Changelogs
Version FinalVersion
Eyebrow enhancement, now they should be consistent in all lighting conditions.
improved the eye area and solved the problem of black edges that gave the "makeup effect"
improved face maps, now the skin will be slightly brighter .. this reduces the "plastic" effect of the skin in some light conditions.
each version will have the changes listed above, plus a series of custom improvements to improve each single version in a different way (for example the "Vanilla fixed" version will have totally different eyebrow improvements for obvious reasons).

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.
Feedbacks of players rikijao Thank you for this mod and the newest update! Best striga scar I've seen yet BWGames I must say that this is definetly one of the best texture mod for geralt, just great! TheWitcher808 Excellent mod truly outstanding! Endorsed wonderful work! LukeSparow Mod's looking really great! Better and better all the time. Especially love what you did with the eyebrows Eodart My new favorite Geralt retexture! gabsuvius So played with it a while than I removed it cos I didnt notice any big difference, when I loaded again the vanilla something wos missing... and I just realised how big impact this mod had on the visuals even if I didnt pay to much attention to geralt face before, I put back the mod and now I really see how big difference tiny details make for me, the dialogues dont feel boring anymore. This mod makes the game unplayable for me if I remove it, thats how awesome this mod is. Mostly came back to endorse ur mods. RedPlatinum This mod is phenomenal. Seriously, one of the best retextures I've seen for any game. gabsuvius So played with it "a while" than I... now joke aside without quoting myself from your mod description, I must honestly say that I am using you'r mod since you'r first version I think, and here we are on final version, every time I am reinstalling witcher 3 this mod is always first to download, you made the closest book Geralt, and I want to thank you once again for that. Without this mod I would have skipped cutscenes and dialogues, and this says a lot, because I finished this game dozens of times and I think I pushed over 800 hours on it lol
