⫸ About:

This was a request to convert the Body Type 2 Human Head 8 to Type 4, as it is currently missing from the game. Available now for BT4 Human, Elf, Half-elf, and Tiefling.

The head is standalone and has been scaled up the best I could while trying to keep the facial proportions close-ish to the Type 2 version.

Uses a custom skeleton so the animations, piercings, and beards should all fit a bit better.

⫸ Installation:

• [] Unzip the downloaded file/s and place the jerinski_HUM8_BT4.pak  and/or  jerinski_HUM8_BT4_zazz.pak into your game's Mods folder: ..\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods

  [] Use BG3 Mod Manager and move mod from Inactive over to Active Mods. Save load order and then Export to game.

  [] In CC you should now see a new Head Icon [?] for Humans Body Type 4 named: Head 8 strong  and/or  Head 8 strong zazz

  To update mod just overwrite the .pak in your Mods folder.

  Installation for the loose file request:

  FAIR WARNING for loose file usage: head mods with custom skeletons, when loaded loose like this, can potentially have some animation oddness in cutscenes. If that's the case I cannot support it and simply recommend using the pak version!

  • [] Unzip the downloaded file, open it.

    [] Drag and drop the Data folder into your game's base directory

    (e.g. the default with Steam is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3 )

    [] If you are prompted to Replace, do so. Everything should automatically go into place. Done!
