📋 About This Mod
Description: Makes it possible to purchase mutagens from the Mysterious Merchant in all chapters. Yes, even though they still cost quite a bit of orens it is still a cheat and unbalancing, but a lot of min-max players would simply farm respawning monsters until they had the mutagens they wanted anyways. If your character build is based around mutagens and you don\'t want to spend hours farming nekkers, then this mod might be a convenience for you. Installation/Uninstallation: To install simply extract the archive into your \"CookedPC\" folder. The \"def_shops.xml\" file should end up in the \"The Witcher 2/CookedPC/items/\" directory if the extraction went correctly. If you wish to uninstall just navigate to your \"CookedPC/items\" folder and delete the \"def_shops.xml\" file. You can also delete the \"items\" folder if you have no other mods/patches/expansions which make use of the it (if there is nothing else inside the folder). Incompatibilities/Saved Game Warnings: This mod will be incompatible with any other mod that modifies the contents of shopkeepers\' inventories. If the other mod in question contains the \"defs_shops.xml\" file then it will overwrite or be overwritten by this mod depending on which order you installed them. Always make sure you backup your save files before using any mods, but with that said there should be no issues with adding(or removing) this mod to any of your current saved games.
