📋 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.
