Exchanges vanilla buns for a long & loose custom hairstyle for Triss. This is a continuation of what I tried to make for her with my other mod, Triss Glorified - Wardrobe - but now with mesh made from scratch and overall much more polished, less convoluted approach.

2 color options - Chestnut and Auburn.
Custom "hood" hair to fit with the regular style.

DOWNLOADS

 ✤ Triss Book Locks - main file - Chestnut
More reserved and imo more interesting visual option. Haircolor is something between Anarietta's and Oriana's shade. Anarietta's hair were also described as "chestnut" and "auburn" in books btw.

 ✤ Triss Book Locks - main file - Auburn
More vivid and reddish color, fits better with vanilla brows and scalp. Much closer to Oriana and Shani's hair in shade.

 ✤ Triss Book Locks DLC6 - optional file - dlc6 big bun replacement - Chestnut
For use with Triss Alternative Appearance DLC, standalone

 ✤ Triss Book Locks DLC6 - optional file - dlc6 big bun replacement - Auburn
For use with Triss Alternative Appearance DLC, standalone

KNOWN ISSUES

- occasional clipping with vanilla casual outfit collar

FAQ

 • Other color options for Triss?
No.

 • Other characters?
Depends, ask away.

 • Is it compatible with X mod?
General rule of thumb - if said mod uses vanilla red buns - YES, it's compatible. High collared outfits may clip with hair in the back though.

 • 4KRW compatibility?
YES, they're compatible, just give Triss Book Locks higher mod priority.

 • Dynamic / outfit mods compatibility?
As long as they use vanilla red buns / dlc6 big bun, YES, they're compatible - install correct replacer. If they swap her hair to something else, NO, CUSTOM PATCH REQUIRED.

 • Geralt Doppler?
COMPATIBLE.

 • Can I use files from this mod in my mod? 
Absolutely, as long as you don't reupload the custom hair assets. NO REUPLOADS for the hair mesh please, it's my dear bby.
