How to Hide Clothes in Baldur's Gate 3

Learn how to hide your clothes and helmets in Baldur's Gate 3! Manage your character's appearance for cutscenes and customize your look without sacrificing stats.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Baldur's Gate 3 and want to make sure your character looks *just right*, especially for those important cutscenes, but you're stuck with clunky armor? Or maybe you just hate that helmet? Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward to manage your character's look. You can't exactly transmog your gear like in some other games, but you *can* choose to show off your camp attire while keeping your combat armor's stats. Let's get you sorted.

How to Show Camp Attire (and Keep Your Stats)

First off, open up your inventory. You'll see a couple of small icons right above the t-shirt icon. One of these lets you toggle between showing your actual equipped armor and your 'Camp Attire.' Pick 'Camp Attire,' and boom – you'll look like you do when you're chilling at camp, but you'll still have all the protection of your best combat gear. It’s a great way to keep your character looking stylish without compromising on defense.

Hiding Your Helmet

Now, about those helmets. Some of them are... well, let's just say they're not winning any fashion awards. If you want to ditch a helmet, especially for a dialogue scene, it's super easy. Look on the left side of your character's portrait in the inventory screen, just above the helmet slot. You'll find a little icon there. Click it, and you'll get a few options: 'Show Helmet,' 'Hide During Dialogues,' or 'Hide Helmet' completely. You can use these same options for your companions too, just by accessing their inventory.

A Quick Note on Nudity

Just a heads-up, especially if you're streaming or recording: if you have the nudity option enabled in the game and you remove your character's camp clothing, they will literally be completely naked. So, be mindful of that!

Turning Nudity On or Off

If you'd rather not see your characters completely unclothed, or if you want to disable nudity in cutscenes, you can adjust these settings. Head over to the Options menu, then go to the Gameplay tab. Look for 'User Options' and you'll find checkboxes for 'Show Genitals' and 'Show Cinematic Nudity.' Just uncheck them to turn those features off.

So there you have it! A couple of simple tricks to keep your character looking their best in Baldur's Gate 3, whether you're exploring dungeons or just chatting with your companions.
