*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`.
- If you encounter a *the save game file is missing or corrupt* it's probably because you haven't installed Project Mersey properly. Read How to install section on this page.
***
# 🐵 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. 👀
