UPDATE - 18 March 2021 - Frosty version of the eyebrow mod available for elf, humans and dwarves only but qunari coming soon. This port was done by Grotesgi who is graciously allowing me to share it here for anyone having DLC issues and who thinks this might help. The dark shaved version had to be recreated from the light shaved version by altering the opacity so it might not 100% match but there was no choice as the original files are long gone (massive data loss years ago) and the files from this version couldn't be extracted from the daimod.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to try and endorse this mod. It means a lot
I'm not so active on the DAI Nexus anymore so I may miss your comments. If you have a burning question however, feel free to PM and I'll get an e-mail to let me know.

Edit: I seem to be getting a lot of comments about this mod crashing the BE or asking if it works with Trespasser.
Yes, the face texture and maybe the qunari brows crash the BE. Nothing I can do about it and it is a known issue. Please read the description.
As for Trespasser, I didn't experience any crashes when I played but the results of other testers seem inconsistent so all I can say is try it and find out.
I'm sorry that this mod isn't perfect but it's a limitation with modding this particular game at the moment.
Hi! I just wanted to say thank you very much for your effort with this mod! I know it's pretty dated at this point and I'm not sure if you'll even read this, but I just wanted to give my appreciation. I saw in an earlier comment you felt sort of underappreciated with the way everyone responded on here. There are a tonne of 'thank yous' in the user image responses too if you hadn't gotten chance to see them. Thank you again and happy ( slightly late) new year!
Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it. Almost everyone who comments only has nice things to say. I do get a little frustrated when people don't read the mod description and then blame me for it not working when it's something I can't do anything about. Sometimes I just like to have a sulk because I'm having a day when I think everything I create is crap.
As for the image section, I love it and when I'm having a bad day, I look through all the characters people have created using my mods across three games and it makes me feel so much better. I look at every single one anyone uploads. I haven't really said this before, but if you want to support me but you can't afford to donate, then you can support my mental health by uploading pics to the gallery
"Dark" and "light" should be renamed "semi transparent" and "opaque". A decade ago, when we didn't have access to anything but the default eyebrow colours, I couldn't get a light desaturated brown that went well with blonde hair so I made a "light" version so I could achieve that. If you want a dark colour, you still have to choose it in CC.
Not sure if it's just me, but maybe worth mentioning: the save file states it was made with a different version of the game when I tried to load it, and won't load.
I do, of course, own a legit copy of the game (several, across multiple platforms). In this instance, I'm running the game through Steam.
If it's an issue with the game version and the file and not an issue with my game specifically, I understand it's unlikely you still have the file to resave and reupload but there wouldn't be much point in keeping the current file available either.

Thanks for the awesome brows, by the way, especially providing for my poor, neglected oxquisitor.
I mean it was made with a different version of the game but older saves should work. Saying that, the game was obviously modded when I made the save and modding worked differently back then, it messed with version numbers if I remember rightly. I'm sorry if the save isn't working in your game but I wouldn't know how to fix it it. I probably can't even get it to work myself. I haven't even tested it since made it a hundred years ago.
No need to fix, and didn't mean to imply it needed fixing - only that the file might not work for anyone using an up-to-date copy of the game. Now that I've thought about it, that's not going to be everyone for a variety of reasons.
Hey! I was literally just watching a mod tutorial video that mentions this issue and just saw your comment, which is a weird coincidence. This should hopefully help! At timestamp 8:50 here: https://youtu.be/rzqlRtSIsC8?si=ENUYozfTQMfS-eS-&t=530
Hi! I'm using your Katherine Face Texture and Eyebrows 4 Women. They're so beautiful!
But I'm having a problem. The Katherine Face Texture ends up all blotchy after a few shadow shifts (walking through sunlight, then shade, then sunlight, etc). Particularly in the Hinterlands. I'm using the Frosty versions with Frosty Mod Manager.
The only mods I have loaded that affect character faces are yours and some fixes to try and correct the issue.
I know this is an old game and an old mod, which you're probably not working on any more, but if you happen to see this, I'd appreciate any advice. Your texture and eyebrows are *so* much nicer than the base game.
So, interestingly, I think this is a problem with elf faces. Haven't tried a dwarf with the face texture, but I have currently two parallel saves, one on a human and one on an elf. The human one loads quickly and runs smoothly and I never get these issues. The elf one takes centuries to load, particularly if I have to travel between locations and even fast traveling within the same map (like, between the ground and first level in Val Royeux) takes an agonizing amount of time.
I think the face texture doesn't jive well with elf faces :/
BUT! And this is a big but! Spending time on my save on my human, loading times have generally improved to normal for a SATA SSD and the textures didn't glitch. Loading then over to my elf character, the loading times were still very good, whereas starting the game and loading directly into my elf character I've noticed that the loading times are abysmal and I get the texture fuckups. I don't know if that's actually relevant at all, but I figured it would be important to mention that as well.
Sadly, I do generally hold to what I said, that I don't think this texture is meant to run as well with elf faces. Looking at the male version, the Ciaran texture, from the same modder, there are a few comments of some strange behavior on elf characters, but I don't know if that's indicative at all.
Sadly, because of the loading issues alone, I'll have to look for a different face texture mod for my elf. Again, seems to be fine, and indeed more than fine for human characters
Also, one more thing, check your graphics settings. Some mods for hairs have descriptions that say they require ultra settings for hair to be visible. There could be something similar going on where perhaps textures require ultra or fade touched to be working well? Just spitballing. There are a lot of strange mod-induced behaviors about this game that just never got a proper look into.
Adding a second post because I lost control of my life today it seems :D
I was looking for replacements and stumbled on the Nimue Complexion mod here.
In the description it states:
"I've made 3 versions:
- Nimue Frosty - slot 3. For Frosty. Replaces slot 3 in CC. This version works for HF (and possibly DF). Will work in Trespasser. * This will NOT work for EF. If your Inquisitor is an Elf, it'll crash in the Hinterlands (infinite loading), and glitch in the Storm Coast and Val Royeaux. It'll work perfectly fine for HF. This seems to be a problem with Frosty itself. I haven't found a fix for this. *
- Nimue Frosty - slot 1. For Frosty. Replaces slot 1 in CC. This one will work for EF. And also for HF, and DF. Will work in Trespasser.
- Nimue daimod. For DAI Mod Manager. Replaces slot 3. Works for HF, EF, and DF. Won't work in Trespasser, but I've included a Trespasser version in the folder."
Assuming what the modder says is true and still valid, and I really don't see why it wouldn't be, there's a very good chance that the problem isn't the texture itself, but that it replaces into slot 3. And yes, I just double checked in the creator, the Katherine face texture is a slot 3 texture in Complexion. That very likely is the culprit for my loading issues as well as our issues with the weird face textures.
Edit: Seeeeeeeeems like Frosty Mod Manager 1.0.6.2 "fixed issues with DAI texture edits." Are you running that version or an earlier one?
I had the same issue. Got to the Hinterlands, and my face went all crazy. I appreciate you posting this so I at least knew where to look for a solution. I tried some of the Frosty texture fixes available, but none of them worked. I finally solved the problem just by going back to the original daimod and loading it with Mod manager. I was already using a combination of daimods and frosty mods, so it wasn't a huge hardship to rebuild the patch. The loading time still seems a little slow, but it looks like it solved the problem, more or less.
Hey, I know it's been a while and you may not see this. But, I've come across an issue. I have the qunari brows installed and I am playing a qunari. When I put the eyebrows on her in the black emporium, they are totally fine in the mirror. im aware that I may not be able to see them in the black emporium itself, so i left to check them out. they are indeed modded eyebrows, but no matter what style i choose theyre staying the same. its like if there 5 options, its stuck on option 1 no matter which I choose.
Hi! Any idea why the eyebrows don't show up at once? It takes them a bit of time to load after changing area. Very odd. Cheers and thanks for your hard work!
Hello, eyebrow models are very very beautiful, perfect! The face is immediately transformed and your beautiful work will never age and will always be needed! I wish you all the best in life!
Its weird, when i install the brows, it doesnt look like this on my female elf.
Im trying to either get the 02 or 4 shaved. Using dark with Frosty. I tried changing the color and switching complexions but i can't get any with the "v" or the cuts

How do i make them actually dark?
I do, of course, own a legit copy of the game (several, across multiple platforms). In this instance, I'm running the game through Steam.
