📋 About This Mod
So I was tired of seeing all the Witcher's in the world using the same exact swords. Only Vesemir and Gaetan use different swords. So thanks to vinh1998, I was able to get this mod and permission to upload it. This replaces Letho's, Lambert's, and Eskel's swords and Gaetan's silver sword and armor. Here's exactly what it replaces: Letho: Belhaven Blade for steel and Fen'aeth for silver, Lambert: Black Unicorn for steel and Maugrim for silver, Eskel: Ultimatum for steel and Bliedd for silver. Gaetan has been equipped with the Grandmaster Feline armor and Feline silver sword as well as crossbow. I found these choices to be lore-friendly and fitting for each character. I will add more screenshots as I progress through the story, but I won't mind anyone uploading their own screenshots. Be sure to give vinh1998 some kudos if you like this.
Known Issue: In scenes where the witchers are not supposed to have their swords like surrendering them to the rock trolls at Kaer Morhen, the swords will still equipped on the NPC.
Requires Blood and Wine DLC
THERE WILL NOT BE ANY OTHER SWORDS ADDED OR OPTIONAL FILES UNLESS VINH1998 DECIDES TO ADD THEM
ALWAYS USE SCRIPT MERGER WHEN ADDING MODS TO CHECK FOR INCOMPATIBILITIES.
UPDATE: A new file has been added that removes the Wolf Medallion from Gaetan. The old file has been removed.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 618 endorsements
- Simple, focused cosmetic change that enhances immersion
- Lightweight mod with no complex dependencies
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may not be compatible with the latest game version
- Only affects two specific aspects, so it's quite limited in scope
For Witcher 3 players who want a bit more visual variety in NPC witchers without overhauling the whole game. If you're a lore purist who likes Gaetan in proper Cat gear, this is a quick win. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple replacer, just drop the files into your Mods folder (or use a mod manager) and make sure it's enabled.
- If you're using other mods that alter NPC appearances, load order might matter — place this one after to ensure it takes effect.
- Check the mod's comments section for any reported issues with the latest game patch, as it hasn't been updated since 2016.
