📋 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.

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.
