📋 About This Mod
I have posted this mod on my tumblr some time ago, but I guess it would be better to have it here anyway. Maybe some of you will find it usuful. :)
So here's my version of Solas' face texture. Changes are quite subtle to remain true to his character (I hope).
- different eyebrows
- slightly edited lips
- retouched skin
- darkened area around the eyes
UPDATE
Recently I posted on my blog updated version (2. 0) of this mod, so I decided to upload it here too. :)
New features:
- eyebrows were somewhat updated, meaning that I handpainted some of the hair.
- skin is slightly less retouched
- area around eyes is less dark but still it's darker than on the original texture.
- freckles! Light freckles were scattered mostly around his nose area and cheeks.
- high res version of this mod (2x bigger than the original) - optional
This is standalone mod, so no other mods are required and it works with Trespasser, meaning that it won't crash it (but apparently it WILL crash Descent DLC :/).
Thank you and happy dragonaging!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 923 endorsements and nearly 13k downloads—clearly a go-to for Solas fans.
- Lightweight and straightforward: just a texture swap, no complex dependencies.
- Still works fine for many players despite the 2018 update—classic mods never die.
⚠️ Cons
- No install instructions or compatibility notes from the author—you're on your own.
- Last updated in 2018, so it might clash with newer mods or game patches.

For Dragon Age: Inquisition players who love Solas and want a subtle visual upgrade without overhauling his whole look. Perfect for those who prefer minimalistic cosmetic tweaks. Skip if you're looking for major appearance changes or gameplay effects.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the texture file in the game's 'Override' folder (usually Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age Inquisition/Override) to ensure it loads correctly.
- If you use Frosty Mod Manager, you can import the texture there instead—just make sure it's the only Solas texture mod active to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for any user-reported compatibility issues with other Solas mods.
