Options: overwrite old remove old first. Options: yes no. Default: yes. This option is for new users to remind them that they might need to merge the scripts or 2 mods might not work. Feel free to disable it if you don't need it. Video of me presenting new features added by 0.

NMM is a manager of many games, but master of none, and it never will master any of them. Having experience providing support for Mod Organizer, here's some things you can learn. Don't reinvent the wheel, when something does the job well already, like Script Merger , you use that tool, making it easily accessible. MO has the ability to add any tool the user wants, with a built in toolbar feature to run them all. Manual browsing of archive contents, and the ability to rearrange them on the fly, to enable installation to succeed, no matter how badly the mod is packaged, is a must have.

Apart from the virtual file system, that was the most used MO feature, MO was great at autoinstalling well packaged mods. Many mods have strange layouts inside the archives, they need rearranging to even work Another thing that MO could do was use the NMM nxm protocol to enable use of the Nexus Mods Download with Manager button.

NMM, and MO are both open source code, and another manager could also do the same. It's the non standard cases, where automation will faI, giving the user the power to take control is needed then. Existing features I think need changing. Settings Manager shouldn't add multiple identical code segments, whether the game ignores them, or not. It's still messy, and not easy for the user to deal with manually, and as you already have stopped that exact thing for Input.

Settings, you just need to use that code for both settings files. Second one is the adding of merges to existing mods, it's never a good idea to edit mods on the fly, the mod should always be left in it's original state. Then the 3rd, 11th, and 19th merged mods are uninstalled, requiring roll backs of all the merges, to ensure everythings applied correctly. Find the installation path of your game. Be sure it is just one big folder instead of multiple different folders.

Since all of the mods are in Nexus, this tool makes it a lot easier to download, install, update and manage your mods. Some mods can be incompatible with each other or may require certain installing orders, and this software makes it all easier. Download it Nexus Mod Manager. Like the first one, this is one is another must. It enables you to use the debug console to use hundreds of different console commands to fix stuff and do various different tasks like changing settings, freezing time or spawning enemies to take cool videos or screenshots.

Download Debug Console Enabler. While The Witcher 3 has a great combat, it can get repetitive after hundreds of hours of gameplay -like every game- and even on the hardest difficulty, you can master it pretty quickly.

This mod makes each encounter much more exciting and challenging: enemies are smarter and faster and do different attacks as they level up instead of just hitting harder. Perfect for a second playthrough and can even be great for your first time if you love challenging combat. Download Enemies of Rivia. It also does not steal while auto-looting, so you do not have to worry.

Download AutoLoot. The Witcher 3 has great graphics and lighting but for optimization sake, developers did not add shadows to every light source. This mod adds shadows to every light source you can imagine: torches on walls, torches that guards carry, large braziers in cities, candles, lamps and also tweaks shadow fade and autohide distances for all adjusted light sources.

If you have a strong PC, this is one of the best mods to improve immersion. What it lacks is more blood. If you like gore like me in your melee combat, More Blood adds different blood trails for different enemy types and now Geralt can be covered in blood. Combine this with mod below, and you are in for a more cinematic combat.
