✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 721 endorsements and 40k downloads—clearly a lot of players dig it.
- Lightweight and focused: just a face retexture, so it won't mess with your game balance.
- Updated recently (January 2024), so it's likely compatible with current game patches.
⚠️ Cons
- No install instructions or compatibility notes from the author—you're on your own for setup.
- Only affects Shani's face, so if you wanted more, this won't deliver.
- Requires manual installation, which might be a hurdle for modding newbies.
For Witcher 3 players who want Shani to look better without overhauling the whole game. If you're a fan of the character and want a subtle visual upgrade, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or mods that affect multiple characters.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in your 'Mods' folder in the game directory, and if you use a mod manager, import it there.
- Check if you have other mods that alter Shani's appearance—they might conflict, so load order matters.
- If the face doesn't appear in-game, verify that the mod is enabled and that you've launched the game with mods enabled.
