📋 About This Mod
You may have seen that this mod will now be included in the upcoming "next-gen" patch for the Witcher III. While I don't have any details on exactly which parts are included, CDPR kindly reached out to use my mod as part of the bug fixing for the new update. This only covered the work done by myself, as I can not give permission on behalf of others. So anything in the documentation credited to other users in the notes below is not included, but may have been modified or fixed by CDPR themselves, given that they have seemingly added many small bug fixes.
Thank you for the downloads and support over the years, I am happy that it is now official :)
I will of course not be deleting this mod or anything, but I imagine that after the update on December 14th 2022 it will be largely redundant!
