📋 About This Mod
All my mods were made in OG (
1. 31/1. 32 game version), and then the changes were transferred to NG (
4. 04+ game version) scripts. I always post two separate versions in one archive if necessary. If there is only one version in the archive, it is universal. If the mod is only for OG, I will especially note this.
Description in English:
Replaces the name of the burning effect from 'Fire damage' to, paradoxically… 'Burning'! You can see this name in Geralt's buffs or when adding it to enemies. The vanilla localization string is used, so it is compatible with any language.
Installation:
Place the modCorrectBurningName folder in the Mods folder. Optionally use 'Witcher Script Merger' to resolve conflicts.
_____________________
Описание на русском:
Заменяет имя эффекта горения с «Урон огнём» на, как ни парадоксально… «Горение»! Вы можете видеть это название в баффах Геральта или при добавлении на врагов. Используется ванильная строка локализации, так что совместимо с любым языком.
Поместить папку modCorrectBurningName в папку Mods. При необходимости использовать "Witcher Script Merger" для разрешения конфликтов.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says – fixes a naming inconsistency that bugs lore purists
- Works for both Classic and Next Gen, so no need to pick a version
- Lightweight and safe – no script changes, just a text tweak
⚠️ Cons
- Very niche – only affects a single status effect name, so impact is minimal
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you can't preview the change before installing
- Last updated in February 2026 – likely fine, but no recent updates to confirm compatibility with the latest patches
For Witcher 3 players who notice and care about the 'Fire damage' label and want it to say 'Burning' instead. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes – this is purely cosmetic text editing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a text-only change, it's safe to install with any mod manager or manually – just drop the file into your mods folder.
- If you're using the Next Gen version, make sure you download the correct file – the mod page should have separate downloads for Classic and Next Gen.
- Load order doesn't matter for this mod, but if you have other mods that alter status effects, install this one after them to ensure the name sticks.
