📋 About This Mod
Like most people, I think the Dragonborn in BG3 are pretty cool. This mod is an edit I made for personal use but have since decided to share, so I hope you guys like my edits as well. Changes face option 3 for body type 1 Dragonborn (female). If you wish to use it as a male, just set pronouns and voice to male ezpz (I may resculpt more heads in the future for both types but no promises)
Also slightly edits the "Quilled Wedge" horn style for personal taste, adjusting the shape of the horns and adding several new ones, as well as spines on the nose bridge and brows.
Included is the resculpted head mesh, all horn styles for said head type, and all chin attachments. I also refit one of the jaw attachment models, but most of the other ones didn't need any editing.
installation is simple, just extract the Zip file and put the "Public" folder inside your Baldur's Gate 3 "Data\Generated" folder. Will conflict with other mods that change the head shape for Dragonborn.

A compact cosmetic mod that resculpts one of the Dragonborn heads in Skyrim, giving it a longer snout and shorter mouth, plus refitted horn models. With 225 endorsements and 8,844 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated visual tweak for players who want a more draconic look.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 225 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads—clearly fills a niche.
- Simple visual upgrade that makes your Dragonborn look more draconic without overhauling the whole game.
- Refitted horns mean the new head shape won't clip with existing gear.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one head preset—if you don't use that specific head, this mod does nothing for you.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're flying blind until you test it in-game.
- Last updated in January 2024—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or other head mods.
For Skyrim players who want a subtle but noticeable tweak to their Dragonborn's appearance, especially if you're into role-playing as a more beast-like character. Skip if you're looking for a full character overhaul or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic and limited to one head.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- If you're using other head mesh mods, load this one after them so it takes priority.
- Check the in-game character creation to see the resculpted head—it's one of the presets, so you'll need to select it to see the change.
