📋 About This Mod
So I generally like SH, but I feel her default face looks too human and soft. I prefer her datamined head more, its more angular, and looks more like a half-elf. Nothing else has been changed, this mod just replaces her head mesh.
Installation:
- Drop the Generated file into your BG3 Data folder, or Install with Vortex, either one should work.
Permissions:
- Its a game asset so do whatever, just please comply with Larian's ToS
Thanks:
- Larian for the wonderful game
