📋 About This Mod
This mod has the purpose to modify some aspects (texture) of Geralt.
Reading the books I always imagined that Geralt with a fierce expression ... is a ruthless killer monster ... not Santa Claus. These are subtle changes that do not alter the expression of Geralt.

TBOB Final Version is AVAILABLE NOW
Greetings Witchers,
The new version of TBOB is live. .. I remember when I released this mod more than three years ago .... since then incredible steps have been taken, a lot of hours spent to improve Geralt's appearance, but looking at this new version I have to say that it was worth.
With this new version The Butcher of Blaviken mod has reached its peak, so with the good news of the new version I add a "bad news".
The "bad news" is: The current result that the mod has reached satisfies me in full, a clear improvement over the vanilla version, but still faithful to the CDPR version, something that many Geralt mods do not (they alter the appearance too much , distorting it .. Geralt too young or too old .. TBOB keeps the age of Geralt CDPR-Friendly XD) .. for this reason I interrupt here the development of TBOBmod ... obviously I will continue to update all the versions to Final Version .. I ask you just a little patience. Obviously this interruption can be revoked if bugs or some relevant improvement are found.
Enjoy Final Version :)

rikijao Thank you for thi
A lore-friendly retexture for Geralt that gives him a more threatening expression, pale skin, and the best Striga scar on Nexus Mods. With nearly 5,000 endorsements and 200k downloads, it's a popular cosmetic choice for Witcher 3 players seeking a grittier look.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 4,799 endorsements and nearly 200k downloads—clearly a go-to for many players.
- The Striga scar is praised as the best on Nexus, adding authenticity to Geralt's look.
- Lore-friendly design fits the game's tone without breaking immersion.
⚠️ Cons
- Only a retexture—no new models or gameplay changes, so if you want more than a face lift, this isn't it.
- Last updated in December 2023, so it may not be compatible with future game patches or mods.
For Witcher 3 players who want a more menacing and lore-accurate Geralt without overhauling the whole game. If you're a fan of cosmetic tweaks that keep the original feel, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a full visual overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod files in your 'Mods' folder in the Witcher 3 directory, or use a mod manager like Vortex for easier handling.
- If you use other Geralt retextures, make sure this one loads last to avoid conflicts—check your mod order.
- Back up your original game files before replacing anything, just in case you want to revert.
