📋 About This Mod
@ Foreword @
If you expect that mod makes Geralt's Non-HW & HW hair with beard are white, I'll must disappoint you.
My target is make vanilla colors are lighter, almost white, but aren't desaturated.
Therefore hair and beard (doesn't matter HW or Non-HW) can look strange.
Be careful when choosing the lighting mod! Test my mod in Vanilla lighting at first!
