📋 About This Mod
ALL CREDITS GO TO $ereg@, the original creators of the same 1. 32 mod.
If the author updates the mod, I will gladly put down the mod.
What's the purpose?
This is the updated Next Gen 4. 04 of the main file "BeardsColorBlend". Where all beard and hair have the same colour and density.
All other main files are already Next Gen Compatible, so if you want a replaced mutton chop or longer, thicker beard, you may safely use those main files from the original mod page.
Testing the mod on DX12 with Ray Tracing and Hairworks, during clear or rain, and so far no issue (I hope).
Beards and hair are properly getting wet without making them too grey or too dark.
4. 04 Next-Gen Compatible!
Installation
For newcomers/beginners: I invite you to read The Tome of Witcher 3 Modding
0 DON'T USE VORTEX!!
1. Use Witcher 3 Mod Manager, or extract the files in your "Mods" folder of the game's directory, Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY Edition.
2. Launch Script Merger. If there is any conflict, put the mod lower priority or remove it.
How to uninstall?
Delete the folder "modBeardsColourBlend".
Compatibility and Conflict
Reminder: Next-Gen Compatible!
This is a Redfur mod that affects the following files:
- characters\models\geralt\coif\model\geralt_beard01.redfur
- characters\models\geralt\coif\model\geralt_beard02.redfur
- characters\models\geralt\coif\model\geralt_beard03.redfur
- dlc\dlc2\data\characters\models\geralt\coif\model\geralt_beard04.redfur
- dlc\dlc2\data\characters\models\geralt\coif\model\geralt_beard05.redfur
- dlc\dlc2\data\characters\models\geralt\coif\model\geralt_beard06.redfur
Obviously, it will conflict with some "hair and beard" mod. In that case, I suggest you remove the mod or put it in lower priority.
If you wish to use it on the Classic 1. 32, install the original mod.
Recommended Mod
Below is the list of mods I recommend with mine:
- New Hairstyles and Beards For Geralt (DLC2 Improved). Most Recommended. Add various new coiffures and beards.
- 3D Eyebrows for Geralt. Add white eyebrows for Geralt.
- Insane Geralt Eyes. A lore-friendly eye for Geralt.
- The Butcher of Blaviken Lore-Friendly Geralt. A lore-friendly face for Geralt.

✅ Pros

For players who noticed their character's beard color or thickness doesn't match their hair after the Next Gen update. If you're a perfectionist about character appearance, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use beards or if you're fine with the mismatch.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using other beard or hair mods, install this one last to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- Check the mod's file structure—if it's a simple replacement, just drop it into your mods folder.
- Since it's a bug fix, it should work with most setups, but always back up your save before installing any mod.
