📋 About This Mod
The story of the mod is as simple as the mod itself. I just didn't like that I couldn't sell all those crossbow bolts I had gathered. The bolts have some weight and overtime they can take up a bit too much space that could be filled with something way better or lucrative. Yes, you can just throw them on the ground but that feels a little wasteful and inconvenient. I'd rather get rid of unwanted items the usual way, by selling them to merchants.
So up to the nexus mods I went and found a mod that seemed to be exactly what I needed. But it was a bit buggy, at least in my game, like all the versions of the mod the author had put up worked exactly the same. But, yes, I could sell the bolts with it, but somehow the prices for bolts of any kind were sitting exactly at one measly crown, and, um, I could also buy them very cheaply.
So this is why I made this modification. It doesn't mess with vanilla pricing, so the buying price for the bolts stays the same, and the selling price is your usual rip-off, but at least, it's not a single coin for all kinds of bolts.
Installation:
Just extract the archive into the mods folder in the root directory of your Witcher 3 installation. If there's no "mods" folder in there, just create it manually and then extract the arhive in it.
You can also use the awesome the Witcher 3 Mod Manager to install the mod:
And probably Vortex, but I've never used it, so I can't really say.
Compatibility:
Should be compatible with anything that doesn't edit "def_item_bolts.xml"
Special Thanks:
To the user known as floppypig on here, who pretty much walked me through into some basic modding and who also made a "light" (actually not so light) gameplay overhaul I thoroughly enjoy. If you're interested, you can check it right here.
