The Witcher 3 Mod Manager (0.4.1BETA)

What’s new in the latest update for The Witcher 3 Mod Manager.

The general idea of the tool wasn’t changed and the install process is the same:

1. Download mod package from Nexus Mods.
2. Press “Install Mod”.
3. Press “Run Script Merger” and merge your installed mods.

The tool itself was rewritten in Python and now requires these steps to install:

1. Download “The Witcher 3 Mod Manager-2678-0-4-1BETA.zip” file.
2. Unpack this file with any archive manager (I recommend 7zip).
3. Run “The Witcher 3 Mod Manager-0.4.1-x64.msi” file which will guide you through the setup process.

Note that by default the program tries to install itself into “Program Files” folder, but personally I don’t recommend it — here’s a good explanation why. Make yourself “TW3Modding” folder or something and keep all the tools and downloaded mods there.

New GUI:

New features:

• allows to set mod priority and displays mods loading order;
• shows detailed mod information;
• allows to rename mods;
• properly adds mod hotkeys to input.settings;
• detects conflicts between existing and new hotkeys;
• various bugfixes and UI improvements.

How to use the new version:

• Set up your game and Script Merger paths with “Menu -> Settings -> Configure Settings”. You only need to do it once. You can disable “Alert to run Script Merger” setting if you trust yourself to run it when needed.
• To install a mod download it from Nexus and select “Menu -> Mods -> Install mods” option or press “Ctrl+E”. Locate the file you downloaded in the file browser and press “OK” to start the process. All included DLCs, menus and hotkeys are detected and installed automatically!
• You can install multiple mods by selecting multiple downloaded packages.
• To uninstall a mod select its folder in the list and choose “Menu -> Mods -> Uninstall” option or press “Del”. You can select multiple mods with “Ctrl+click”.
• To disable/re-enable a mod check/uncheck corresponding checkbox inside “Enabled” column.
• If you have pop-up messages enabled in the options, after installing/uninstalling a mod a message will appear alerting you about possible script conflicts. Pressing “Yes” will launch Script Merger to find and resolve these conflicts.
• If you don’t have pop-up messages enabled, press “Run Script Merger” button to launch the Script Merger manually.
