🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have the mod enabled in your load order before loading a save where you've already undergone ceremorphosis—it should apply retroactively.
If you're using a mod manager, just drag and drop the file; if not, place it in the Mods folder in your BG3 data directory.
Check the mod's page for any updates or compatibility notes after game patches, since it hasn't been updated since January 2024.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 739 endorsements and over 16k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Does exactly what it says: strips those ugly Half-Illithid visuals without touching gameplay.
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop it in and forget it.
👎 Cons
- No install instructions provided by the author—you'll need to know how to mod Baldur's Gate 3 already.
- Last updated in January 2024—might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before using.
- Only affects visuals; if you wanted to remove the mechanical drawbacks of ceremorphosis, this isn't for you.
