*Enjoy The Witcher: Enhanced Edition - Director's Cut in the best way possible. The true vanilla experience, without any gameplay balance and cheats, but visually improved and lore-friendly. Note that folder structures are designed to work as a whole for this collection. It might not work if you already have installed mods, but a 100% guarantee on a fresh install.*
***
# ⚠️ How to install
I designed the collection to install flawlessly on a base game. There are however 2 and half things you'll have to manage outside of Vortex. Your Override folder is where all your mods are located in. It's at `GAMEFOLDER/Data/Override`.
> [Project Mersey](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/941) ✂️ Cut "modules" from Override and paste it in `GAMEFOLDER/Data`. Confirm the overwriting.

> [4GB RAM](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/954) ⚙️ Run the 4gb_patch.exe in Override and select `GAMEFOLDER/System/witcher.exe`.

> [Ambient occlusion](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/807) 👥 [NVIDIA USERS ONLY] Open the Nvidia Profile Inspector in Override, select The Witcher, then import the profile "The Witcher HBAO+.nib" (still in Override) and apply. 
***
# 🐺 Rise of the White Wolf
- Cleaner UI.
- New unique textures for characters (lore-friendly).
- New skyboxes.
- Yaren Bolt model, elf textures and cutscenes have been fixed to comply with RotWW.
***
# 🐛 Bug fixes & new features
- [Project Mersey](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/941) includes quality of life improvements, tons of restored content. 🙏 Leuvaarden buys salamander badges from you with Mersey. Geralt moves 30% faster.
- [4GB Memory Patch](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/954) allows a x86 executable to use 4GB of RAM instead of 2. The Witcher is an old game and those extra GB may improve its stability if you use many texture mods. 
- You can now zoom and unzoom widely with the mouse wheel.
- Reverend's beard texture.
- Kalkstein and Leuvaarden clues.
- Han gives han.
- Celina and Julian fix with optional English, German, or French voice files.
- New unique texture for the water Nymph, cf. Optional files.
- Morenn's romance.
***
# ✨ HD & AI enhanced
- AI upscaled textures + The Witcher overhaul + Rise of the White Wolf.
- (Optional, it's heavy) AI upscaled 720 ➡️ [4K videos](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/989): intro, outro, romance cards, and more.
- AI upscaled loading screens and memories.
- Already contains the [Dontforceminreqs Low Res Texture Fix](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/649), forcing the game to use high-res textures.
- Already contains the [Rain fog remover](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/813).
***
# ⚔️ Details from later games
- [Hiuuz](https://www.nexusmods.com/users/50692546?tab=user+files)'s astonishing textures from The Witcher 3.
- Foltest from The Witcher 2.
- Kaer Morhen textures from The Witcher 3, only applied to Kaer Morhen walls.
- Complete sword overhaul: imports swords from TW2 & TW3 in TW1. With HD textures and Rise of the White Wolf icons.
- [Aerondight](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/923) from The Witcher 3.
***
# Optional files
- 4K fonts increase the size of every text. Useful if you play on higher resolution than 1920*1080.
- Lovely Gwent texture on the dice board.
- Ambient occlusion for Nvidia users. Adds realistic shadows on every edges. You might want to disable ingame antialiasing in the options.
- [NSFW] You can restore Morenn's original green skin (RotWW censors her) and / or give the water Nymph different textures than the dryad. They shared the same in the base game, now they are independent.
- AI upscaled 720 ➡️ [4K videos](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/989): intro, outro, romance cards, and more.
- Lore-friendly Triss outfit for Prologue and Epilogue. Low resolution however, see media 13.
***
# 🔧 Known issues
I'm not an expert when it comes to actually modding The Witcher 1. If you have the knowledge or know a workaround, please comment.
- Neck of Triss with her outfit in Prologue. RotWW gives her a semi transparent black shirt. She is supposed to never wear low-cut necklines after 1263 (Sodden scars). Install the optional [lore Triss](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/753) if you prefer, see media 13.
- Hair of Triss going wild at the very beginning of chapter 3. I don't know why.
- If you're playing at a [1280*720p resolution, subtitles are likely to disappear](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/669). Delete `Override/RotWW/fonts/fonts.2da`.
***
# 🐵 Wanna go further? (not in collection)
These following mods are **NOT** in the collection. They are suggestions if you want to add features that aren't in the base game. I haven't tested them.
- [Walk Enabler](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/888) adds a button to walk in third person.
- [Young noblewomen addon](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/972) restores a cut 3D model with textures. I couldn't get Antoinette to use it but the female guests at Leuvaarden's party did. The UTC files should go into `Override/RotWW/z_fcrcharacters/utc`.
- [Lost English Translation](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/992) restores the original translation made by CD Projekt Red, before the publisher simplified it. It was closer to Polish and the books. Note that this mod conflicts a lot.
***
# 🙈 Wanna cheat a little? (not in collection)
As I said, I prefer the vanilla experience. So these are **NOT** in the collection, but you can install them anyway, they exist and may make The Witcher 1 less painful I admit.
- [Fairer trade](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/789). You will sell items for roughly 40% more orens.
- [Greater item stacking](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/736). Geralt has double size pockets.
- [Various QOL](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/826) including meditating and accessing chest inventory from everywhere.
- [More talents](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/737). You can grind to unlock them all.
- [Herbs refill](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/31) more frequently.

#### Many thanks to the amazing modders who gave their time and love to improve The Witcher 1 over the years.
***
I used their mods for my [LOREPLAY on The Witcher](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK2d2hF2l9rdp3zccTXCNc8637tHrhCoQ). The latest videos are in 4K if you want to check how it looks, although I have made the collection afterwards and Geralt doesn't have the striga scar, some walls use Kaer Morhen's textures etc...
LOREPLAY is a let's play but with maximum quality, difficulty, and lore explained while playing. And memes. 👀

The Witcher best experience LOREPLAY

**FEAT**
- Project Mersey has been updated to 2.1. See the mod page for the changelist. Move manually the "modules" folder from Override to Data.
- Added "how to install" section on the collection page, fixing corrupted save file bug.

**FIX**
- Aerodight now has a "Rise of the White Wolf-ish" icon in the inventory.

**FEAT**
- Optional lore-friendly Triss outfit for Prologue and Epilogue.

**FEAT**
- [Morenn's romance + storage option](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/921).
- New "Known issues" section on the collection page.

**FIX**
- 4K videos are now optional, so you don't have to download those GB to make the collection work. Good luck with your connection. 🙏

**BUG**
- It appears to trigger a "corrupted save file" when you enter the temple quarter for the first time in Chapter 3. Purge all mods, go in the temple quarter, then re-enable the collection.

**FEAT**
- New 4K videos from the [Movie Upscale Project](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/989), upscaling every video up to 4K. Yes, this is heavy.

**FEAT**
- Aerondight uses the model from the Witcher 3.

**FIX**
- No more floating texture on elves with Rise of the White Wolf.

These 2 first new features turn the collection into NSFW. Don't worry, they are optional. 

**FEAT**
- New optional green skin texture for Morenn. Rise of the White Wolf gives her a light skin and an outfit. Now you can make her vanilla and HD!
- New optional turquoise skin texture for the water Nymph. In the base game she shares the same textures as Morenn, now she can be unique, and HD of course.
- New RotWW addon in the *Wanna go Further* section.
- Added the optional French voices for Celina fix. Et voilà.

**FIX** : Rise of the White Wolf introduced new character models, and sometimes the game still uses the old assets.
- Yaren Bolt's beard is fixed.
- 2 cutscenes display the right models now.

**FEAT**
- Added the new [Celina and Julian fix](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/964) by [Itsheppard](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/users/1166278). I have tested with the English voice files, not with German, but I don't see a reason it wouldn't work.

On a sidenote, [Project Mersey 2.0](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/941) now includes faster movement for Geralt, greater item stacking, access to storage in chapter 5, less expensive choices etc... I'm not sure about updating it in this collection which is cheating free.

**FEAT**
- Added [camera tweaks](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/730).
- Added the Texsettings Downgrade Fix standalone file.
- New "wanna cheat a little" section on the collection page.


**FEAT**
- Added the [4GB memory patch](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/954) improving The Witcher 1's stability. A bit of manual installation for you.
- Updated [Project Mersey](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/941) from 1.10 to 1.20. Mod author recommends to delete the previous version and then to install the latest, which I did.

**FIX**
- You no longer have to manually delete the Forswearer folder, it's already done.

# **FIX**
- Fixed the circle life bar turning into triangles below the characters in the [AI Upscale Textures](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/808?tab=bugs).

# **FEAT**
- Added the [AI uspcaled loading screens and memories](https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher/mods/952) released on February 16th, 2022.

The best possible experience for The Witcher 1. Maximum quality including: fixes, better UI, HD & lore-friendly textures. This is what I used during my LOREPLAY.
