📋 About This Mod

Quick little re-texture for Geralt... Recolours hair, beard, and face (eyes are left un-touched, so you can use any eye mod you choose.)  Note: nVidia Hairworks must be enabled!

==========================

  • []BadWolf v. 1. 25 - an early release of the upcoming "Super Beard" version ('cause people are askin'.) ;D  Makes Geralt's black beard now appear super-dense.  There are still a few glitches in BaW that have to be found and fixed (white hair in Master Cat hood and the new Paige hairstyle among them.)

    []BadWolf v. 1. 2 - adds support for Hearts of Stone expansion, works with default beards (clean-shaven/growing, trimmed-short) and all hairstyles.  DLC #2 beards do not work correctly as there seems to be a bug in the updated DLC#2 that was released alongside HoS (even if you have HairWorks enabled, barbers seem to update your character with a non HairWorks beards when you ask for mutton-chops, goatees, and soul-patches.  These do not re-shade and remain white.)  Also added face textures for Geralt when he has the Blue Stripes tattoo.

  • BadWolf v. 1. 1 - all the hair from free DLC #2 is recoloured now too... (Obviously, you need the 2nd free DLC installed for v. 1. 1 to work.) ;)  The mohawk and elven rebel ones are a little too shiny... not sure what's causing that.

    MANUAL INSTALLATION :

    ==========================

    To install manually, extract the modBadWolf folder inside the archive to your \Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\mods\ folder.  To uninstall, delete the modBadWolf folder.
