This is updated and fixed version of incredible immersive mod Complete Animations from stefan3372.

I am not a creator of original mod, I only compile fixes for some annoying bugs and introduce just a little new features. Since author is agreed with redistribution I decided to share my compilation here.

Compared with original mod the Redux version includes the following new features:

  • []Mesh buffer fix (thx to bunmenot)

    []Fix for bug when you can't loot items after switched back to Geralt from Ciri (thx to rmemr)

    []Slow-mo bugfix when you start looting and cutscene has started then

    []New animation of drinking potion - if Original or Alternate drinking animation is selected, in Exploration state Geralt perform true drinking animation from potion bottle instead of Horn animation. Movable or Combat drinking animations unchanged (still Horn animations)
