What would be required in order to customize character appearance more, either via entirely new soundsets and via customized graphics?

I tried to check also for the BG2 soundsets but I couldn't find any txt file in the lang folder of BG2 and the system appears to be a bit more complicated. any ideas?
Baldur's Gate 1
The following is a list of the WAV files for the custom sound sets. Replace each 'XXXXXXX' in the filenames with the name of the sound set (MAX 7 CHARACTERS). All the WAV files should be 22 khz, 16 bit mono sounds. Copy the WAV files to the Sounds directory located in the directory that Baldur's Gate was installed in, and then select this sound set either in character creation or in the "Customize" button off of the Character Record page. For multiplayer, merely send your custom sounds to all of the people you are playing with and have them copy them to the Sounds directory - if you have installed the sounds to your character inyour game, everyone will hear your sounds once they copy them into the correct directory.

Baldur's Gate 2
Thirty-seven sounds which are uttered upon certain actions or conditions can be recorded for each character. These .WAV files should be 22 kHz, 16-bit mono sounds. The format for each sound name is XXXXXXXa.wav where the Xs can be replaced by a name of up to 7 characters maximum such as Farrell or Skip. The final letter of each sound's name indicates which action/condition it represents as listed in the table below.
One of the Selected sounds is played upon clicking on a character while Rare Selected sounds are heard when the same character is selected multiple times. The Daytime, Nighttime, Forest, City and Dungeon sounds are all random utterances that are played when it is that time of day or you are in one of those areas.
The sound set can be selected either in character creation or from the Customize button on the Character Record page. You can have multiple sound sets and chose the one you want the character to use from a list. A play button is available so you can cycle through each sound set to hear what they are.
There are eight default sound sets for the main player character, four male and four female. If these still aren't quite right for your character, you can add your own custom sound sets too. There is no real size limit for the custom sounds and the game should play any reasonable sound without a performance hit (a 6 MB sound caused a 1-2 second delay).
