Some of my own scar edits are also available for download. The first one is inspired by Resurrected Jon Snow by Bella Bergolts and the second one is just some random burns I thought would fit well for Visenya! (needs some tweaking on the jaw, it is kind of choppy) and also includes my slightly edited base game scar for Freyja to be more prominent on her blind eye.
Thank you to HeartsWires for permitting me to upload these as I used some of their files as a base!
The scar file goes in your GENERATED folder. It will replace scars 7, 8 and 9. If you would like me to switch the scar slot let me know!

My ReShade Preset (Baratheon)
None of my preview photos are edited, these are direct screenshots from my game using otis tools camera and my reshade preset.
FOR CERTAIN HAIRS AND STUFF TO SHOW UP WITH THIS YOU NEED Patches for CC Races.lsx - PUT IT AT THE BOTTOM OF UR LOAD ORDER
IF YOUR EXPRESSIONS SEEM "TOO MUCH" OR TOO MANY EXPRESSION WRINKLES, USE THIS MOD. I USE VANILLA-LIKE.
KNOWN ISSUES/WEIRD STUFF TO FIX
Some piercings may not fit well.
The male tieflings have a weird neck seam at the back idk how to fit it properly in blender (still)
Some base game tiefling horns may not connect with the forehead for my male tieflings, but most modded horns work well.
There might be some buggy eye action going on, I haven't seen it myself but please let me know if there is. Some of the lashes do not follow the eyelid when blinking, but it isn't super noticeable.
Some of their eyes don't close fully, I can't do anything about this if I want to keep their eye shapes the way they are.
The teeth might be aligned weirdly; I tested what I could so let me know if the teeth look fucked up.
IGNORE the neck seam on the fem tieflings in my screenshots, my tiefling body textures are glithced and idk why lol. The neck matches with the proper skin textures.

Hey! If it’s not too much trouble, could you tell me what hair was used for Tiefling Renaesa? Thanks so much!
what hair did you use for Aerymor in the no makeup/scale image?
It is the base game “Eyrie Peak” and “VCC_Topknot_Fringe” in P4’s Bangs Bangs mod!
Hi there! Apologies if this is a silly thing to inquire about, but I just started downloading your presets, and I noticed the V.1.4 folder for this mod was empty. I was just curious if this was intentional or if it's possible I'm missing something. ^^; Regardless, if you read this, then thanks for your time! :D
Hello! It’s intentional. It will be updated soon. Right now, v.1.3 is the most recent.
Hello Mantis! i am obsessed with Aerymor's head! its perfect for my OC!!! i was wondering if there is any chance you could make it compatible with the t4 body? if not its totally fine, I will still love him anyway :)
I can try! I haven't tried to convert to T3 and T4 yet, but if I can do it well, I will!
Could you please tell me which makeup and skin color you used for Visenya? Thanks!
Hi! I used these: NPC_Minthara (Bangs Bangs Everywhere), Tav’s Hairpack 26 (Tepkunset’s Hair), Spruce (Tav’s Hair Mixer) - these are all linked in the mod list in the post :)
can i have your discord link? ♥
Hi Mantis! I love your mods! If it's not a bother, could you please tell me which hairstyle you used for Freyja? Thanks!
I used Rich Torbartiz (key suspect's hair) and layered lob frigne 03 (bangs bangs everywhere)
Heyy quick question, for lessening wrinkles, which file do you use in the mod? Because I have the shadowheart file downloaded and I think the wrinkles are still there. thank u!
Hello! If they are still there, I recommend using the softer still one or the one that removes them completely!
Hi mantis. Love the work, how did you do the hair for Aeron it looks really good.
Hello! I used these: Willow_tears_fringe (Bangs Bangs Everywhere), Hunter (Simple Hairs), Waterdavian Scholar(npc & vanilla hair mixer) - the links can all be found in the post 😊
Hello! So I updated this mod in the middle of a playthrough and I stupidly didn't keep the old version as a backup. My save won't load now (it thinks I don't have the mod) and I can't go back a version. Any chance you have the previous version anywhere? Thanks either way!
I believe I do. I’m at work at the moment but will provide it to you once I am home!
Hello Mantis, firstable thank you for the presets, they're looks amazing. Absolutely loved it ! Also i'd like to ask what hairstyle used on Aeyla and Visenya ? And as a suggestion i think it would be better if you also give information about what hair and color-eye color- skin tone etc. used on presets so people like me could achieve same look as shows on photos. Thanks in advance ^^
Hello! For Visenya: NPC_Minthara (Bangs Bangs Everywhere), Tav’s Hairpack 26 (Tepkunset’s Hair), Spruce (Tav’s Hair Mixer) ; for aeyla: Layered_Lob_Fringe_03 (Bangs Bangs Everywhere), Mirror (Long Hairs). I do post the exact sliders I use, but only in my discord for now!
These heads are all so beautiful! I've always downloaded your work from when you still uploaded to nexusmods. Amazing, as always! I've got to ask though: I have the Eyes of the Beholder mod, and the glow on the eyes doesn't work on these heads. I see you have Astralities' Glow Eyes on your mod list. Is that a better eye mod, you think? I'm quite unsure if I should make the change and use that instead.
I haven't patched these for EOTB yet, but I plan to do patch all of my head mods for it soon. I prefer Astralities' Glow Eyes, but Astralities has not patched their mod for this head yet, so only the male ones glow for now!
You're amazing!!! I'm using Aayla rn and I'm obsessed, she's gorgeous. <3 Thanks so much for sharing!
Hello Mantis, I really like your mods and I was wondering if I could include these in a Baldur's Gate 3 modlist, it is not a reupload or anything, users will still use the downloads links here, through an automatic installer, and thank you for these amazing presets.
Sure that’s fine!
Please Mantis, what is the first pic hairstyle on Aerymor? <3
Willow_tears_fringe (bangs bangs everywhere), simple ponytail with gold band (Ghouls Simple Braid and Ponytail Hairstyle), windblown (npc and vanilla hair mixer)
AAAHHH i was so excited seeing the previews, can't wait to use these in my games! thank you so much for creating such unique and gorgeous heads, they're my biggest inspiration for learning blender <3
So beautiful

These are all SO GOOD, I want them ALLLLLL
So so proud of you! This is a HUGE set! You put so much hard work into this! These presets are INCREDIBLE bb! 💚💚💚 Thank you for honoring my OC-baby, Gwen. 💚
