📋 About This Mod
For now, I've stopped modding BG3 and can't provide any support for this mod, I'm very sorry. But you are more than welcome to use/alter/do whatever you want to the textures from here in any way you like, so they're more of a resource than a standalone mod at this point.
AS OF PATCH 5, this mod requires Trips' Old Shader Pack and Companions - Old Shaders (for companions) and/or Player and NPC - Old Shaders (for generic textures).
The unique version requires Unique Tav.
Feel free to use this as a resource! The edited textures are all fine to use and edit in any way you see fit, with or without credit.
Compatible with anything that changes facial textures or body meshes, but not body textures.
Install:
1] Unzip the file(s), drop 'Generated' folder(s) into Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data
2] That's it!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with nearly 3,000 endorsements and over 135k downloads—clearly a hit.
- Modular installation means you can customize exactly which textures you want, no bloat.
- Simple cosmetic tweak that improves realism without changing gameplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2024—might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Resource mod only—requires you to manually install textures, no fancy installer.
For players who find the overly sculpted abs on characters distracting and want a more natural look. Great for screenshot enthusiasts and roleplayers who value visual consistency. Skip if you're fine with the default abs or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a resource mod, you'll need to manually place the textures in your game's Data folder—check the mod's file structure to see which textures you want.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep track of which texture files you've installed, making it easier to revert if needed.
- If you're unsure which textures to pick, start with the ones for companions and the PC, as those are most visible.
