--This mod will swap out the pixie hairstyle (hairstyle 7) for Dorian's hairstyle--
I actually chose to try this because the young Solas hairstyle would crash the game when combined with other swaps... and I liked that Dorian's hair was a little shorter. I was pleasantly surprised that it also came with his groovy facial hair, only it had some downsides...The hairstyle itself works beautifully, but the facial hair is static, and shaped to Dorian's face, so some clipping occurs, especially with the mustache. It takes some fancy slider work to get it looking right on Rook, but I thought it looked great when finished.
Although, watching Rook speak in cutscenes without his goatee moving an inch (like his mouth and chin were trapped in a hair box) was very awkward,
so, I added the goofy double chin knob goatee on top and it turned out pretty unique and interesting.
It really helped in the movement in cutscenes.
Also, the whole of the facial hair is a little offset to the right, so... more fancy slider work.

If anyone knows how to fix these issues and is willing to help, please comment. I will check back often.
Also, will include the project file, in case anyone wants to experiment.

To install, you will need the latest Alpha Frosty Mod Manager release by wavebend.
You cannot use other versions or other mod managers, including Vortex.
Follow this guide by PinkyDude for step by step instructions on the installation and usage of the mod manager.
If you get an error when trying to import the mod into Frosty, you need to unzip the downloaded archive. There are a variety of tools for this. I can recommend 7-Zip, which is free and open source. With 7-Zip installed, you can simply right click the downloaded file and go to 7-Zip -> Extract Here if you want to extract the mod file into the current folder, or 7-Zip -> Extract Files... if you want to specify a different destination folder.
Warning
As of December 2024, Veilguard modding is in its infancy. There is no guarantee that mods will work 100% of the time (especially if the game gets updated) or that they won't cause any issues later down the line. Proceed with caution. AND BACK UP YOUR SAVES!
