📋 About This Mod
Despite his 9 year long coma, age hasn't slowed Snake down one bit.
With many hairstyles and beards to choose, customize Snake's head how you please.

HAIRSTYLES
There are two hairstyles to choose from.
The Classic Mullet, slightly edited to show added age from Ground Zeroes.
Or, Venom's ponytail, with an edited hair length to stay consistent with Snake's other appearances.
For the best of both worlds I recommend the optional joint file inspired by TMWSTW.
BEARDS
For a beard similar to vanilla, go with the default option.
Or, the long beard option can offer a nice switch up from the normal BB look.
And just in case you prefer his beards from the previous games, you can always use the legacy option.
Each head variant comes with bandana dynamics and a new wireless earpiece.
(Thank you to Evan for Bandana Dynamics)
HEAD STAGES
If your demon points rise too high, Snake's head will change. The way Snake changes differs from each head file.
It takes 20,000 demon points to reach a new head stage for the first time.
I have more information on this in a txt file inside the head folder.
In the default head option, the second head stage features a denser/more rugged beard.
In the longer beard option, the second head is less trimmed and grittier, the beard is slightly longer.
The legacy option's first stage is a Peace Walker inspired beard and the second is an MGS4 style beard.
Check the images tab for a better look at each head.
(Thank you to Hysperionism for the head stages idea.)
The customizability does not end at his head, now you can toggle the undersuit
I have also edited many of TMWSTW's body models for added muscle mass and gear.
(This could never have been done without Your401kPlan's and Caplag's permission.)
FATIGUES
The Normal/Scarf Fatigues feature more muscle mass, a pistol mag pouch, and a slimmer waist.
The Naked Fatigues carry more gear and show off Snake's new enhanced physique alongside his PW 'S' scar.
At any point you can toggle through bare arms, undersuit, scarf mask, or goggles with [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/metalgearsolidvtpp/m
Big Boss Reawakened is a complete overhaul of the earlier Big Boss 1984 mod, transforming it from a simple head replacement into a full model and texture enhancement. It integrates assets from Bandana Dynamics, The Man Who Sold The World, and Snake Scarf Zeta, offering a more comprehensive visual upgrade for fans of the character.
