Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General NUDE MOD

I had a nude mod for this game but it does not seem to work anymore. Does someone have a nude mod that works?The bottom line is I also can't get any mods to work. Anyone know what I doing wrong??

The fact that one person made, and another person wants to use, a nude mod on an early access game that already includes some nudity and sex, just makes me shake my head and cringe.

Why?

Priests of Eilistraee deserve a nude mod.

Hell, Eilistraee deserves a nude mod.

Because its cringe, peak BG3 Fandom though.

it's cringe because it's cringe. Nothing wrong with that logic eh?

Cringeception.

"...it's cringes all the way down."

Ah, reminds me years ago when I installed a nude mode for Oblivion, because I found looted bodies lying in their underwear too comical and broke my immersion.

It makes perfect sense: nature abhors a vacuum and you abhor wasted underwear.

I think that if I am ever in a positions IRL to loot my enemies that I will leave them their underwear.

I mean....

If the end product leaves us with welded on, uncomfortable-looking leather underwear, that we can't voluntarily remove or change, I'm definitely going to be keeping my eyes open for a mod that will rectify that in a tasteful way.

To be fair, underwears are quite recent invention in human history.

Therefore, it would be appropriate or immersive that nobody wears any underwear in MEDIEVAL fantasy setting.

Yes this is why, good sir, BG3 characters should be naked beneath their cloths.

That's how cringeworthiness works.



I don't know about you but no matter what I wear I am always naked beneath my clothes



+1 for edible underwear

RPG nerds use to play BG1/BG2 in the 90s.
Now we have perverds and wankers playing cinematic nude fantasy games.

I suppose someone at some point mistaken High Fantasy genre, with erotic fantasy.

Probably sometime around when Frazetta started drawing

You should take a peek to the WoD/Vampire community.

Jesus Christ, what have I just read? And what on earth has happened to the BG series? FFS

You say that as though the RPG nerds of twenty years ago were NOT also predominately horny teens...

I am going to offer some advice to the OP.

Games in EA are always making changes and expecting any mod to work after a patch in EA is overly optimistic.

If you can't play with any mod, no matter what it is, EA may not be for you.

There are people out there, that would take one look at Baldurs gate 3, see that it has romance and animated sex in it, and call it a cinematic nude fantasy game.

I mean..they're not wrong. do you remember how much time Larian spent talking about the sexy storyboards? Just check out the subreddit and the amount of thirst going on there.

Please do this. Oh I did find this... now. Yes I want this!

Medieval people were totally wearing underwear, but not the kind that we wear nowadays. I get your point thought, the underwear in BG3 is a couple centuries too modern.

Chemises, under-bodices and braies aren't as sexy though, lets be honest.

Just out of curisosity ...
Wich century you think is in BG-3, compared to our world? And more specificly ... based on what?

Much of the sword coast presents itself as a euro-centric late medieval fantasy setting. There are many other styles involved in the wider world of Toril (Rashemen and Icewind Dale are very heavily Conan inspired), but it should be mentioned that the styles of fantasy involved in the creation of DnD as a whole come from many varied sources set in many different assumed time periods, and as such the stylistic aesthetics of Toril change dramatically depending on where you are. Same is true for the fashion. And all of it is completely irrelevant because I don't actually want a true to middle ages mudcore aesthetic in my high fantasy video game, so having modern underwear isn't really a problem.

For the record: Faerun, and the Sword Coast in particular, are, economically and technologically, designed to be comparable to a roughly western european setting, as of the late middle-ages, and that is and has been an established element of the realms' core lore since first edition - literally every source that ever describes this and draws a parallel or analogy, draws this one, because that is what it is pitched as, directly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faerun
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgotten_Realms


The realms as a whole are extremely culturally and ethnically diverse, and if we were set in Chult, or in Kara-Tur, or Maztica, this would be different - then we'd be in fantasy equivalents of ancient african or east asian cultures.... but we're on the Sword Coast, which is a close approximation in terms of its culture, economy and technological level as being of late middle-age western Euope, and has always been established as such.

Interesting ...
Thanks.

Piff kinda beat me to the info, but I agree that I wouldn't want to be locked into extremely boring strict middle-age unders... I'd also really like to be able to choose from a variety of different options for knickers for my characters... but if they won't give us that, I'd jsut prefer nothing so obviously modern-era that it becomes jarring.

On the side topic... I'd actually really love to have some adventure campaigns shine broader spotlights on some of the less commonly depicted regions of Toril... Faerun itself is just one continent of several, that make up the material plane.

This setting is vaguely medieval with occasional spots of lower/higher technological and cultural development. Still, contemporary underwear in the Realms feels anachronistic.

It does a bit but I recall a fresco from the Villa Romana Del Casale that shows females in (sort of) "Bra" and "undies" playing sport. So maybe the Sword Coast guild of under ware and ancillary appendages (presumably it exists) had similar thoughts. Wonder why it didn't catch on.... As for a nude mod, not my highest priority for the game but might install one in the future to add a bit more edge and interest.

I believe nudity is natural... Example CONAN the Barbarian see the old movies mostly violence yes, but a bit nudity. In Dnd there is Barbarian class often half naked warrior (if woman with bra covering of course). However nudity and sex exists in DnD world to some degree.

Well and if we talk about one of the oldest profession in the world Prostitution in the world. For each country of course with their own laws nowadays:


Oh there existed nudity to KINGDOM COME in medieval times in some places. Pre medieval times aka Roman empire they were know for orgies and prostitution and swinger parties to KINGDOM COME. Well and slaves... that had no say with whom they had sex if master (man or woman master).

Now I am not any pro slavery and Roman culture built example acveducts. Roman culture was not evil in my eyes though a bit cruel and it was typical with slavery during that time regardless if you are Roman or Barbarian.

That nudity is natural is not that important in this context. Real world primitive tribal people (a la Conan style) usually don't go naked, although some do/did. They often show a naked torso and even more often naked legs and often go barefoot. Because they usually arrange their clothing according to the climate and it's needs. So that the "naked savage" (usually a loincloth or something similar is worn) seems to be the much more intelligent person than the "civilised people" who often stick to their culturally/religiously imposed full body clothing even in hot climates.

The world of Conan is oriented more to antiquity of the Iron Age, back to the Late Bronze Age, although their are also medieval influences. Conan wears what is needed. He appears just in a loincloth or wears full clothing in the cold. He uses armor and shields if necessary or available and often a helmet saved his life. Sometimes he fights totally unarmored. I bet that Howard based Conan partly on the classical barbarians and partly of the NA natives.

I find the Sword Coast late medieval setting utterly boring, for example the usual clothes or leather armor. Larian got that stuff right visually, it's just that I don't like the style of the stuff. I prefer people who show some skin, like in an ancient setting with less pants and boots, but it is as it is. If I play as Barbarian, I will use a "loincloth only" approach (currently made possible by the Basket of Equipment mod, f.e. with a Barbarian armor without pants and several kilt-like attires).

I usually install Nude mods but my char or the NPCs never go naked in my games, so such a mod is very low on my priority list. I would much prefer a mod which made different hairy and hairless skin variants available, as I don't want to play as halfelf or human with hairy torso.

If medieval realism is the objective, then by all means let's have unshaven legs, armpits and genital areas too.

Realism is a spice, my friend: use as much as is needed, but don't be surprised if a dish (campaign) primarily composed of realism elicits revulsion.

Very nice, however a bit too curvaceous for me.

BTW, some mail attachments sewn onto the cloth and it's the perfect armor.

I like curves. Uh...that aside, there is some basis in reality for the character's figure: nobles during "that time" would likely be fuller/heavier than the common folk. Plus, the studying required to become a mage leaves little time for physical exertions. You could argue that her activist nature would have put her at odds with the typical lifestyle of her aristocratic contemporaries, but I still don't picture the lady as particularly slim.

I'm absolutely ok with your picture, I like it (is it Daz studio or a similar program?). All is personal taste and every taste is valid. I prefer skinny, more androgynous types, a bit boyish/tough women and more feminine men and would make my "actors" alike.

If we look at the preferred type of body throught the times, it changes, as you said. In the European late medieval period, women should have small breasts and a relatively lean body, if we look a century and more later, they should be very"voluptuos". That tells not much about personal affectations which existed surely in every era independent from official rulesets. I think your lady would have attracted a great lot of people through the times.

Funny how tastes differ, one side likes the curves the other "dislikes" them, and i am struggling to even find any curves, to me she looks like a malnourished 12 year old boy with a very minor boob-job.

I suppose you really really approve of curvature .

i'm not so much of a nude person. i feel awkward for having nude mod but i don't oppose whoever want or like it. on the other hand i'm more positive on wanting more body types which include curvy. nowadays many game devs seems to shy away from curvy body. many devs preached inclusiveness with plus size or bigger body size or less curvier body. it's a plus to have options. its great really if people want flat body by all means. but don't preach inclusiveness but remove curvy body. that sounds more like hippocricy.

witcher 3 is a good example and worst dragon age inquisition. you don't have to be blind to tell a difference with old morrigan and the morrigan in inquisition. is it wrong to have curvy body? why go all the way is body shaming morrigan? i don't get it unless they do it purposely on an agenda. that's not inclusiveness that's hippocricy.

Haha

Just like with the "cartoonishness" and the "lighthearted lulz tone" arguments, it's amusing to see how little people remember/choose to remember about BG1 and 2 when looking to find any arguments against BG3's visuals/writing/anything, really.

BG1 had the kissy nymph in the middle of the wilderness, a nobleman's daughter hiding a naked guy in the drawer, the, er, easy cook lady in the Cloakwood mines with dialogue that doesn't exactly juggle euphemisms, and two brothel areas in Baldur's Gate (albeit, um, uninteractive).

BG2, apart from the romances (which took a lot more commitment and were drawn across a long stretch of time, true, but you do get introduced to Viconia's tragic assault survivor backstory pretty much immediately), had that one drow girl practically forcing herself on the PC if you took a certain path in Ched Nasad, somewhat questionable implications as to why Irenicus had vats full of female clones of a certain someone, and full-on nude mariliths (courtesy of Icewind Dale) and succubi in the Watcher's Keep.

It obviosuly wasn't nearly as graphic, but the BG games have always been pervy in a very edgy manner, which this one still is, I'd say. The "evil" path literally rewards you with a waifu, not unlike the aforementioned Ched Nasad segment.

You're conflating two groups and in an odd way to boot; the people who remark that BG3 is far more zany/over-the-top with its particular brand of humor compared to its predecessors are among the first to point out the first two games did feature nudity/sex/sexuality.


P.S. The presence of nudity/sex/sexuality does not automatically/inherently indicate perversion, despite what some people think.

I don't conflate them, I am merely pointing out that it's yet another misconception that exists, potentially because the people played those games long ago or have arbitrarily forgotten about certain things.


I meant it in a light-hearted way. BG1 in particular was a carousel of random nonsense, including an occassional below-the-belt moment/joke just for the heck of it (Imoen's "trollops and plug-tails" quote immediately comes to mind). Whereas 2 would go down the aforementioned "edgy" direction with the stuff, making it unsurprising that the same writers/authors would later be responsible for the Dragon Age games. They are anything but down-to-earth and matter-of-factly with the subject matter in question (the "This is the new sh*t" trailer back in the day was... a choice). If anything, the tone in BG3 is quite similar to the one from the older DA games, before they turned the setting into a hipster coffee parlor.

In all seriousness, though, I would say that the nude models in the game still could use another pass both in sculpting and rigging. There's a distinct shortage of polygons in the, er, chest region (better than it was before Patch 4, but the male bodies still look somewhat jagged and the female ones have a weird stilted feel about them) and the joint areas (you could cut wood (pun intended) with those elbows and knees), and whenever the characters are in any pose that isn't relatively straight there's a lot of clipping and any modelling faults can be easily observed if you pause to look at them (there was (still is?) a whole thread with a whole essay on the subject). We've left the noodle-armed Minthara behind, but it's still uncanny-valleish enough to be awkward.

Threads are still there ^.^ I just don't have an clarity on what I can and can't post in relation to my work.

Though, on that topic - breasts on female characters are solid rock objects with absolutely zero physics and zero gravity - they're solid lumps that stand up and jut out regardless of position and angle, and that's just laughable for anyone attempting to depict them in a nude or intimate scene, in today's game space. It's pretty ridiculous.

Brainer, if you read up on the Realms/Toril in extensive detail, you'll find out that the world is - on the whole - exceptionally liberal in regards to sex.

I am aware. Salvatore's first book doesn't really shy away from showing that the drow "entrance into adulthood" ritual is a giant drugged orgy.

Again, I am mostly being cheeky for the sake of levity, because boy if there aren't legions of whiners out there, and with the EA being well into its second year it's starting to get a little grating.

I was thinking that this game is played and make by adults. Why you cringe when you see women breast? This is not game for purist IT is fantasy game where you can be anyone.

Of course this game will have NUDE mods at least one.
Same thing with SKYRIM. Skyrim game does not have nude without MODS.

However if BG3 is going to be for NUDE BABES that is up to Larian developers like example Witcher 3. I would not be my money on that BG3 is going to have full nudity in campaign like Witcher 3, but it will have violcence and perhaps Horror effects for 18+ age.

That said MODS are community freedom. If you do not want the nude mode then simply do not install it.
Saying things like back in the day BG1 and BG2 did not have nudity is pointless. Because back in the days when BG1 and BG2 was released there did not exist any mods.

I do no need this game so Larian enforce full nudity in campaign like Witcher 3, but that said at least nude mods than you from community example nude mods as in Skyrim! Well and no this is not some childrens game this is not going for some teens age rating!

I also like Horror and brutal action in movies and games and absolutely do not want this game going for low age rating.
What your young teen will play anyway? That is up to parents to be guards.
Offtopic about parents guard:

No comment on most of your post But I modded the ever living snot out of the OG BG games. Many downloads. Specialty Priest of Gruumsh, Anti-Paladin, Blade Singer, etc and their special spells and weapons. It was very simple to mod them. Graphics wise (I assume this was what you ment) was beyond my means, but I do remember some. But no nudes IIRC… to pixilated maybe?

I do not know how to do nude, but in SKYRIM you can do nude mods. I do not any mods, but I simple play them. There are other people that want to do mods and everyone do what they want.

I would guess BG3 is released within first 6 months into 2023 example January-June 2023. This is my best guess. Of course I could be wrong maybe in come out September 2023 or January 2024.

Now anything is possible theoretically I am not going to complain if Larian would release to Christmas 2022 and I would be very happy if that happens. That said from what I have understood 2023.

Well and if BG3 is released in January-December 2023 then still can come out more mods after BG3 release example in December 2023.
