Got it to work for me . 1. go into resculpe and chose Astarion ( you should see a model of femastarion in the males place ) 2. go to edit appearance, I moved the identifies as to female and second i chose the body type as 1 . 3. finish changing what you want , the female heads are there to choose from . 4. hit Y DO NOT RENAME !!!!!!! just leave what ever is there. 5. hit Y again to choose a guardian , do not bother doing anything . 6. hit Y again to enter back into the game. the changes stayed for me but her head in the group window remains the male astarion, minor thing for myself
Hope this helps
UPDATE . After leaving camp the group head turned to my new femstarion head so all working as intended as far as i can see
perfect! i think most likely the new update fixed whatever issues we had with editing her appearance.
fyi for other users: it might happen that when you first sculpt her, immediately the choices pending will appear. i was worried that it wasnt going to work for me so i didnt bother designing her. but despite her model having hair, the issue is that no hair is selected, or at least this was the case for me. once i changed the hair i was able to confirm changes.
also, i seem to be unable to zoom in for femstarion, period. previously, i was able to switch to mouse (i play controller) and manually select the zoom in button, but that no longer works. kind of annoying, but ill take it. im so glad i can fully design her now <3
Turns out it actually is useful even if you don't want the mod's default appearance. Without it you can resculpt Astarion to female just fine, but the game will still use male models for all equipment while in the level up screen and on the portrait. With the mod this doesn't happen (resculpt first, then install the mod to avoid glitchyness). Bonus: During the romance scene with the tattoo (which seems to use some kind of 'default' astarion) you actually get the femstarion body with the appearance edited head you chose.
*edit* forgot to mention: with this method, using a typ1 resculpted body and normal femstarion, I got ZERO slenderman glitches. The kisses were missaligned in the romance scenes, but everything else works perfectly.
That is good to know, was going to create a custom body for femstarion but it still looked too big so I scratched that, in patch 7 with modding tools they say you can adjust animations, I am assuming cutscenes as well so if that is the case I am going to be able to adjust the scenes to actual fit bod 1 in cutscenes
That is great, hopefully it will also make finding those combat grunts easier for the voice conversion guys, then the whole experience will finally be complete. :)
I am so thankful that you are going to look at these again after Patch 7. Thank you. I'm going to try body type 1 astartion now anyway. This run i did body type 3 and the cazador cut scenes failed. I'm going to try this method and see it it works this time
So, my test - Fresh game, no Femstarion installed, Resculpting (female body type 1), then Femstarion with using file "Amazon Femstarion, or "Amazon Femstarion Vemperen texture version" (second file from top) = equipment broken at leveling/respec, also with second file, little slenderman. ***I'm sure that's because using female body 1***
BUT! when using instead "Patch 5 Vemperean Head (BOD 1)" or "Reg Head Patch 5 scar inlcuded (BOD 1)", equipment not bugged, no slenderman. ** Reg version not updated portrait after Resculpting, even after leveling (sometimes). File "Patch 5 Vemperean Head (BOD 1)" updating portrait, so it's fully working version when using female body type 1.
This mod is pretty badly bugged up, IMO. I've got the same issue. The head is sunk down, the body is way deformed and the hair floats. Nothing seems to work to fix this issue, and I've yet to see a good workaround. Guess I'll just leave Astarion's body unmodded and just run his vanilla appearance through the mirror. A bit less immersive, but then..not bugged really either.
I've had no problem with the other mod, Gale Pal. I can change them up no problem in the AE Mirror. Sadly, this mod hasn't been updated in some time, and BG3 modding seems to be tapering off a bit.
it's not bug, it's because you're choosing the AMAZON file, which make the body are BUFF and bigger like AMAZON WOMAN, use the BOB1 if you want slim body and Vamperen head, took me a while to figure it out, finally edited my Fem Astarion.
Sorry to bother, but there are some issues with the mod. I used this mod to design my own Astarion, including body shape, hair, and skin color. In short, it's a completely new Astarion, and the first time I played, everything was perfect, whether in battles or cutscenes. But now, when playing in Honour Modethe has stopped working.
There's no problem during regular dialogues or battles, only during cutscenes, which is strange because the game does recognize the Astarion I made.
But in the next second:
I don't know why. I have reinstalled all the mods, but clearly, my abilities can't solve this.
If anyone is wondering why I still use this mod after completely redoing Astarion, I did consider not using it. However, testing showed that I can't achieve what I want without this mod. I don't know why, but that's how it is.
In short, my beautiful Astarion has now turned into Chonchon. I hope I can find a solution.

That's because the cutscenes use a different model than the one used just to play with, you would have to change the cutscene code in character visual to whatever id numbers match the assets you want.
Finally, I resolved the issue using Vemperen Head. Although it's not perfect, at least the problem was addressed. However, the Slenderman issue hasn't disappeared. But since Slenderman has only appeared once, it's not a big deal. Thank you. ^ ^
Noticing that your newer mods for gale or wyll are compatible with body mods like bcb. Is there any tutorial to change the body model of this mod to something else?
I'm not sure if anything can be done about this but this seems to cause the slenderman bug to occur on the Fantastical Dhampir mod, specifically for body type 2. If there's no fix, that's fine but I thought I would leave this post here in case anyone was wondering why this was happening.
Good evening, an interesting problem has arisen. The problem is as follows: if you try to switch from any member of the group to Astarion, the game freezes. Is there a solution?I found a solution)
I GOT IT TO WORK WITHOUT THE SLENDERMAN/GIRAFFE NECK BUG!!!!!
I'm using the Reg Head Patch 5 scar inlcuded (BOD 1) option. This is working on a play through where I STARTED as femstarion. Based on the comments below & my testing the issue is with the Astarion animations, so I decided to look for an animation replacer of sorts & found this one Fem animations for tav. It's working for me. EDIT: You HAVE to select Body Type 1 at the intial character creation screen & any time you resculpt with AEE.
The one conflict I could find so far is Racial Height Variation, it absolutely does not work! My mod list is a customized DifficuIty, Immersion, Quality collection with DIQ Extras. I have a little under 1500 active mods so I couldn't tell you about any other specific conflicts, but I can tell you what is running smoothly on my play through
Here's what my load order looks like for the relevant mods:
In the Middle: DarkUrgeAll - Astarion variant from the custom file Femstarion AEE AEE Origins Towards the end but not last: Unique Tav any Unique Tav patches Shadowheart Animation Swap At the very bottom of my load order: AstarionSeranaDVQR DVQR - Main DVQR - Audio 1 DVQR - Audio 2
My favorite bg3 mod ever and the only reason I'm able to finish the game without killing this mosquito... here's my Astarienne :)
She is my pookie and I love her. Still using Cat's Grace armor in second pic btw, I just transmogged it to look like the viconia robe. About to go storm Szarr's palace so I spent half an actual IRL hour making sure her lipstick looked perfect. Thank you for this amazing mod ^^
I had this same problem yesterday! It turned out that even thou the character was displaying hair in the preview - it technically did not have a hairstyle selected in the hairstyle menu! Picking a hairstyle fixed it for me!
