📋 About This Mod
This mod was a request mod I've received and decided to upload here for safe-keeping and ease of access. I believe someone did something similar at some point but apparently it was removed. Doesn't edit any .xml file for maximum compatibility so you won't run into problems with mods that change item stats. Both versions can be used alongside eachother, since they are independent, which means using both will completely invert the look of the armors.
modManticoreSwap -> Turns the Legendary version into the Standard version of the armor set.
modManticoreSwap_NGP -> Turns the Standard Manticore into the Legendary version of the armor set.
Installation:
1. Choose the version you want to swap and download the file;
2. Extract it using the unpacker of your choosing (eg. winzip/winrar/7zip);
3. Drag and drop the extracted folder into your "/The Witcher 3/Mods/" directory (if it doesn't exist, create it);
4. Play the game.
Uninstallation:
1. Remove the folder of the chosen version from the Mods folder.
