(Supports all Body Types)
---------------------------------
Installation:
Please note:
The replacer versions are the 'safest' versions. They can be added, swapped and removed mid-playthrough and new patches will not break them unless Larian changes something drastic. They also do not require mod fixer or any other mod to work.
The PAK versions, as with any PAK mod, should not be removed mid-playthrough as you will very likely experience issues loading a save that is missing a PAK mod it previously had. A new patch might also require an update to the PAKs. Mod-fixer is also necessary for the PAK versions to work.
Please keep the above in mind when installing your chosen version.
Replacer Version:1. Install with Vortex
2. Choose your preferred version when the installer asks
3. Deploy mod and enjoy
MANUAL INSTALL (if you don't use Vortex)
1. Unzip and choose either Default or Longer (Remember to read the ReadMe included)
2. Drop the "Generated" folder in your "Data" folder within your BG3 root directory
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data
So it should look like this:
SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\BaldursGate 3\Data\Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\_Hair\Resources
