This FAQ is an attempt to answer some common re-occurring Witcher 3 questions. Please note that failing to follow these steps correctly may damage your game. All modding comes with a degree of risk, and it is completely possible to overload any game with mods, which can result in FPS loss, longer load times, and any other number of other issues.
The essentials that you will need to mod the game are:
Prior to adding any mod you will have to create a folder in your main Witcher 3 folder called: Mods
This needs to be done manually.
Custom Localization Fix: http://www.nexusmods...her3/mods/897/?
This is necessary for any mod that alters the menus in the game.
Custom Localization Fix is a mod that is placed in your Mods folder
Extract "modCustomLocalizationFix" to <Witcher 3 Dir>\Mods\
Copy "modCustomLocalizationFix\bin" folder to <Witcher 3 Dir> and overwrite preexisting files to repair damaged localization.ini from other mods
Use Script Merger as needed if you have other mods that modify the following files: baseEffect.ws, hudModuleBuffs.ws, igmOptions.ws
Script Merger: http://www.nexusmods...her3/mods/484/?
This is necessary to resolve conflicts between mods that modify the same file.
Script Merger is a standalone program that can be placed anywhere; it simply needs you to direct it to your main Witcher 3 directory. In most case the automatic function will solve your conflicts. There are however times when it will present you with an message that ‘x’ amount of conflicts remain. You will have to pick which line of the two mods will get the OK. Some conflicts are un-resolvable because they alter too many of the same lines. Single line conflicts have the best chance of working without major issues.
Creating a Load Order:
Load Order in Witcher 3 is not as critically necessary as with Skyrim plug-ins, this information is provided more as an FYI.
NMM cannot adjust Load Order so it needs to be done manually.
Create a txt file called Mods.settings and remove the txt extension from the file.
It is placed in your Witcher 3 games folder. Usually: Documents\ games\ The Witcher 3
The following first three lines must be added to this file
[modBaseScripts]
Enabled=1
Priority=9999
[<insert the next mod name here>]
Enabled=1
Priority=9998
The lower the number the higher the mod is in your load order.
Simply go to your Mods folder and copy down the mod folder title and add it to your list.
