📋 About This Mod
What this mod does:
Any makeup/hair/tattoo changes you have made to Shadowheart will persist throughout her Act 3 romance scene :)
In vanilla, Shadowheart is set to revert to a specific visual template during her Act 3 romance cutscene. If you've changed her appearance with something like Appearance Edits Enhanced, this unfortunately causes her to revert back to her default appearance. In this mod, I have disabled that and she will now keep her custom appearance :)
