This mod replaces Eskel’s regular hairstyle with a higher-polygon version that includes a sculpted ponytail, improving visual detail in close-up shots and portraits. Installation is straightforward: download the main file, extract it to The Witcher 3/mods, and give this mod priority over any other mods that alter Eskel to avoid conflicts.
Compatibility: the hairstyle is compatible with face mesh and texture mods (including eye mods) and works with most outfit mods, though some clipping may occur at the nape with certain collars. The mod edits the vanilla file characters\models\secondary_npc\eskel\h_01_ma__eskel.w2ent.
Known issues include occasional clipping with high collars on Eskel’s regular outfit depending on pose, and minor clipping on the ponytail itself. The screenshots were produced using the Colorful Witcher Eyes HQ eye textures.
Usage: you are free to use the mod, but do not reupload unchanged files; if a redistributed or derivative work requires this mod, include credit to the creator and do not distribute the original files unmodified.
