This Witcher 3 mod makes Dandelion "younger and cuter"

The Witcher 3's Dandelion is, to put it lightly, an acquired taste. A philanderer, schemer, and a ruddy poet to boot, it's a miracle that CD Projekt Red was able to make him tolerable, let alone likeable. He's in his 40s by the time Wild Hunt rolls around, and his growing maturity is a large part of his character arc. Now, however, you'll have the option to significantly de-age the boisterous bard using a simple mod.

Creator Dia's retextured Dandelion strips him of his wrinkles and aims to make him appear "younger and cuter". Whatever you think of his smoothed-out face, surely we can all agree that the missing moustache is no great loss?

What you're seeing in the screenshot below is a combination of several mods. There's the facial retexture mod mentioned above, UncleArtr's beardless Dandelion mod, and fenutus' recoloured outfit. He now resembles a man half his age, which might not make a ton of sense in the context of the game's story but might work well on a second, third, or - if you're me - fourth playthrough.
