About this mod

Changes Shadowheart's hairstyle to one closer to the promotional art

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Please use this mod if you'd like to retain her default (read:this) hair after she alters it

Otherwise please manually switch, or you can rename one of the GR2s to HAIR_HUM_F_Shadowheart_Wrath_A_Spring.GR2


You DON'T need the BG3 Mod Installer, and you DON'T need the Mod Fixer.

1) Download the 3 rar files for this mod:
   If you want brown or black hair in the 'Fluffy' style parted on her
left, you only need the main file ('Shadowheart Alt Hair')
   If you want a different color, you also need the 'Pick a Color' file.
   If you want an alternate style, you also need the 'Pick a Style' file.

2) Explore inside the .rar files, and you'll see the following folders:
    Main:
        Recommended\Data\Generated
        Recommended\Data\Public
    Pick a Color:
        Pick a Color\Ash\Data\Public
        Pick a Color\Auburn\Data\Public
        Pick a Color\Blonde\Data\Public
        etc
    Pick a Style:
        Pick a Style\Fluffy\Left\Data\Generated
        Pick a Style\Fluffy\Right\Data\Generated
        Pick a Style\Smooth\Left\Data\Generated
        Pick a Style\Smooth\Right\Data\Generated
   The 'Generated' folder determines the style, and the 'Public' folder determines the color.
   In the main rar file, the Generated folder contains the Fluffy Left style, and the Public folder contains Brown hair.

3) Pick the combo you want. Examples:
    Brown hair, Fluffy, part on the Left:Main Generated + Main Public
    Brown Hair, Smooth, part on the Right:Smooth\Right Generated + Main Public
    Blonde hair, Fluffy, part on the Left:Main Generated + Blonde Public
    Auburn hair, Fluffy, part on the Right:Fluffy\Left Generated + Auburn Public

   What if you want black?  Simple: You don't need any Public folder at
all!  That will make the game revert to her standard hair color.


4) Now you've picked your combo. How to install it? If you have a steam install, find this folder. It's full of .pak files.
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data

   Copy your chosen files into this folder.  For example, I wanted the
Fluffy style + black hair, so my "Baldurs Gate 3\Data" folder looks like
this:
    Generated
    Localization
    A bunch of .pak files
The Localization + pak files were all there when I started, part of the
base game. The Generated folder is from the mod.  If I had wanted a hair
color besides black, I'd also have a Public folder here.

5) That's it, it's now installed.  Boot up the game.  You will get a warning about a Data Mismatch: You can ignore that.

Changes Shadowheart's hairstyle to one closer to the promotional art.

I did not create this hair, it exists in the game files, but without any ponytail physics.

A work in progress.

  • v5, v5m Remade Fluffy version from scratch, slimmed down brown reqs, smooth version is the same as ever.

  •  v4, v4m Finally updated from when they changed how hair looks in Patch 7(?)

  • v3.1, v3.1M Fixed physics. That's my bad, sorry for crashing your games.

  • v3, v3M Updated for Patch 4. Fluffy sideswept style is now parted on the other side, because neither LSLib nor Blender would cooperate on this matter. It's not really important anyway, the loading screens flip it around too.

  • v2 Plug and Play, installs normally

Futher adjusts hair color

Adjusts hair part, chain position

  • v2M - Optional files, organized by style and color, so you can choose what you prefer.

  • v1 - Added physics, renamed to write over the mesh the game pulls.
Adjusted hair shade to not be pitch black, currently as light as I can make it without intense streaks.
