📋 About This Mod
This mod is compatible with Patch 7! Read more below to find out how to use it.
This hair was commissioned by LadyNina! Thank you so so so much for your support, and for allowing this to be publicly uploaded.
THIS MOD CONTAINS
An edited version of the vanilla Partial Eclipse hairstyle, replacing the braids with a shaved side cut. This is a new, completely standalone hair, and the original won't be replaced! The hair is available for all vanilla races and bodytypes, and comes with its own custom icon in the gallery:
KNOWN ISSUES
-
[]Some minor clipping, especially around the forehead and shoulders depending on the face and body type.
[
]Highlights might be a little bit wonky on the shaved side. I won't edit this, since usually editing highlight placements leads to transparency issues that I'd rather not have.COMPATIBILITY FOR CUSTOM RACES
I don't plan on patching this hair for any custom races unless it's explicitly requested. Feel free to patch it on your own, but I'm not responsible for any patch that isn't made by me.
HOW TO INSTALL (AND UNINSTALL)
You need Improved UI for this mod to work. If you're playing on a version older than Patch 7, you'll also need Mod Fixer.
I highly recommend installing this with the BG3 Mod Manager. You can technically use Vortex, too, but there might be some issues; so, if in doubt, use BG3MM. I can't provide any help or support with installing this mod through Vortex or manually, since I don't use these methods myself.
To install: Download the .zip file, extract it, drop the .pak file onto the BG3MM, move it to the Active Mods column, and you're done!
To uninstall: Simply move the mod to the Inactive Mods column or delete it.
If installing this mod with the in-game mod manager, download the .zip file, extract it, drop the .pak file in %LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods, and enable this mod in-game.
I'm currently working on porting this mod to the official mod.io platform so it can be enabled directly in-game, but I don't have an estimation of when it will become available. Either way, dont worry, since my mods are and will continue to be available here too!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Clean, modern look that fits the side-shave trend.
- Works for every vanilla race and body type, so no compatibility headaches.
- Lightweight addition—just a hair edit, no gameplay changes.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one hairstyle variant—don't expect a full hair pack.
- No screenshots or previews in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.
- Last updated in April 2024—might not be tested with the latest game patches.
For players who want a quick, stylish hair option without overhauling the character creator. If you're into modern undercuts or shaved sides, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for a big hair pack or gameplay tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct folder—usually the game's Data directory or a mod manager's staging folder.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable the mod and check the character creator to see the new hair option.
- Since it's a replacer, it might overwrite the original Partial Eclipse hair—back up the original if you want to switch back.
