Baldur’s Gate 3 Modding Tutorial - How to Swap Your Character’s Head Preset Mid-game

Got a bunch of messages asking how I did this without restarting, so I thought I’d write out a quick tutorial.

1 - Extract the Models.pak file from your game directory's Data folder somewhere using the lslib tool. I don't recommend extracting it to your game directory because you won't need all the files, it can get kinda messy, and it might cause issues in future updates. Just put them in a random folder on your desktop for now or something. I'll refer to this folder as the extracted folder for now.

2 - Figure out which preset your character is currently using (mine was the Elf Female A), and which one you'd like to swap it out for. Keep in mind, you can’t use one from a different gender/race without issues.

*I used one from the “New Character Creation Presets WIP” mod. If also using this mod, you need to install it as normal, then extract the mod's own .pak file before continuing.

3 - Find the .gr2 file of the new preset you want, and copy it into your game's directory. For me, it goes to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Anims\Elves\_Female\Resources The exact directory will vary depending on your race/gender (refer to the extracted folders for help). If you don’t have the folders needed inside your game directory, then create them.

4 - Rename the .gr2 file you just moved to be what the old preset was named. For me, Kaari.gr2 became ELF_F_NKD_Head_A.gr2

Optional:

5 - If you want to also use the new head’s skin texture (and/or edit the skin yourself), just copy the three .dds files from your extracted Data\Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models etc folder, then place them in your game directory. For me, I put them in Data\Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\Elves\ELF_F_NKD\ELF_F_Head_A\Resources

6 - Rename accordingly, just like with the .gr2 files. For me, Kaari_CLEA.dds became ELF_F_NKD_Head_A_CLEA.dds and so on. Do this for the other two .dds files as well.

Load your game and that's it! It should now replace the previous head with the new one. Your character's icon will still look like the old one unfortunately. I'll try to find out how to fix it.

Luckily, we found someone in the Grove who had done some smithing in the hells.

Introduced Dammon to Karlach, and he thinks he can do something for her engine. We just need to find some infernal iron for her engine, and we can get it fixed.

Now we just need to stop getting attacked by goblins and getting sidetracked by creepy books...

Temporary fix for anyone who's unable to play patch 5 of BG3 due to the "different mod settings" warning

You'll need: - lslib tool - Notepad++ (or any other notepad program) - To back up your saves before touching them (on Windows, mine is located at %LOCALAPPDATA%/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/PlayerProfiles/Public/Savegames/Story)

Instructions: - Run ConverterApp.exe from the lslib tool - Click the PAK / LSV Tools tab - Under Extract Package, click the three dots to the right of Package path and find your chosen save's .lsv file in your save directory (it'll be inside any of the folder's along with an image) - Click the three dots to the right of Destination path and direct it to some random folder for now (it can be deleted later) - Hit Convert - Click the LSX / LSB / LSF /LSJ Tools tab in LSLib - Click the three dots to the right of Input file path and find the meta.lsf you just extracted, then copy and paste that directory - Inside the Output file path box, paste the entire meta.lsf directory, but change .lsf to .lsx - Delete your old meta.lsf - Open the meta.lsx file in Notepad++ (or any other notepad program) and scroll down until you find the mod(s) preventing you from loading your saves - Delete the entire paragraph of said mod, from <node id="ModuleShortDesc"> to </node> - Save - In LSLib, convert the meta.lsx to meta.lsf much like you did above, just in reverse order - Delete the meta.lsx file - In LSLib, click on the PAK / LSV Tools tab - Under Create Package, click the three dots to the right of Source path and find the extracted folder you've been working in - Click the three dots to the right of Package path, name the file the same as the original .lsv, then set it to a random folder - Click Create Package - Copy and replace your newly created .lsv file into the same directory you originally used under %LOCALAPPDATA%/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/PlayerProfiles/Public/Savegames/Story

That's it! If you did everything correctly, you should be able to open your game and load that edited save file just fine.

I don't think villains should be punished for objectively funny crimes

finally played some DAO again, sided with the werewolves so the dalish are dead sadly. and now I have to either do the mage tower (what I hate) or Orzammar (what I also hate), so really there's no winning here but at least once I'm done with them I never have to go back
