📋 About This Mod
Ladies and gentlemen, the time is nigh to reveal the latest in Witcher 3 restyling technology! (Special thanks to Roksa, her amazing photostory Yennefer of Vengerberg was the inspiration for my mod)
- Were you bothered by the lack of attention from CDPR developers to Yennefer? While Triss (who lest we forget tried to steal her Geralt), was receiving extra developer love and along with her DLC dress also got a new hairstyle?
- Were you disappointed when contrary to what the VGX and E3 trailers showed you, Yennefer lost her lore-friendly curly hairstyle and you were left with a longer and straighter immersion-breaking hairstyle?
Well, it is time to remedy this grave injustice and present you a new mod that accomplishes both things and then some!!! Keep on reading, so we can avoid any unnecessary questions and complications!!! :P

Realistically Improved Yennefer VGX E3 Trailer TRVE DLC Appearance
This mod does the following:
1) Create for Yennefer a new custom-made lore-friendly raven-black curly hairstyle that has been upgraded in visual quality (4 times original size after tesselating/turbosmoothing 6 times)! To install unpack the archive into the "mods" folder of your Witcher 3 directory. The latest V4 is also compatible with Next-Gen and of course the torso fix for the lounging BaW scene is still included (also provided separately in the optional files). I also tried making the mod more compatible with other Yen-changing mods. However, if they purposefully go and change basic Yennefer entity files in such a way that causes incompatibilities, then you should ask their authors to make compatibility patches ;)
2) When Yennefer is in her default appearance she uses the lore-friendly VGX/E3 hairstyle, when you enable her DLC appearance she switches to the longer vanilla hairstyle. That means you can now alternate between 2 fully different appearances for Yennefer
! Note that the hoods are now not removed from the main Improved Yennefer file. If you want them removed, you can visit my other mod Triss Yennefer Ciri Syanna Hood Removal NEXT GEN.
I have also updated for Next-Gen Zinnnnnn's version of this mod which makes Yen's hair totally black! Download it now and have fun!!! Visit his Yen modpage for m

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,344 endorsements and nearly 200k downloads—clearly a go-to for Yennefer fans.
- Adds hairstyle variety that the official DLC lacked, making the alternate look feel more complete.
- Lore-friendly E3/VGX style keeps the character true to the source material.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2024—might not be compatible with future game patches or DLCs.
- Only affects Yennefer's appearance; no gameplay or other character changes.
- Requires the official Alternate Appearance DLC to work, so you need that installed first.
For The Witcher 3 players who want Yennefer to look more like her E3/VGX concept art without straying from lore. Perfect for those who already use the official alternate DLC but wish it included hairstyle changes. Skip if you're looking for gameplay tweaks—this is purely cosmetic.
