This was a request to convert the Elf head 6 to Tiefling. Available for both Body Type 2 and 4*.
Available as loose files (replacing Tiefling head 6), as well as standalone (pak). The standalone has an alternative version with compatibility for Kartoffels' Unique Tav Custom Appearance mod.
Uses a custom skeleton to for better piercings fit.
⫸ Installation Instructions:
Standalone version (recommended):
- Download either one of the "Standalone" versions (depending on if you use Unique Tav or not).
- Unzip the downloaded file(s) and place either the jerinski_ELF6x.pak or jerinski_ELF6x_uniquetav.pak into your game's Mods folder:
..\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mod
- Use BG3 Mod Manager and move mod(s) from Inactive over to Active Mods. If using versions with Trips' compatibility drag mine so they load after theirs. Save load order and then Export to game.
- In CC you should now see a new Head Icon [?] for Tieflings Body Type 2 named: Elf Head 6.
To update mod just overwrite the .pak in your Mods folder. To uninstall just delete from mods folder or simply deactivate in MM.
Loose files (replacer for Tiefling head 6):
FAIR WARNING for loose file usage: head mods with custom skeletons, when loaded loose like this, can potentially have some animation oddness in cutscenes.
- Unzip the downloaded file, open it.
- Drag and drop the Data folder into your game's base directory
(e.g. the default with Steam is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3 ) - If you are prompted to Replace, do so. Everything should automatically go into place. Done!
To uninstall the BT2 version follow these paths:
- Head: ..\Data\Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Anims\Tieflings\_Male\Resources -> the 1 gr2 file
- Armature: ..\Data\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Anims\Tieflings\_Male -> the 1 gr2 file
- Textures: ..\Data\Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\Tieflings\TIF_M_NKD\TIF_M_Head_F\Resources -> the 6 dds files
To uninstall the BT4 version follow these paths:
- Head: ..\Data\Generated\Public\SharedDev\Assets\Characters\_Anims\Tieflings\_MaleStrong\Resources -> the 1 gr2 file
- Armature: ..\Data\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Anims\Tieflings\_MaleStrong -> the 1 gr2 file
- Textures: ..\Data\Generated\Public\SharedDev\Assets\Characters\_Models\Tieflings\TIF_M_NKD\TIF_M_Head_F\Resources -> the 6 dds files
To uninstall loose versions, follow the above path and simply delete the above files.
⫸ Notes / Issues:
- * The lower eyelid of the Body Type 4 head clips a bit into the eyelashes when the eyes close tightly - this is annoyingly/sadly an issue with the vanilla BT4 Elf Head 6 - and so the problem is inherited from that. Should Larian update/fix the BT4 as they did with the BT2 head with Patch 3 - I will update this mod accordingly.
Theoretically I could upscale the BT2 head to fit 4, but it would be a bodge job and it still may not even work..
