📋 About This Mod
Please note that unless there's something wrong on my end, I won't be taking requests.
I've never been a fan of Princess Stabbity's vanilla appearance; her face is freakishly smooth and BioWare strayed too far from her DA:O design (IMHO). This is my attempt at making her slightly more reminiscent of her Origins self, using a blend of BioWare's and Ellise's textures as my base. I've uploaded a comparison screenshot I took in Blender so you can clearly see the difference between vanilla Leliana, Ellise's mod and my edit.
Notable changes include:
-
[]Origins-inspired arched eyebrows;
[]less garish eye make-up;
[]slightly more freckles (I used Ellise's diffuse as a base, blended in some of Leli's vanilla freckles and added a couple of extra ones);
[]more wrinkles and expression lines, because it's been 10 years since Origins and vanilla Leli looks like a bad Photoshop job (seriously, even Kieran has more wrinkles than her);
[]reduced skin shine (IIRC, the deshine effect is about 90% as strong as Ascendia's edit). (Her scalp texture doesn't appear on her vanilla spec map, so I added it while I was at it.)
The mod is primarily available as a .daimod, but I've also made a Frosty conversion. Be aware that the Frosty version hasn't been tested extensively though, so back up your stuff and remember that you use mods at your own risk.
Requirements & recommended mods-
[]Main version: DAI Mod Manager (more info here) (if you have Trespasser installed, I also recommend installing the latest version of Dmitrias' DLC compatibility patch)
[
]Frosty version: Frosty Mod Manager (I used the latest version (v1. 0. 5. 9) to make the mod, so I assume you'll need the same version to install it)Installation-
[].daimod version: drop the .daimod file into your mod directory, make sure you don't have any conflicting mods enabled and install with the DAI Mod Manager. More detailed instructions can be found here.
[
].fbmod version: make sure you don't have any conflicting mods installed or enabled, and install like you normally install Frosty mods.Compatibility notes and known issues[]Both versions are, of course, incompatible with mods that affect Leli's face textures (hf_hed_leliana_d, hf_hed_leliana_m, hf_hed_leliana_n, and hf_hed_leliana_s).
[]Unless you use the latest version of Dmitrias' DLC compatibility patch (thanks for updating it!), the .daimod version won't work in Trespasser [/

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 447 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads
- Gives Leliana a more natural, Origins-inspired look that many players prefer
- 4K resolution adds crisp detail for high-end setups
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC
- The .fbmod conversion is explicitly marked as 'not-so-tested', so console or mod manager users might hit issues
- Only alters Leliana's complexion — no other NPC changes, so it's a narrow fix
For Dragon Age: Origins players who want Leliana to look closer to her Origins concept art without the shiny, over-processed look. Skip if you're after broader NPC overhauls or gameplay tweaks — this is purely cosmetic and focused on one character.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the .daimod version with DAO ModManager for easiest installation — just drop it in and override.
- If you're on a mod manager that uses .fbmod, test the conversion in a save before committing, since the author flagged it as untested.
- Pair with a texture mod for other NPCs to keep Leliana's look consistent with the rest of the party.
