Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 - The Modding Dungeon Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Modding General How to edit Companion Appearance?

For example, Lohse's default hair style is 7, I want change it to 9. Sebille's default face is 7, I want change it to 8.
I now have Divinity Engine 2 and pak extractor, which file should I edit?

Thanks.

Hello!

We have a wiki page on Making an origin character. This explains that you can make a custom origin by putting an origin preset file in the shown location (YourMod/CharacterCreation/OriginPresets) and explains the different properties you can edit.

Our page for modding existing origins is not yet written (apologies for that) but it follows the same principle. Put the origin preset file called Lohse.lsx in "YourMod/CharacterCreation/OriginPresets". If it has the same name, it will override the original.

To access the Lohse.lsx file, you'll have to unpack our DivinityOrigins mod.

Hi, I have access Lohse.lsx file, but appearance info seems not inside it.
My aim is changing premade companion's appearance while playing the custom character.

Thanks.

I too would like know how to modify a companion‘s appearance. I also extracted the Lohse.lsx – but there is nothing about her hair style or face style in there...

How can you change her appearance? :)

(Awesome game btw!!! :) )

Lohse's appearance can probably be changed by copying the global S_Player_Lohse character to your mod and then changing the visual set parameters of this character (or possibly by changing her root template altogether).

Have the same problem. I would be more than happy to change the appearence of Lohse, so that when I meet her and make her join my party, I would add the "edited" version of that original character. Is there a verified way to do that, can someone explain how to do that step by step (never tried to do such a thing before)? Do I need some tool? If anyone succeded in doing that, could post here his trick? thank you in advance!! :-)

Hello. You can do it following this.

Make sure editor data is installed.



Create a new Addon. Select Load data from Story and Target it for Story.


Open level browser. Hit Show Inherited Levels to show levels from main campaign. Find FortJoy. Open it


In World Outliner search for ‘Lohse’


Check out the object using this button



You will be able to edit properties of the character. You are interested in Visual Set Indices


Click inside the field with numbers, there will be a tiny button with 3 dots, click it to edit the property.

There are selectors for different visual properties. You are looking for face type, hair, and colors of those.



Change the settings and don’t forget to save. Also when the window will be closed, don’t forget to hit save the project itself.


Start the game. Go to mods. Activate your mod. Don’t forget to confirm.



Start new campaign. This is our new Lohse.



Meet her in game.

I hope you will find it useful. Happy modding

Do you have to start a new game for that or will it work on existing saves as well?

Thank you Cadmus88!!!!

Awesome. Can I also change Lohse`s race with this?

This will work well only with new game, cause Lohse is global character and is already set in save game. There is mod that bring Magic Mirror in act 1 allowing to change appearance

It is similar process - you need edit her settings, but it will be a bit different. You will need to change her root template into one of lizard's and you need to fix her tags - remove HUMAN and set LIZARD

I hate to ask this, but I have a weird bug where I cannot download the engine data (DLC tab is missing from my game). Could someone create a custom Lohse file where Lohse is an Elf?

Thanks a lot in advance

Ok, so I managed to change her appearance, but how do I change her portrait as well?

The reason for not being able to use the mod in an existing save, is because Lohse will basically disappear from the game world? (She is visible, but seems to be located somewhere entirely different...)

Same thing here. I was able to change Lohse appearence, but not her in game portrait. Is there a way to change her icon/portrait accordingly? Thank you in advance for all your hints and suggestions :-)

Generating portraits does not work in the current steam version, but should be patched soon. Once the portrait generation is fixed you can follow this: https://docs.larian.game/My_first:_Custom_portrait guide to generate the icon.

Have the "Gog" version, does that warkaround work with that one?

Both Steam and GOG are the same version so both versions will have to wait for our next patch before this will be properly supported.

Our apologies for now,
Kevin
