📋 About This Mod
I wanted to take a break from my ongoing Yen project, and work on something less tiresome and frustrating -- a small mod to test my skills and have fun. Which resulted in this.
It's a small rework of existing Triss' assets that make her look similar to what we saw in the Witcher 2 and early development of the Witcher 3. My main problem with vanilla Triss is that her appearance kinda came out of nowhere, and in my previous mod I tried to bring her closer to her book self -- while in this one I do the same, but with her previous games appearance.
Frankly, it's a middle ground between TW3, TW2 and Sword of Destiny trailer looks.
Mod includes:
> slightly updated head mesh, with more defined jaw, lips and nose shape
> new diffuse and ambient textures, and some tweaks to the normal maps; all variations (tortured, blooded) included;
> new eyelashes with heavy mascara on (unique to Triss)
> new eyes texture, closer to TW2, also unique to her (not shared with say Margarita)
> edited vanilla hairstyles' colors -- now dark red with warm orange highlights, also similar to TW2
Mod is offered as is, and no updates are planned. I may do something for this mod, I may not, no promises. Most requests about altering the setup or compatibility are about to be ignored. Sadly, I can only fully support one mod at a time.
If you want an alteration, I suggest you to make it yourself. You can always reach me if you need help with how to do that though.
Problems for now:
- couldn't merge the two parts of a mod correctly, so it's two parted lul; will try to fix
- slight color mismatch between head and body, same as with vanilla diffuses; not gonna fix that
- some hair clipping here and there
- roughly looking texture details; whatever.
- uncompressed diffuses; may cause longer loading or be blurred if you don't have enough VRAM;
- no LODs included,
use LipMovement and HiRes Shadows for 1. 32 to avoid face melting

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 425 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
- Brings back the classic Triss look from earlier games and trailers.
- Works with both 1.32 and NextGen versions, so it's future-proof.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may not be tested with the latest NextGen patches.
- No screenshots or detailed description provided, so you can't preview the look before installing.
- Only affects Triss's appearance; if you want more character overhauls, you'll need other mods.
For Witcher 3 players who prefer Triss's earlier, more natural look from The Witcher 2 and E3 trailers. If you're a fan of the original game's aesthetic and want a subtle change, this is for you. Skip if you're happy with the default Triss or want more extensive character overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the NextGen version, make sure to download the correct file variant if available, as mods may need to be updated for the new patch.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or The Witcher 3 Mod Manager to easily install and uninstall the mod without messing up your game files.
- Check the mod's file structure after installation to ensure it's placed in the 'mods' folder correctly; if not, manually move it there.
