Baldur's Better Aesthetics 1.0 — Baldur's Gate 3

[orinEsque]

I spent an hour looking for what the problem was, until I accidentally realised that to play with the mod you have to start a new game. damn.

If you are using the mod from the front page don't use the localization folder. It contains an outdated english.pak, that breaks your game in Lower City. It also makes NPCs that were updated in later patches lose their heads. I would suggest using one of minimalist edits posted above, instead of the one in the first post.

It's amazing that a racist piece of shit like Chris is *also* a shitty coder. Guess idiots who use piece of shit mods like this get what's coming, eh?

[joey2099]

So awesome, man. I just wish I had more time lately to polish it up.

Racist coder has 0 skill... Amazing.

You'll be happy to know that I'm the most racist person alive and also the best programmer alive.

That you are offended by someone modding their offline game to their liking is telling me how much IQ you have. I don't want to insult coco the gorilla so I'll go with 50. That you took the time to come make an account just to comment is just icing on the cake

The secret is that most code beyond a few bytes is some form of spaghetti code.

My version is available!
The whiter version

Some notes:

• It uses the same UUID and has all of the same changes as orinEsque's minimalist version. Use one or the other.

• Remove SniperChris' files, but English.pak is not included, so you can use SniperChris' English.pak if you want.

• Some more changes will be made to some faces and hairstyles

Thanks to SniperChris and orinEsque for the help.

Greetings and thank you for all your work.
I don't see differences for Helsik (asian dwarf), Tolna or Florrick. Is it normal?

I have to take a look at florrick, she hasn't been crossed off the list, so that means she still needs to be adjusted, though I thought I had.

Helsik and Tolna have been crossed off, so I'll have to take a look in game. I'll get back to you.

You're a master:

I haven't been able to locate Florrick yet, there are several IDs in english.pak, but none lead to a file that countains her information that is needed to locate her in the charactervisuals files.
Helsik, as far as I understood it, might not be native to Faerun. So it was a concious decision to keep her face, but her skin color has been adjusted anyway (Likely from a 'replace all')
Tolna has been adjusted as you can see here:




Will make a note to adjust her hair, to something more appropriate for a librarian-type

Tolna has been adjusted as you can see here:

You're going to have to unbreak your links, because I can't see what you're trying to do to help you.

Sorry for maybe a stupid question, but still: is your mode is standalone mode witch include @orinEsque's edits from his mod or i can install your mod with @orinEsque's mod together?

[Faceless_Sentinel]

I noticed you removed nocturne altogether in the gameobjects. Please don't. I "fixed" him in the NoAlphabet mod pack. Voice and all.

What is this modpack are you talking about? Does this fixes can be found here?

Yes, it is standalone.
It is the minimalist better aesthetics mod, plus more edits.

The one that turns him into a full man. Voice and all.

Install @AlbertHeinous's only. It contains edits from both.

Damn, i need that alot! I hope mods like this will be more there (for more characters i mean).

[FloSharChosen]

That's what I had in mind, I had noticed the change in skin tone but the overall style still seemed too close to the original African NPC.

As for Helsik, I had no information in the game that she was originally from Kara-Tur and in any case Asian Elves or Dwarves are really the quintessential absurdity of wokism and quite inappropriate with the lore.

Correct me if im wrong: you repack a @SniperChris mod into.pack file and @AlbertHeinous add to your mod his edits, right?

She could very well be from another plane, so she might not even classify as a shield or gold dwarf. I'll keep a look out for a nice face, but I'm not making any promises

[orinEsque]

Correct. I added nothing to Chris' original work. I simply debloated it. Albert added to my debloated version. So I say use his.

Damn, i need that alot! I hope mods like this will be more there (for more characters i mean).

Yes I'm working on it. There's a list of NPCs i'm intending to change on there. Currently working on Aylin. But will switch to smaller NPCs now and then because she takes a lot of work.

[AlbertHeinous]

I'm also going to work on other characters.
Mainly Drow and Tieflings, they'll be seperate from this mod, so should work together.
I like my Drow pitch black, and my tieflings more subtle, like they were in 2e.

From a 2e planescape book:
"Superficially human, their appearance always betrays them: some sport small horns, other have pointed ears, scales, a cloven hoof, or just a wicked gleam in their eye that never leaves."
Not "they look like the devil in every way."
Speaking of which, Rafael is going on the chop block for sure.

I think you can submit those to nexus mods. Not particularly controversial that.

[The_Mask]

You can post everything here, as long as it's lore-accurate, I would think.

If it makes women pretty/beautiful, and men manly, even better.

I expect death threats for messing with their precious tieflings.

Maybe it's just an excuse for more "high fantasy" since 4e edition but I think there is a "roleplay" explication about this new tieffelin skin: a ritual made by Asmodeus after he become a god (whith the murder of Azuth during the Mageplague).

Hello,

I tried installing this mod with BG3ModManager, but upon loading my save, I can no longer fast travel or for example read any books. Any idea what's gone wrong here? Thanks for your efforts.

Nothing to do with this mod. Update your script extender. Patch 4 broke it and is causing that issue you had. I had it too.

P.s. You don't even need script extenders or mod fixer that for this mod.

This is just character visuals, shouldn't effect anything else. Good luck!
