📋 About This Mod

UPDATE 1. 1

Added compatibility to BG3SX Framework (NSFW link) for the SE versions. BG3SX animations don't work though, you'll need to download extra animations like ltpitb's Lewd Add-on Animations (NSFW link)

✦ Added Non SE versions

✦ Description 

What if Withers didn't skimp on the embalming products and looked less... dead? This mod is my interpretation of that. It completely changes Wither's appearance.

Withers now has a rehydrated face (it literally is his face, but more filled out and less wrinkly!) with a bonus nose and hair, skin without wrinkles and new old clothes!

PICK AND CHOOSE ONE

There are 4 versions of the new Withers, you have to choose one:

Loincloth version (I won't judge you for picking this one), where Withers shows off his assets,

Hood Down version for a more casual look,

Hood Up version for the more mysterious vibes (also adds the feather cloak!),

Mask version where Withers decided you weren't worthy of seeing his face.

Be careful not to get on his bad side, as he now writes on a very special notebook when at camp...

Please note that I will not make any of Withers' equipment or appearance available to the player.

I will ignore comments asking as much.

I will however make similar cloak and mask mod in the future.

✦ Requirements ✦

This mod requires Script Extender (BG3SE): https://github.com/Norbyte/bg3se

I can make a non SE standalone version available if enough people ask for it, but it may be prone to issues and will not make Withers' old staff disappear as the SE version does.

Non SE versions also available in Optional downloads

✦ Installation 

Install with BG3 Mod Manager. I do not provide support for Vortex installations as I do not use it myself.
