📋 About This Mod
Thanks to ElementaryLewis, there is now a new version that is compatible with v4. 0+.
I initially made this as a part of 4K Armor Textures, but decided to publish it on its own instead. It swaps out the scabbards of the Gryphon, Ursine, Wolven/Manticore and Feline armor sets with the scabbards shown in the pictures. It was meant to be used with the aforementioned mod, as the vanilla scabbard colors were not very fitting to the reworked armors.

⚠️ Cons

For Witcher 3 players who want a subtle visual tweak to their armor without overhauling the whole game. If you're a completionist who's seen every default scabbard a thousand times, this adds a bit of freshness. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or major armor overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple replacer, just drop the files into your mods folder—no script merger needed.
- If you use other armor mods, check load order to ensure this one takes priority if you want its scabbards.
- Back up your original files if you're worried about reverting, but it's easy to just remove the mod.
