📋 About This Mod
UPDATE #6 - NOW WORKING CORRECTLY WITH PATCH 8! (Also added a version for anyone who uses both EotB and UT).
UPDATE #5 - added heads for Body Type 3 (all races) - please these only have standalone VFX support for now so will not work with other head mods which also have VFX yet!
UPDATE #4 - added a separate version which is compatible with Eyes of the Beholder. You will need to install EotB for this version to work properly!
UPDATE #3 - added a separate version for Unique Tav users which uses the face tattoos and makeup. Will ONLY work with UT installed and you can only install one version at a time, sorry! (Please note I do not use UT so haven't tested this, please let me know if you run into any issues!)
UPDATE #2 - added a Tiefling head (this one has some seams which I've spent 3 days trying to fix, will release an updated version of this if I ever manage it)
UPDATE #1 - added a Gith version (Gith'rin? Ori'yanki?), and standalone VFX support for Speak with Dead etc. Please install Padme's patch below to avoid conflict with other head mods!
I was curious to see what this would look like, so I made it for myself, loved it, and had to share it!
Adds Orin's head mesh as a fully customisable standalone head (no replacer) in character creation, using handmade texture files.
Currently available for Humans, Elves, Drow, Half-elves, Half-drow, Tieflings and Githyanki. WIP for other races.
Body type 1 only.
You will need to have Level Of Detail on the highest setting, otherwise the head will float!
To make sure there are no override issues with other head mods for eye VFX for Speak with Dead etc, install Padme4000's VFX patch from here (as long as the heads you are using are on the list!).
TO INSTALL:
- Unzip the .pak file and install with BG3 Mod Manager.
MODS USED IN SCREENSHOTS:
- Silver's Hair Pack
- Jerinski's Alt Hairs
- Trips' Accessory Collection
- Horns of Faerun
- Add icons to CC
- Modify for other races
Credit and massive thanks to the excellent folks in the Down By The River Discord for their help and patience with my endless dumb questions, and to Padme4000 in particular for providing the tutorial code and Blender addons that made this mod possible!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Popular choice with 310 endorsements and over 37k downloads—clearly a lot of players want this.
- Covers a wide range of races and body types, so most character concepts can use it.
- Actively updated (June 2025), so it's likely to keep improving.
⚠️ Cons
- Still WIP—expect possible bugs or missing polish.
- Limited to head mesh only—no other customisation options included.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want to recreate Orin's look for their own character. Perfect for roleplayers and screenshot enthusiasts. Skip if you're after full body or armour mods—this is purely a head mesh replacement.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're using the correct body type (Body 1 or Body 3) when selecting the head in character creation.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod and load it after other character creation mods to avoid conflicts.
- Since it's a WIP, test it on a new character first to see if it works with your other mods.
