📋 About This Mod
This mod replaces the Half Orc skin to make it more smooth. The original just seemed too rough! Both body types are now included!
I have tested this with Patch 7 and it works. Ensure you follow the steps below. Currently doesn't show up in the in-game mod manager.
Installation:
-
[]Download and install Trips' Old Shader Pack and install with BG3 Mod Manager

]Download Player and NPC - Old Shaders and install with Mod Manger after Trips'[]Download Player and NPC - Old Shaders (Textures) and extract into the data folder or install with Mod Manager
[]Download either or both of the Half Orc Smooth Skin downloads and extract into the data folder. Replace any files if asked.
Note, if you are updating, you will have to reinstall over the Player and NPC - Old Shaders (Textures) mod.
