Overview
Makes the default human in the Character Creator (along with the human polymorph shape) like the Daisy/Dream Guardian human default and hopefully more sword-coast appropriate. This is my first mod so any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Changelog
► Show Spoiler
v1.2.1
Changed UUID of the mod as I accidentally reused one from Padme4000's.
v1.2
Made compatible with the CCreator_noGen module from the No Alphabets mod and changed the portrait hair colors from blond to black hair seen in-game.
v1.1
Added some new portraits for the human shapeshift forms since I didn't realize this mod affects the shapeshift forms as well.
Credits
I used Padme4000's NPC as Tav mod as a guide so a big thanks to them.
Releasing a v1.1 soon. Turns out the mod affects the shapeshift human forms as well since they are shared with the CC defaults. I just override the portraits to remove the old model's pictures, although it does mean this mod now uses overrides.

Great mod thank you! Furthermore, I agree with all of Tipfy's remarks.
Also I would like to edit portraits in CC. Do you know where they are stored in the game files?

I believe the portraits are automatically updated every level-up, according to the modders on other threads.

Well for a "noob" you do have provided us some quality here
Many thanks.
So I had a look at the other character presets you mentioned. I may change them at some point, but they don't bother me personally so I will focus on the hirelings first.
I actually have a question: The Disguise Self spell draws on the default character creator looks right? Is it possible to make the spell turn you into yourself? I mean, make your current appearance the disguise self appearance?
I'd really love to use that shapeshift ring but the default dragonborn is just ugly. Also, I'd think that an illithid PC would want a disguise that looks like his pre-squid self.
I'd even settle for a way to make the standard dark urge look the default for dragonborn in the character creator.

Hmm, I don't know how to make your current appearance match the disguise I'm afraid. Might be possible but it's beyond my current knowledge.
You could probably make a mod to change the Dragonborn default though. I'll have a look at it if I come back to this mod in the future.

Only for you and your party. Things like one off polymorph, disguise etc will require you to replace portraits. I've written all the locations where portraits can be found here: viewtopic.php?p=33136
Question: Do you plan to do something about the awful and lazy doppleganger in Shar's temple? I was thinking changing skin color to a drow-like ash color and cover the face with a mask and hood could work, so it looks like a shadow rather than just a black woman/man.
p.s. I was worried about compatibility with No Alphabets CCreator, but thankfully there is no clash! You can have both.

How do you trigger that quest? I've heard about it but never been able to find it.

He's in Shar's temple, in one of the rooms past Viconia. If you never saw him, you likely have SniperChris' Better Baldur's Aesthetics. He removed Nocturne completely. If you want to prevent that, use my or Albert's version. Chris has linked it on his post now.

I've actually got the whiter version, but I usually save nightsong so the Sharrans just get massacred when I go there.
Haven't even seen Nocturne is a playthrough yet.

Wait what does nightsong have to do with sharran massacre? I sent Shadowheart to camp before talking to Viconia. After parlaying and passing some checks I went to talk to Nocturne. You can literally go back to camp right there to bring shadowheart back. That will give you all the dialog and also ability to buy from him.
Viconia was always my cleric in BG1 and 2. No way I'm killing her!

Ah my bad, I always bring Shadowheart straight to the temple and just plow trough into fithing them. Still much to discover.

OH! if you were talking about the doppleganger, you fight him during the Dark Justiciar trials in Sharran Temple during Act 2. Surely you've seen your doppleganger?

Ah, you meant the combat trial in the gauntlet. Until I made my deblacker CC mod, I didn't play humans and my human characters haven't reached Act 2 yet. Is the 'black' doppelganger just for human Tavs?

Can you perhaps include gender specific genitals? Currently its a bit randomised.
Don't know enough to do so atm. Literally, all I did for this mod was override portraits and copy and paste dream guardians CC template data onto the human ones. It's all kind of a hack/cheat. I don't know how to find NPC properly in game files.
