A simple edited face tattoo file that replace one face tattoo with hand painted thick stubble by me.
Want to create a more rugged and haggardly handsome Tav, or just simply tired of your Tav's patchy and thin beard?
Give them this dose of Faerun's minoxidil to sprout it instantly. Embrace your potential for a lust and full beard. Today.

DISCLAIMER: May have some minor side effects like feminine NPCs in the game
can also sport the same stubble as you in the full version.

Some notes:

  • Because this affect the face tattoo directly all race and body type that can get face tattoo can use it, including custom heads and elves.
  • The stubble will behave as a tattoo so you can choose colors and intensity to match your hair.
  • This file will get priority over base game file so the game will load this file instead. Any NPC using the same face tattoo will get the same stubble as your Tav, same with edited companions.

There are 3 version of this, CHOOSE ONE:
[SINGLE_tattoo]: Replacing one tattoo, the one with words under one eye (Sinner Cheekbone), with the stubble. Use this if you just want the stubble with out any face tattoo.

[ALL_tattoo_but_one]: Same as above but now every other tattoos got a stubble include with it, while still have one version of stubble without face tattoo. Using this also mean any NPCs with face tattoo will get the stubble too regardless of race and gender, like that one gurl in the Gur camp in Act 3.

[Make_Up Version]: Replace first make up style with this stubble, now you can have separate tattoo and stubble color.

Installation:
  • Choose one version and extract the zipped content into your BG3 Data file folder, can be located at
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data

    Uninstallation:
  • Delete the “Skin_Atlas_Head_SHR_Tattoo_A_MSK1.DDS” file from
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\_SharedAssets\SHARED_Atlas\Resources
  • The game will now load the base game file instead.

    Known issue:
  • While I tried my best to align the beard stubble to the face tattoo map, there are some slight mismatch in the [ALL tattoo but one] version.
  • Some heads would load the files weirdly due to how the texture stretched over the mesh so some areas would get distorted, or straggling texture, or placed a bit too high on the model.
  • Some custom head mod that add head of in-game NPCs like Halsin, Minsc… don’t use Tav’s face tattoo file so this would not work on those.

    Compatibility:

    Any mod changing the same file will replace this mod, you will have to choose one:
    Example: Discreet Facial Hair edited the same file.
    If you are using soriyumi’s Upscale Tattoo and Make Up just replace their file with this file, I edited on their file so it’s the same quality.

    Thank you for the modding community for helping me with basics of editing game files,
    and to soriyumi for their base Upscale Tattoo file.
