About
This mod dynamically switches Shadowheart’s hairstyle during long rests, restoring her original look by morning. Fully configurable through MCM; choose her evening and morning styles from any compatible hair mods installed.
I have released Tav/Durge as well as Minthara versions, be sure to check them out!
How to use
-
[]Simply open the MCM menu and select your preferred hairstyle from the dropdown or enter a hairstyle UUID if preferred.[/]
[]Allows you to edit the hair colour as well as highlights and greyings. [/]
[]Apply changes directly via the MCM menu buttons, no need to enter Character Creation or reload.[/]
[]Has presets that can be imported/exported.[/]
[]Extensions will always be restored in the morning. If you want to remove them at night, uncheck 'Keep Extensions' in MCM.[/]
[]Works in Photo Mode.[/]
[]The hair catalogue is built from every hairstyle installed, this means all vanilla ones (even NPC's) and mods like Lynia's Orin makeover.[/]
Installation
Requires Script Extender and Mod Configuration Menu 1. 40+.
Install it with your mod manager of choice and ensure it loads after the latter, besides that, load order doesn't matter.
The mod is save-safe, so can be added or removed at any time.
Known Issues
Currently, when using AEE Origins, when applying a new hair style, it will also overwrite the current CC preset you picked.
To revert it, simply pick and apply the hair preset you picked.
Another work around is to pick a preset you will never use and forget about it.
While the sliders for highlights and greyings are still present, they will not do anything if not using AEE. You can use CCEE for those if you do no wish to use AEE.
There are also several console commands (ctrl+F12 by default if not enabled) to do things manually:
This mod automatically changes Shadowheart's hairstyle during long rests and reverts it in the morning, with configuration options via MCM. It's a niche cosmetic addition for Baldur's Gate 3 players who want a bit of variety in camp scenes. With 234 endorsements and recent updates, it's a small but active mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a subtle roleplay touch to camp scenes without breaking immersion.
- Configurable via MCM, so you can tweak it to your liking.
- Recently updated (August 2026) and has a solid 234 endorsements from the community.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Shadowheart—if you're not using her, this mod does nothing for you.
- Requires MCM, which means you'll need to install that dependency first.
- It's a very niche cosmetic change; don't expect anything gameplay-altering.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who romance Shadowheart or use her often and want a little visual variety during rests. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or don't care about hairstyle details.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Mod Configuration Menu installed and enabled before using this mod, or it won't work.
- If you're using other Shadowheart appearance mods, check load order to avoid conflicts—this one should load after them.
- Test the mod by long resting once to see the hairstyle change; if it doesn't trigger, verify MCM is active.
