📋 About This Mod

- Next-Gen Compatible -

I made this initially upon request by minicrom on the CDPR forums. It was originally posted about a year ago and I stumbled upon it while reading on Witcher 3 modding. And because apparently there are more than one that are interested in this, I decided to share it also here on nexus. I have received the kind permission of

Holgar

, so kudos must go to him! Check out his great work here Holgar96

So what do you get with this little mod? Actually 3 things!!!

1) The titled replacement of either the Mohawk (was a request) or the Elven Rebel DLC Hairstyles with the (as seen in "The Trail" Witcher 3 trailer) Cinematic Hair initially made by Holgar96.

2) Whiter and greyer versions (similar in color to the grey hairs mod by paulscotttt which only covers vanilla hairstyles and was a friendly request) so it looks closer to W1 Geralt and "The Trail" trailer Geralt. Now there is also a mod replacement for Vanilla Hairstyle 3 (aka the Long and Loose). Oxymoron, I know xD

3) Hairworked beard for this Cinematic Hairstyle when you enable HWs on Geralt or Everything (because this hairstyle does NOT have HW-hair version) !

4) A cyberpunkier hairstyle that replaces DLC hairstyle 1 in vanilla color

5) A BRAND new unique geralt short-loose hair style replacing DLC Hair 3 (comes in only 1 color variant and is still WIP but works quite well anyway)

Notice

------------

1) Installation is simple, choose ONE of the main files (some are more white, some are less white, some are grey, one is Cyberpunky), place it in mod folder and make sure that it loads higher than any other Geralt mods you may have. I have already named them accordingly and they should be compatible with most Geralt mods out there.

2) When enanbling HW, besides getting the HW-beard with a non-HW hairstyle, you also get a small HW strand of hair.

3) Now you can choose one of the optional addons - depending on which hair replacement mod you use - to eliminate even that last strand of free flowing HW hair from your Geralt forehead ! = Hair color doesn't matter, you only have to choose the specific addon for the hair replacement variant you want to use !!! Added in the miscellaneous section 2 extra files, 1 alternate grey replacement for DLC Hair3 that includes a
