📋 About This Mod

Basic Information
This mod represents my take on how Geralt should look as a witcher.
Largely influenced by his look in the "A Night to Remember" Launch Trailer, the mod tries to mimic that look as close as possible.
The skin textures make Geralt look sickly pale in accordance to various in-game comments about him.
The added details make his face look older, weathered, and grimy from all those long journeys and hunts.
The scars also look paler now, like completely healed, but more pronounced since they are mostly received from brutal combat against monsters.
The eye texture was made on top of actual viper iris and the edited normal map makes the eyes shine properly in-game.
This is not meant to be "better than vanilla" yet the mod stays true to the lore without any extreme changes.
Works with Hearts of Stone Expansion Pack.
Tested on game version 1. 31 GOG GOTY.
Installation
Download the archive and extract into The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\mods folder.
Uninstallation

Incompatibilities

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, just drop the files into the 'mods' folder in your Witcher 3 directory – no script merging needed.
- Make sure to back up your original textures if you want to revert, but it's not required.
- Check if the mod requires any DLC or patch – the description doesn't mention it, but it's worth verifying.
