Welcome to Caerme. This is a mod guide for Witcher 3 Complete Edition and is the Vanilla unfriendly guide, opposite to my other guide Lune
The purpose of this mod guide is to overhaul almost all aspects of the Witcher 3 to bring it to a higher standard than it currently sits at. Some underlying issues with Witcher 3 have been adressed while a large amount of the vanilla systems have been overhauled. The focus is to provide something more interesting and complex while also allowing for a more modular design
The guide recommends that you are at least somewhat familliar with modding Witcher 3 although I will provide instructions on how to do it should you not know
Disclaimer
This guide diverts from the vanilla design in quite a few ways. If you prefer a more vanilla+ orientated guide then use my other guide Lune

The guide is often in a state of updating. As long as something is not critical I bring updates about every 2 weeks although this will vary from time to time.
If you would like to keep up with future plans of the guide I have a link to a Trello which details what I am currently considering, what I will add and what I will remove from the guide
