📋 About This Mod
Description
The mod will add a unique name and description for each harbor in the game. Sometimes it will be the same as the corresponding signpost, but sometimes it will have a completely new unique description. So, enjoy that bit of extra lore in your life. This should work in all localizations, as the descriptions are already in the game files. For whatever reason CDPR decided to write them and then replace them all with a generic "harbor is a place where you can find a boat".
This mod is for the Classic version of the game and is integrated into the Next-Gen edition.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with over 1,000 endorsements and 19k downloads—clearly a hit.
- Fills a niche that many players didn't know they needed, making harbors feel more alive.
- Simple concept, well-executed: matches the game's existing signpost style.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects harbors, so if you're looking for broader immersion changes, this won't cover it.
- Last updated in November 2025—check if it's compatible with your current game version.
For players who love environmental storytelling and want every location to feel handcrafted. If you're a completionist who reads every signpost, this is a must-have. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
