Shadowheart Hair Tweak

Nexus Mods


Shadowheart's vanilla hair, in my opinion, is a good idea with a poor execution. I like the idea of Shadowheart having an alternative, unconventional hairstyle, but to me the way the front frames her face reminds me more of a helmet than realistic hair. While this could have been intentional (something something "Shadowheart aspires to be a True Warrior of Shar"), to me it just looks unnatural. It's so *close* to looking good, though, and I've seen many pieces of wonderful fan art that execute it so nicely, so I thought I'd try my hand at tweaking it to my liking.  
  
**Long-winded opening aside, what this mod actually** ***does**  
-* Adds more volume to her bangs- Reshapes the fringes on the side of her face  
- Resizes her circlet to fit her new bangs  
  
This mod is not compatible with any mod that changes her first hairstyle, but should be compatible with any mod that changes her hair color (like [Back to Black](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/932) by [Alkhan797](https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/users/122469853)), though I have not tested this.  
  
**Installation**: Extract the contents of the .zip folder into your Baldurs Gate 3\Data folder.   
The file path should look something like [SteamLibrary Location]\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data.   
Once extracted, the filepath should read [SteamLibrary   
Location]\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate   
3\Data\Generated\Public\SharedDev\Assets\Characters\\_Models\Humans\Resources" for the circlet and "...Humans\\_Female\\_Hair\Resources for the hair.  
  
**Uninstallation**: Delete "HUM\_F\_NKD\_Hair\_Shadowheart\_Evil\_Circlet" from the "Humans\Resources" folder and "HAIR\_HUM\_F\_Shadowheart\_Spring" from the "\_Hair/Resources" folder.  
  
**Note**: The circlet is it's own mesh, which if used without the new hair mesh, will appear as if it's floating off of her forehead. Since this mod does not affect her second hairstyle, it is recommended to remove the circlet once she changes in Act 3. Optionally, you can also delete my version of the circlet and use the vanilla version by deleting the "HUM\_F\_NKD\_Hair\_Shadowheart\_Evil\_Circlet.GR2" from the "Humans\Resources" folder   
  
There are no known issues at this time, but please let me know if you run into any! I am particularly bad at spelling, so while I double checked I may have messed up the file path names, which would cause issues 😅 If it doesn't show up in your game please let me know!
