Spider-Man 2 has been available on Steam for less than a week, but fans have already created a popular mod that restores Miles Morales’ signature fade haircut from the earlier game, Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Spider-Man games have long sparked lively debates among players, from changes to Peter Parker’s face to controversies over different suits. One major point of contention in Spider-Man 2 was Miles’ new hairstyle. Instead of his clean fade seen in the first game, he now sports a high-top dreadlock fade. Many fans criticized this new look as generic and stereotypical, with some preferring the original fade, feeling it suited Miles better.
The recent Steam release of Spider-Man 2 gave modders the chance to customize the game. CarlosRPG5555, a mod creator on Nexus Mods, uploaded a mod that replaces Miles’ dreadlocks with his original fade from the spin-off game. The mod effectively restores Miles’ classic hairstyle, making him look like his previous version.
However, some users have reported minor issues, such as Miles’ neck clipping through his suit, likely because the mod directly ports the head model from the earlier game. The creator is aware and plans to fix these glitches in future updates.
For fans unhappy with the new look, this mod offers a welcome option to bring back the iconic fade that many believe better fits Miles Morales’ character.
