TW3 Lightly Modded - Big Improvement

FYI. There seems to be an issue with Vortex, introduced in a recent update. Vortex's handling of The Witcher 3 needs updating I'll remove this warning once this issue has been resolved.

This is my current TW3 mod set up. As you can see on the Mods tab, it is mostly retextures and QOL mods. It also includes the underlying support mods necessary. Should be good to go, as all necessary merges and load ordering are already done.  

For TW3 v1.32 GOTY. Not compatible with the next gen update, for now.

 

Install on a new unmodded game only.

 

Immersive Sound seems problematic for some people. Until I can get TW3 reinstalled and edit the collection to make it optional, if you have trouble, try disabling it and rerunning the script merger.

 

Don't forget to apply the mod limit fix, if you haven't already. Mod Limit Fix link or use the built in Vortex version.  

Script Merger Notes:

The script merges will import correctly, but the text/xml merges will not. So, Script Merger will still need to be run. No worries. It should be easy, as the xml merges are automatic. Note that you will get a message in Script Merger similar to this:

gameplay\items_plus\def_item_ingredients.xml modBugFix_MasterCollection01xml modRazorShaving Expected Path: Merged Bundle Content\Gameplay\items_plus|def_item_ingredients.xml Remove from Merges list & repack merged bundle? Yes/No

Just answer "yes" and allow Script Merger to do its thing. After that run Script Merger once more, merging what is left. You should be good to go, at this point.

YouTube Installation Video:

You can safely go to about the 11:50 mark if you want to skip the download process.

Suggested ReShade:

I suggest adding Galaxy Reshade w/ RTGI for best look.

Notes:

The two mods listed as "off site" are really bundled with the collection. No additional downloads are necessary.
