Which class are you looking at? I don’t think we changed starting gear

Humm that's strange. The bug disappears when I disable RR. Also load order changes nothing.

EDIT: Sorry RR wasn't the culprit but Immersive starting gear ( Githyankis )

It seems there's a conflict between this mod and Appearance Edit Enhanced. With both active, I cannot hire most hirelings. I assume the ones touched by this mod. I can work around that by disabling this mod, hiring the hireling, then reenabling this mod. However, that can still lead to bugs in their portrait, or getting the new race/class to stick can take some finagling. Therefore, a patch to disable hireling changes would be nice, for compatibility.

Also looking through the thread, it looks like there was a patch to restore Isobel that got deleted. Does anyone have it? Will I get banned if I post one?

I would also like vanilla Isobel restored. I don't think it's too much to ask.

In the main page, you can find a tab called NPCRestore that has options to restore certain NPCs to vanilla, including Isobel

@VerMods In what way were you unable to recruit hierlings? I couldn't reproduce the issue. Didn't see any obvious conflicts either when unpacking the mods since neither mod overrides the same Origin nodes

The only problem is - it only restores her hair color, nothing else. :)

Yeah... But I didn't say I like her vanilla appearance, especially without makeup. :D It's just I like her new look even less. She's probably the only character I don't like in the whole mod.
So an alternative apperance would be ideal ofc, but since that's a lot of work, which you unlikely have any desire to do (because you must like current result), I didn't even mention it.

It's actually not a lot of work especially with BG3 toolkit, incase you want to use the Vanilla version as a base and edit her. I can write a quick guide on how to do it if you want

Sure, that would be nice. But only if you have some free time to do it, as I have to find some time myself to follow your guide. I love modding, but have very little time for it lately.

Perhaps it's a different mod in my mod list causing the conflict then? The issue is that for all but two hirelings, the "Venture Forth" button is greyed out and unclickable.

Example:

Also holy ****, thank you for making the mod and the guide! I hadn't heard of that tool before, but it looks way easier than the **** I used last time I modded the game.

Anyone know how cutscenes will end up looking if I change the companions faces? Is it gonna get hilariously bad? Some of them look so ugly I just have to change em or I guess get rid of them.

It will work. All heads are rigged the same, so animations work regardless

Make sure to use BG3 toolkit to do the edits

I've used the mod before, but can't remember how it affects the Githyanki models. I want to make Lae'zel more attractive with mods, but I can't figure out how to fix her wrinkly skin. There are smoothing mods out there for Giths, but they require other mods (like Player and NPC - Old Shaders) that may conflict with this one. Any chance this mod smooths Gith skin?

Just use "better companions" mod in modhq and turn her into a man. That character was written as a man by postmodern ******* anyway. Works much better like Dakkon in PT. No point trying to put lipstick on a pig.

By changing her appearance?

I'm starting with this mod:

https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2385

A minor change that makes a huge difference.
