Sprite/Paperdoll Request

One of my only gripes with EE since release has been the sprites and paperdolls used in game. For instance, Imoen uses the base human female thief assets in BG2 instead of her unique sprite and paperdoll, which it would have been nice to see in BG1. I also personally prefer the BG2 sprites and paperdolls to the EE versions in most cases, as well as the old basic BG2 helmet vs. the EE version which has horns like the BG1 basic helmet.

I've read that sprites are fairly ingrained into the game's code, hence why there are no mods to bring back BG2 sprites. Is there any way that players could pick their preferred sprites/paperdolls in a future update? An external setup program, alternate download, or even guidance on how to make these changes if they are at all possible would all be great.

Failing that, I'd love to see Imoen's unique sprite and paperdoll return, either as the default in BG2 or both games, or at least as an option we can select through EE keeper or debug commands. The current model is hardly distinguishable from various thieves and shopkeepers, and feels really out of place as a major character of BG2.
