📋 About This Mod
Replaces the blurry, glowing Witcher Senses highlight with clean, crisp outlines. Fixes outlines breaking up and flickering behind grass and vegetation. Fully configurable in-game.
Witcher Senses highlight clues, loot and herbs with a shimmering red or orange glow.
Cleaner Witcher Senses Outlines (CWSO) lets you choose sharp outlines, soft edges or filled highlights, with separate settings for objects and clues. The mod also improves highlight stability when grass and foliage obscure an object.

Keep the ASI loader if another mod needs it.
Compatibility
CWSO no longer includes its own
dinput8.dllIt uses a separate ASI loader, which can also load other ASI mods.
Mods that modify the Witcher Senses rendering or focus shader may still conflict. CWSO uses script annotations rather than replacing the game's focus and menu scripts.
A future game update that changes the focus shader may require a CWSO update.
