📋 About This Mod

Just a simple mod inspired by everyone's favorite concept art that I knocked together for my own use and decided to share on here.

This mod builds on NemsMole's original Bear Armor Fur Mantle mod by replacing the bandanna on the Mastercreafted Ursine Armor with fur (the same used by NemsMole), but also completely removes the bandanna from the Superior Ursine Armor.

NOTE THAT THIS MOD DOES NOT AND WILL NOT BE A TEXTURE MOD. IF YOU WANT IT TO REALLY LOOK LIKE THE CONCEPT ART, I RECOMMEND YOU USE The Berserker - HD Ursine Set Concept Retexture by thin_o_vintage (INSTRUCTIONS FOR TEXTURE MOD COMPATIBILITY BELOW).

TO INSTALL (Manually):

  • Download the mod . RAR file and extract the modSuperBear folder inside (I recommend using 7-Zip) it to the "Mods" folder in your Witcher 3 installation directory (create the "Mods" folder if it's not there). It should look like "<Witcher 3 Directory>\Mods\modSuperBear".
RECOMMENDED: Go to your Witcher 3 Documents folder (default is "Documents\The Witcher 3", the same folder where your input.settings and user.settings files are located), create mods.settings file by creating a text file called mods.settings, removing the .txt extension, and confirming changing file type. Edit the file and add the following lines:

Enabled=1 Priority=10

TO DISABLE: Open you "mods.settings" file with a note editor, find the lines you added in the RECOMMENDED step, and set "Enabled=1" to "Enabled=0". You can also use this file to manage mod priorities.

TO UNINSTALL: Simply delete the "modWitchArmor" folder from your "Mods" directory and the "DLC99" folder from your "DLC" directory (you can also delete the entry in your "mods.settings" file).

TO USE WITH URSINE ARMOR TEXTURE MODS: Set the priority of this mod LOWER (a higher number) than the texture mod in your mods.settings file.

Recommended mods: The Berserker - HD Ursine Set Concept Retexture by thin_o_vintage. PROBABLY THE BEST URSINE RETEX THERE IS!!! Bear Armor Fur Mantle by NemsMole. The original "version" of this mod. No Alternate Hairstyles by me. Removes the stupid "tucked" hairstyles from the Ursine, Witch Hunter, and Undvik armor sets (THERE WILL BE CLIPPING!!!) [

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2015, check if it works with your game version—if you have the Game of the Year Edition, test it after installing.
  • Use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex to easily enable/disable the mod if you encounter issues.
  • If you're using other Ursine armor mods, load this one after them to ensure the changes apply correctly.
