📋 About This Mod
I've been working on this project since it has been possible to export meshes out of Dragon Age the Veilguard.
At first, I only wanted to change the hairstyles I didn't like, fix the endless receding hairlines, give more feminine options to female characters and more masculine option to the male ones. Eventually, I ended up replacing everything, seeing how much better it made the crowds looked.
This mod contains almost 50 meshes directly imported from DAV, edited to fit DAI models and UV maps, and rigged to the DAI skeletons.
To install this, you need Frosty Mod Manager 1. 0. 6. 3. Version 1. 0. 7. 0 is not meant for DAI. I suggest installing the texture mod below the main mod if you wish to use it (I replaced the scalps to avoid receding hairlines on hair that no longer have them) and both mods above DLC Hair Mesh Visibility Fix by Dmitrias if you own any DLC that might require the fix.
You also need to be playing in high graphics settings as I have only replaced LODs 0 and 1. I tried replacing them all but the game started glitching so I had to compromise.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh look for character creation—if you're tired of the vanilla styles, this brings the newer game's hair into DAI.
- Simple concept, no bloat: it does exactly what it says, replacing all hairstyles.
- Decent download count (1,457) for a niche cosmetic mod, so it's been tried by a fair number of players.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 35 endorsements—small community footprint, so you're on your own if issues pop up.
- Last updated May 2025—if the game has patched since, it might not work with the latest version.
For Dragon Age: Inquisition players who want a visual refresh in character creation, especially those who liked the hair styles in The Veilguard. Skip if you're after gameplay changes or if you're happy with the original hairstyles.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Frosty Mod Manager to install this—it's the standard for DAI mods and will handle file placement automatically.
- Make sure you launch the game through the mod manager, otherwise the mod won't load.
- If you're using other character creation mods, check load order—this one replaces all hairstyles, so it might conflict with mods that add new ones.
