📋 About This Mod

Makes the animals in the game friendly to Geralt so you don't have to kill them.

For people who don't like killing animals. Bears, boars, panthers, wild dogs and wolves will no longer attack Geralt. There are a few exceptions for animals you have to fight to progress quests, such as the bear in "A Princess in Distress" and the dogs in White Orchard you have to fight with Mislav because Rabid dogs still attack. Animal summons in combat (such as the wolves summoned by Leshens) will still fight you. I also haven't been able to make guard dogs in bandit camps unaggressive, except for the ones in the Toussaint "hansa" camp.

Installation

Just drag and drop the "modfriendlyanimals" folder inside of the rar file into the "Mods" folder in your Witcher 3 directory.

Please let me know if you run into any issues. :)

  • []2. 0 The wolves that you have to kill to defend Gretka will now attack you as they should so that you can advance the quest without killing friendly wolves

    []3. 0 Fixed a glitch where the wolves in "Fool's Gold" would stand still and prevent you from progressing the quest. I changed them to ghouls because switching them to guard dogs was causing the same issue. The ghouls will attack and you can advance the quest as intended

  • 3. 1 The wolves on the Isolated Hut in Skellige have been changed to Ghouls
