📋 About This Mod
This mod replaces various loading screens so that you don't have to look at the same loading screens all the time.
Currently there are five versions to choose from (2 concept art versions, 2013, VGX, 2014, 2015 and W1 version).
The mod should be compatible with other UI mods as long as it has priority over them.
I highly recommend to use the mod together with Vladimir UI, especially for the 2013 and concept art versions.
Installation: Unzip and drop into the mods folder in your Witcher 3 directory and give it priority when using with other UI mods such as Vladimir UI
Big thanks to ridman who assisted me and gave me permission to use some of his files from W2UI as a base for this mod and to RISE who always helps me with choosing images, tests early versions and also contributed some of his own screenshots as loading screens!

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's file structure to see if it replaces files directly or uses a mod manager.
