📋 About This Mod
Janani was the first head I ever tried to create. I didn't know what I was doing at the time, so I practiced on new heads, learned what to do, and now I've finally remade her. The story behind it was hearing "I've never seen a South Asian-coded dwarf." So here she is.
Most beards fit well.
Vanilla piercings should fit but modded piercings may not, as they use beard bones, and I prioritized making sure the beard looked good. I have not tested any modded piercings.
Compatibility options:
1) Unique Tav / Kaz Virtual Tav
2) Eyes of the Beholder
3) Combo patch.
Installation:
Drag the .zip into BG3MM. Move from inactive mods to active mods. Save and export.
There are 3 compatibility patches. One for UT/KVT, one for EotB, and one that combines the two. Only use one of these.
Download the main file and install. Then install the patch and place it below the main file in your load order.
Prerequisites and Compatibility:
-No prerequisite mods are needed. All you need is mod manager for installation.
-Certain piercings that are in non-vanilla placements may not work correctly, as the necessary bones were fitted to the beard rather than any modded piercings.
-Compatible with Unique Tav, Kaz Virtual Tav, and Eyes of the Beholder (see installation instructions)

Acknowledgments
I couldn't name all those who have helped me learn how to do this. The BG3 Modder's Community Discord was essential.
Thank you to all the tool makers who made this possible:
Norbyte for LSLib
ShinyHobo for BG3 Modders Multitool
Padme4000 for Padme's Blender Addons
Aloija for BG3 Armature Tools for Blender
Volno for Volno's Texture Toolbox
and to Jerinski who created Mr. Bones' Wild Guide for custom armatures.
and Weeviljester for the head template which allowed me to easily make this an added head rather than a replacer.
Thank you to all those who make up this wonderful modding community:
A dwarf head customization mod for BT1, with adjusted armature for piercings and beards. Includes compatibility patches for EotB, KVT, and UT. Small but dedicated following with 19 endorsements and 780 downloads.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Compatibility patches for EotB, KVT, and UT are included, so you don't have to hunt for them.
- Armature tweaks mean you can rock piercings and a beard without clipping issues.
- Decent download count (780) for a niche cosmetic mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 19 endorsements — it's a niche mod, so don't expect a huge community.
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.
- Last updated in July 2024 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches if any dropped since.
For BT1 players who want a dwarf head with more customization options, especially if you use EotB, KVT, or UT mods. Skip if you're not into cosmetic tweaks or don't play BT1.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base BT1 mod installed before adding this head.
- If you use EotB, KVT, or UT, the patches are included — just drop the files in the right folders.
- Test the head in character creation to see if the piercings and beards align properly with your other mods.
