📋 About This Mod
New Character Creation Presets
New presets for character creator. Comes with their own textures and meshes. No NPC is replaces, all faces are unique to player character or your guardian.
If you do not like these, just do not use them, instead of leaving a mean comment! I do not thinking I
am fixing anything (Like Githyanki), just adding more options.
Do not reupload my mods or any of the files included in them, not to other sites, not to discord servers.
PROBLEMS IN THIS MOD/GOOD TO KNOW:
All presets have custom skeletons, because of this you must set animation level of detail to HIGH or you get floating heads!
If I have made some mistake and you see eyeball coming out of head, please report it to me.
If characters eyes do not glow when using 'speak with dead', you have mod conflict! Remove all other custom head mods from your mod folder (even not active head mods cause conflict) or use compatibility patch from padme4000!
HOW TO INSTALL:
Place New Character Creation Presets WIP.pak into your mods folder and activate it with BG3 mod manager or in game mod manager.
HOW TO UNINSTALL:
Just disable in your mod manager, if you had started a game with one of the new faces it will revert back to vanilla. Your portrait will still have the mod face even after that until you level up or use magic mirror. If you use magic mirror you might need to hit "randomize" before you can exit it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust – 28,585 endorsements and 1.8 million downloads show this mod is a staple.
- Simple and effective – just adds presets, no complex systems to learn.
- Frequent updates – last updated October 2024, so it's likely compatible with recent game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or examples provided, so you're flying blind until you try it.
- May not include presets for all races or genders – unknown coverage.
For players who want more character creation options without spending time sliders. If you're tired of the default presets and want a quick variety boost, this is for you. Skip if you need specific preset types or visual previews – the description doesn't guarantee them.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure – if it's a loose file, just drop it into your Data folder; if it's a .esp, use a mod manager to avoid conflicts.
- After installing, launch the game and go to character creation – the new presets should appear alongside the default ones.
- If you don't see the presets, verify the mod is enabled in your mod manager and that it's compatible with your game version.
