHING ELSE

[]Modify the character's race, subrace, body type, and appearance however you want. ONLY THESE THINGS will be copied over. Voice is copied for Tavs but not Hirelings or Origins.

[]Hit confirm (ignore the naming part, it doesn't matter) and hit confirm again on the Guardian screen. Nothing you do on the guardian scre
