📋 About This Mod
Passing through zones with enemies will no longer make Geralt take his sword out. It is really nice when you're just trying to get to your destination.
Mod is designed to be used by those who like to play with auto-sheathing On, but don't want it when going from one place to another on horseback because random animals trigger it and you don't even want to fight them.
Installation: Extract and drop modHorseSheathing folder into TW3 Dir/mods/
Use Script Merger to merge with your other mods.
Very lightweight - expect no merge errors. Tested on 1. 31 and 1. 32 game versions.
