New Hairstyles and Beards for Geralt (DLC2 Improved)

Steam doesn't support their creators, so please consider also downloading on Nexus mods (it's free): https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/4400?tab=files&file_id=62150

This mod adds 19 hairstyles and 12 beards to your game. This is not a replacer, but truly adds new personalisation options.

Foreword:

If there are hairstyles or beards you like and want them to be added to this mod, tell me. But firstly, I'll have to find them interesting in the first place so no simple recolors, and secondly, of course I'll ask the original author for his permission.

Consider endorsing the work of the authors who agreed to share their work with me, to show them the support they deserve.


Content of the mod:

Adds new hairstyles for Geralt to the game:

- Long and loose, passing behind the ears. (not sure about this one as I don't know the hairstyling vocabulary in english lol)
- Long, with a headband.
- Long and loose, passing behind the ears. (alternate) (alternate = without the strands of hair on his forehead)
- Long, with a headband. (alternate)
- A pony tail.(*) (By CraniumJ)
- Olgierd's hairstyle. (By Roksa) (Should look better with a bald retexture of Geralt head)
- Witold's hairstyle. (Didn't use Roksa's file for this one, but she still deserves the credit for the idea) (Should look better with a bald retexture of Geralt head) (Funny thing about this hairstyle : CDPR actually made one themselves, but it has no physics and is not available in vanilla game. Roksa used this one, I didn't as I wanted physics)
- A pony tail. (long)(*) (Crown by CraniumJ)
- Shaved except for a pony tail. (long)(*) (Geralt's bones are not supposed to handle such long hairstrands so it can look goofy sometimes)
- A Rivian pony tail. (Don't expect a simple import from Witcher 2, this is my interpretation. Again, physics can look goofy as the game isn't supposed to handle such a pony tail.)
- Shaved.
- Logan's hairstyle. (By HellSpawnKD637)
- Zoltan's hairstyle. (By Feregorn) (Should look better with a bald retexture of Geralt head)
- Slicked back long hair. (By Feregorn)
- Shaved on the sides, short on top, and a pony tail. (long)(*)
- Viking braids. (By FidoX) (Should look better with a bald retexture of Geralt head)
- Long, elven style. (Witcher 1 inspired hairstyle. First, don't expect a copy of the ingame hairstyle, it looks more like the opening cinematic hairstyle because I used this as a reference. Second, this is just an interpretation, remember.)
- Long, elven style, with a headband.
- Olgierd's hairstyle. (alternative) (a version that matches with Geralt's hairline. I made my own as Hellspawn never answered my request. And it was literally a 5 minutes edit for the mesh part, so wasn't seeing a reason for not doing it myself).

I tried to get the headband removed during naked cutscenes etc but I could not as the game doesn't truly desequip the armor for these cutscenes, it just hides it...
However, I decided to remove it when Geralt is supposed to be elegant, or equipped with a shirt or shirtless.

Of course each hairstyle is coming with its own tucked and naked versions (just the one I make myself).

You can find them at all hairdressers except the drunken one in novigrad. Blood and Wine hairdressers excluded.
Just scroll your way down in the hairstyle choice lines at your hairdresser.

Adds new beards for Geralt to the game:

- Donar an Hindar beard.
- Logan's beard.(*) (By HellSpawnKD637)
- Mousesack's beard. (Looks like Santa)
- Folan's beard.
- Bran's beard.
- A mustache.(*)
- A classic goatee.(*)
- Udalryk's goatee.
- Olgierd's beard.
- Sideburns.(*)
- A chin curtain.(*)
- Olgierd's mustache.

New beards are made through custom heads, the same way original dlc2 beards are made. So it should be compatible with tattoo and mark from HoS but not if you enable them via console. Haven't really tested it for the moment. Tell me if this is the case.

Only available at the rich hairdresser from Novigrad for the moment. Editing the .w2scene for a new custom head is waaaay longer than for new hairstyles. So, for the moment, I'm not gonna add them to other hairdressers, it takes too much time.

(*) : hairstyles and beards marked with this have a hairworks version.
