📋 About This Mod
ABOUT THIS MOD
I wanted to try my hand at making some new heads for some characters of mine. These are new heads for humans, elves, drow, half-elves and tiefling for body type 1 and 2 plus some for githyanki at the moment. I do plan to make a few heads for the shorter races, half-orcs and strong bodies but these will come at a later date in an update. Only Larian's meshes and textures are used to make these heads. The heads are made using shape keys and some manual sculpting in Blender and the textures are made from mash ups of two or more textures.

MOD REQUIREMENTS
Make sure you have Mod Fixer
Improved UI
Animation Level of Detail must be set to high in your game. If this is not set to high, you will get floating heads.
(Optional) Less Wrinkled Expression and Forehead for Face
Unique Tav Custom Appearance (you only need this if you use the UTAV version of the mod)
Eye of the Beholder (you only need this if you're using the UTAV & EOTB version of this mod)
HOW TO INSTALL
I strongly recommend Bg3 Mod Manager to install your mods.
You can use vortex but I won't be able to help if you run into problems as I don't use vortex to mod Baldur's Gate.
KNOWN ISSUES
1. These heads are released as is and are not perfect, so only download if you don't mind some small issues.
Even though I have the skeletons adjusted for piercings, please note that the positions are not perfect for some of the heads. Beards have not been adjusted so they either float or will clip against the head. I will try to get these fixed as best as I can in another update.
2. Some of the heads may have some slight seam on the ears in extreme close-ups. They are mostly not notic

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 2,755 endorsements and over 425k downloads.
- Covers multiple body types and races, so most players can find something.
- Still updated as of March 2024, so likely compatible with recent patches.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.
- Limited to specific races and body types—if you play a halfling or tiefling, you're out of luck.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want more variety in character creation, especially those who play body types 1, 2, or 4, or races like githyanki, gnome, dwarf, and half-orc. Skip if you play other races or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
