There are other mods which sought to do the same thing, but they're less compatible and not as robust in their implementation.
Here we use Compatibility Framework for the BEST means of editing the racial progressions, and self inheritance stat entry modifications to cover ALL relevant NPCs too. Load Order

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (69,861) shows tons of players are grabbing this.
- Covers all three short races in one mod—Dwarves, Gnomes, and Halflings—so you get full coverage.
- Recently updated (January 2026), so it's likely compatible with current patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 43 endorsements compared to downloads suggests many players aren't leaving feedback—could be hit-or-miss.
- Purely cosmetic—if you wanted gameplay changes, this isn't it.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who play as short races and want their characters' legs to look better and more consistent. If you're a Dwarf, Gnome, or Halfling fan who cares about visual polish, this is worth a look. Skip if you're after gameplay tweaks or play tall races.

- If you're using mod manager, make sure this mod is active and load order doesn't conflict with other appearance mods.
- Check the mod's page for any screenshots or user images to see the actual changes before installing.
