Baldur's Better Aesthetics is an attempt to make Baldur's Gate 3 look more like Faerûn as we know it. If you are like me, I trust you made a double-take or two at the sheer number of shaved Dwarves wandering around the city as if they were not by their very presence in public bringing great and lasting shame on their ancestors. Babyface Dwarves? With this mod installed, most of the male Dwarves you encounter across Baldur's Gate will now be sporting big, bushy beards, as one would expect of the Dwarves across Faerûn and other fantasy worlds. In addition, more Duergar will be bald (including the women!) and fewer Githyanki will have facial hair. You'll also see fewer Chultans, but more Calishites, and NO pink-haired Half-Orcs! These changes aren't universal, but you will certainly notice a difference!

This is amazing! Thank you! As someone who isn't too familiar with modding, where do I drag the three folders to in order to make this work? Or do I just keep them in the mods folder?
Just copy/paste the three folders (Localization, Mods, Public) into the 'Data' folder located in the BG3 install directory, for example \GOG\Baldurs Gate 3\Data.
You might want to make a backup copy of the original English.pak in the Localization folder (located at \GOG\Baldurs Gate 3\Data\Localization) before allowing it to be overwritten by the modified one, in case you'll have to roll back to an unmodified version of BG3.
Thanks for keeping this up-to-date, much appreciated.
This worked perfectly until the latest hot-fix (His Majesty is now just a floating head) Is there a way to fix that or will there be a patch?
Hello. You might want to download the minimalist version of this mod here:
Rpghq.org
The floating head bug exists because the mod overwriters some characters even if they have not been changed. This fixes it.
