📋 About This Mod

Summary

If you to have HairWorks turned ON in game, this mod will disable HairWorks on Geralt's hair. HairWorks will remain enabled for Geralt's beard as well as everything else in the game that supports HairWorks.

This mod essentially combines the "hair only" variant of Crassius's Hairworks on everything but Geralt and Metalfreeza's update that includes DLC hairstyles, while also making the latter into a proper mod instead of requiring that you replace base game files.

Instructions

For this mod to work, you must set HairWorks to ON in game. Preset doesn't matter.
