📋 About This Mod
This is the updated version of the optional file of the mod "Hairworks on everything but Geralt" made by vikart.
http://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/165/?I did not make this update, it was removed for reasons I don't know and I recovered the file thanks to Cody0707. I tested it and it works perfectly (while the outdated version still had some strands of hairworks hair on Geralt). Since no one bothered to upload it and since it's a really essential mod for those who hate haiworks hair, I thought to upload it myself. Tested on 1. 12. 1

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gets you that fancy beard detail without tanking your FPS like full Hairworks does.
- 8,965 downloads show it's been tried by a decent chunk of the community.
- Zero endorsements? Doesn't matter—if you want beards only, this is the only way.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—might not play nice with newer game patches or DLC.
- No endorsements means it's unproven in the long run; you're the guinea pig.
- Compatibility risk: could conflict with other visual overhauls that touch hair/beard meshes.
If you're a Witcher 3 player who loves the look of Hairworks beards but can't afford the FPS hit of full Hairworks, this is for you. Also for screenshot enthusiasts who want that extra beard detail without sacrificing performance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Hairworks enabled in your game settings, otherwise this mod won't have anything to work with.
- If you're using other visual mods, install this one last to avoid overwriting beard-related files.
- Test in a cutscene or near a mirror to see the beard effect clearly—it's subtle in gameplay.
