Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Adds Plus-Sized Body Type
Baldur's Gate 3 has a great character, but it's surprisingly limited in areas. While you have plenty of hairstyles, tattoos, and makeup shades to choose from, you only have a few body types - and none of them have any kind of chub.
But now, PC players can download a mod that fixes that. Plus-Size Tav by Nexus Mods user MangoPunch gives you a new body type in the character creator. Now, any humanoid race - humans, elves, half-elves, drow, tieflings, and githyanki - can be plus-sized, mixing it up from their usual choices of either being petite or muscular.
The mod even adds plus-sized compatibility to some of the clothing and armour in the game, with more planned in future updates. So, while you might run into some issues the further you get in the game, there should be enough to get your playthrough started.
Right now, the mod only affects body type 1, as you can see in the image above. MangoPunch plans to create a model for body type 2, so we can expect that in a future update as well.
Alas, Baldur's Gate 3's body types are even more restrictive if you play as a non-humanoid, like dwarves, gnomes, halflings, half-orcs, and dragonborn.
At the very least, the next Baldur's Gate 3 patch is poised to add mod support, which should hopefully make the lives of creators like MangoPunch much easier. Larian has even mentioned looking into cross-platform mod support, so mods won't get in the way of cross-plat multiplayer when it's finally added to the game. It doesn't seem that this will be ready for Patch 7 though - and if it is, Larian is keeping very quiet about it.
Patch 7 will likely drop very soon, with the devs already dropping a tease for its new features. This includes new evil ending cinematics, and based on what we've seen so far, they're going to be nasty.
