📋 About This Mod
I love Harding, but the freckles were a bit cartoonish. I've made a light and darker freckle option. I was hoping to give her a look a bit more similar to her Inquisition face texture.
Added an alternative version on 16/1/25 - darker blush, lips, and a couple of moles added.
Install with Frosty Mod Manager. If you need a tutorial on how to use Frosty Mod Manager, please see this wonderful guide by PinkyDude.
Modding Veilguard is still new - use mods at your own risk.
I'm not even half way through the game, so please let me know if there are any issues.
I've included regular and injured/healing/scarred face textures. In my game, Harding was injured at the start of the game so she has the scarred complexion. If Neve was injured instead at the start of your game, Harding won’t have the forehead scar.
I plan to do the other companions too. I am not currently taking requests or suggestions and don’t have any plans for alternate versions so I’d really appreciate not being contacted with this 🥲. I make mods for myself and share them - if my mods aren’t to your liking, I’m sure there will be plenty of awesome retextures coming out soon - or you could even give Frosty Editor a go yourself! :)
Happy modding <3
