✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh faces for elf and orc characters in both BG1 and BG2
- Active modding (last updated January 2026) — likely works with current versions
- Lightweight cosmetic addition, easy to slot into existing setups
⚠️ Cons
- Only 10 heads total — might not be enough if you want a big overhaul
- No screenshots or previews in the description, so you're flying blind
- Small mod with 51 endorsements — not a community staple, so support is limited
For Baldur's Gate players who want a few more head options for elf and orc characters without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for major visual changes or content for other races.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a cosmetic mod, back up your override folder before installing to avoid conflicts with other head mods.
- If you use a mod manager like BGEE Mod Manager, install this mod last to ensure it doesn't get overwritten.
- Check the mod's forum thread for any user-uploaded screenshots — the description lacks previews.
