📋 About This Mod
When switching between scarred to scarless versions, be sure to properly delete old files—especially the normal maps (ending in _NM). If not removed, you may see unintended textures (e.g., Ciri's scar appearing on the scarless version).
If there is a head you want to retexture that isn't here, you can download any of the vanilla files and rename them accordingly. Padme details which head # belongs to which mesh here: Padme's BG3 Tutorials and Modding Resources.
UPDATE v3. 0:
Introduces new tiefling heads from vemperen’s mod. Note that some of these heads are incompatible with the vanilla tiefling heads 5 & 6 included in this mod. This is due to horn texture overrides. Choose accordingly to avoid conflicts.
Installation:
1. Extract using winrar.
2. Drag & drop the "Generated" folder into your “Data” folder: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data.
3. Please note, this will also affect NPCs if you are using a vanilla head.
The game launcher may display a data mismatch warning. Please ignore this.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 766 endorsements and over 42k downloads
- Unique crossover concept blending two iconic characters' looks
- Includes no-scar versions for players who want the freckles without the scar
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers two specific characters, so it's useless if you don't play them
- No screenshots or previews in the description, so you're flying blind on the final look
For Skyrim and Witcher 3 players who want to give Aela or Ciri a more battle-worn appearance with a nod to each other's iconic features. Skip if you're looking for broader character customization or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic and limited to two characters.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, download with the manager and deploy—it's a simple file drop.
- For Skyrim, make sure the mod is loaded after any mods that alter Aela's appearance to avoid conflicts.
- For Witcher 3, check if the mod requires a specific DLC or patch version—though not stated, it's worth verifying.
