📋 About This Mod
My biggest complaint with the default beard in the game..... is the mustache. Because of this, I looked for some beautiful beard mods -- and ended up finding $ereg@'s "Hairworks beard Fix" -- initially got it for the fuller mustache, but ended up loving the fuller, high res beard. However, I missed the darker, mixed color vanilla beard; so I mixed the two and created an add-on mod to darken up his beautifully made mod for anyone like me.
-!!!- As stated earlier, this mod does NOT replace his mod; to use this you need to download and install his mod, then give this mod priority -!!!-
Versions 1 and 2 of this mod were made and tested in private; I am torn between Version 3 and 4 so I decided to upload both.
Version 3: Slightly whiter and fuller (in relation to V4)
Version 4: Darker and patchier, but more realistic (in relation to V3)
NEW Version 5: Darkest, but not as patchy (in relation to V4)
INSTALLATION:
- Download and install $ereg@'s "Growing Long Beard" mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/3149?tab=description
- Download and drop the "modFullerBeardFixV" to the "mods" folder in your Witcher 3 directory.
- Using Mod Merger or whatever tool you use, give "modFullerBeardFixV" priority.

In the screenshots I am using Phoenix Lighting Mod, Reshade.me (FXAA.fx, qUINT_mxao.fx, Colourfulness.fx -- all with tweaked settings), HQ Faces, Hairworks on everything but Geralt, Geralt hair LOD + Whiter Hair mod (Hair - Increase LOD distance shift), as well as a beard LOD mod.
This add-on mod for $ereg@'s Hairworks Beard Fix enhances Geralt's white beard with grey and black shading, making it look more realistic and less Santa-like. It's a small cosmetic tweak for players who want a more natural beard that matches Geralt's eyebrows. With 395 endorsements and 13,486 downloads, it's a well-received niche mod.

For Witcher 3 players who use Hairworks and want a more grounded, realistic beard for Geralt. If you're tired of the bright white Santa look and want something that matches his eyebrows, this is a quick fix. Skip if you're looking for new beard styles or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
