The witcher 3 | Mod Collection

A collection of mods that you might like, or at least that I liked.

Script Merger

Detects conflicts between mods and helps you resolve them, either by creating merged files that override conflicting ones, or by configuring a custom download order for your mods. Merges are easy to undo because they don't change the original mod or game files. Depending on your mods, some merges may require a basic understanding of the code.
Why is this useful

When you have multiple modes that modify the same game file, TW3 loads only 1 of the model versions of that file, overriding all previous versions. Such conflicts are common and can lead to the breakdown of mods. Merging scripts tries to make the problem less painful.

What it does

Despite the name, Script Merger detects mod conflicts in packages.bundle, as well as in scripts.ws. Then it will help you eliminate them by creating merged versions of conflicting text files. This leaves the source files intact, but overrides them. It cannot merge non-text conflicts, but for them it can help you manage your custom loading order (the mods.settings file) so that some mods override others.
