📋 About This Mod
Description
Wonder what a Younger Ardyn would look like? While this mod certainly doesn't take him back to his prince days, it does knock some years off of the impatient traveler.
This mod only alters Ardyn's Normal Appearance, I may alter his alternate textures if people want it.
I may be able to do even more with this mod in time when I am able to edit occlusion maps and the model itself, who knows I may even alter his hairstyle as an optional file in the future when the tools become available!

⚠️ Cons
