📋 About This Mod

WyxvDDNv8Ck

The Witcher 3 mod that reworks all the animals in the game, including expansions.

Many animals in The Witcher 3 have a very bad quality and many of them

are impossible to approach them during normal gameplay (they flee when

you get close). With this type of animals I have done a lighter

reworking as they cannot be seen up close and therefore it would be

useless to rework them totally, but I will come back to them in future

updates if I deem it necessary.
