📋 About This Mod

Slightly smaller / more delicate jewellery for your player character. The mod adds a bunch of edited piercings (and one vanilla recolor) and a few locations so you can choose to have a more minimal look. Available in Gold and Silver currently.

VERSION 2. 0 Update: Strong set added. Shouldn't clip on Tiefling heads anymore. Better fit for strong body type and masc heads with broad features. Better fit for some Half-Orcs but spider bites are hit and miss because of the teeth. Try the STRONG pack if you're experiencing clipping with the head you're using.

I haven't included that many sets or sets including the vanilla piercings - aside from one - as that seemed to defeat the purpose a little, but I have uploaded a Modder's Resource with everything you need to make your own sets. Should be compatible with other piercing mods, so you can mix and match to your heart's desire. The silver version uses the game's textures so anything that recolors those (such as Ghouls Vanilla Piercing Recolors) will recolor these piercings as well.

INSTALLATION

Please use BG3 Mod Manager. I can't help with any other method.

1. Import Mod in BG3MM. Click on the zip file you downloaded.

2. Drag it from the right to the left to set it as active

3. Refresh & save your launch order

4. Go -> Launch Game

Probably requires Mod Fixer standalone or another mod that's packaged with it

TROUBLESHOOTING / ISSUES

BG3 uses a One Size Fits All method for piercings. That means every piercing has to fit on every humanoid head. The problem with making the piercings smaller is that they sit differently on heads with thicker lips or brows, etc. There's not much I can do about that. I've tried my best (i.e. hours and hours of rotating and checking the meshes) to make them fit and not clip on every default head, but there may be minor clipping for some of them.

I also can't provide a lot of support for non-vanilla heads for this reason.

PERMISSIONS / CREDIT

For personal sets: go wild. I've included a step-by-step tutorial on making sets and all the files you need to do that.

For modders: if you want to use any of the piercings or sets in your mod please set this mod as a dependency.
