Mod merger help

[frozentooth]

Hi is it possible to merge any amount of mods ? I'm new to modding and this is my current mod list if someone could help on what should I merge and what not to make the game run again :D

Thanks in advance.

You can not merge script mods with mod merger. Mod merger is only for texture mods(xbm files), particle fx(w2p files), w2mesh, w2ent and animation files. Also will work on xml files, but i highly advise using script merger for xml files. Script merger is for ws and xml files. Script merger looks at all the files and if there is duplicate files with the same name it will compare them and basically put all the info from the files into 1 big file. So you are combining multiple scripts or multiple xml files into 1 big modded file.

 

Also any mod made by Ramccoid besides Blood will not merge it will result in black/white or missing texture files. HD reworked project may or may not merge well. RCT aka Real Contrast Textures will not merge either.

 

Better FX and Improved Particle Systems replace the same files so stick with Better FX its way better then improved particle systems. Also Improve Particle System Lite is the one you want to use if you feel like testing it out. KNGBlood has tons of bugs in it. I highly suggest Brutal Blood 2.0a or if you use the new 3.0a version dont use the animations folder only do the blood part of the mod.

 

Instead of turbo lighting use Wiedzmin Lighting mod its way better looking and has darker nights. Also version 9.0 will be out next month which will be even better looking. 4k grass mod will drop your fps anywhere from 10-20fps so decide if you really want that mod in your game. HD reworked project will drop your fps anywhere from 2-10. And mod that adds 4k textures will drop your fps like hd textures or ultimate hd textures.

 

 

I suggest adding these texture mods to your list as well:

High Quality hair and Beard for Geralt

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/602/?

High Quality Faces

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1024/

Restore Filippa Eyes

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1386/?

 

Depending on what color you like for yens eyes one of the following

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/605/?

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2565/?

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1298/

 

 

MKM for his face textures for Ciri, Triss, Shani, and Yennefer

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/873/?

the file is at the very bottom called MKM_Face_RetextureFix_ALL

 

if you want even better colors with the wiedzming light mod then use this

https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2728/?

 

To make full use of the blood mod and high quality faces then go to your user.settings which is your graphics setting file and change the following things to:

DecalBudget=512

SwarmHideDistance=800

DecalsHideDistance=450

DimmerHideDistance=450

DynamicDecalsHideDistance=450

StripeHideDistance=450

DynamicDecalsLimit=9000

DynamicDecalsChunkLimit=9000

DecalsSpawnDistanceCutoff=20

TextureMemoryBudget=1500

TextureStreamingHeadsDistanceLimitSq=250

TextureStreamingCharacterDistanceLimitSq=250

MeshLODDistanceScale=2

TextureStreamingDistanceLimitSq=50000

TerrainReadAheadDistance=600

EnableSwipe=false

EnablePan=false

EnableGestures=false

EnablePinch=false

these below are not in the original user settings file so just add this to the very bottom of the file

[streaming/Textures]

UseMipRefiner=true

CinematicModeMipBias=-0.3

 

 

if you have a 1080p monitor then change this settings to have your minimap and wolf medallion closer to the corner of the screen

 

uiVerticalFrameScale=1.0650

uiHorizontalFrameScale=1.0375

after you are all done making those changes save the file and then right click on user.settings and select properties then check next to read only and hit ok. This will ensure your graphic settings are never changed.
