🎯 Tips & Tricks
Place the mod folder in your 'The Witcher 3/mods' directory — if it doesn't exist, create it.
Check if you have other Geralt retextures installed; they may conflict, so use a mod manager to manage load order.
Since the mod is old, test it after a fresh install to ensure it works with your current game version.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 634 endorsements and over 15k downloads — clearly fills a niche.
- Lore-friendly approach for book purists who want the white-haired, pale Geralt.
- Works with both expansions and even the shaving scene — attention to detail.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods.
- No install instructions provided by the author, so you'll need to figure out the folder structure yourself.
- Purely cosmetic — if you're looking for gameplay changes, this isn't it.
