FEEDBACK THREAD ON THE STEP FORUMS
PATCH 1.10
Overview
This is a major update of the Witcher 3: The Return Of The White Wold modding guide. It requires many extra steps and attention to details than a usual update, therefore I decided to commit a separate page to document the process. There are several reasons for this major update: The Witcher 3 patch 1.10 is a massive 15GB downlad and includes over 600 fixes and improvements and it's required to play Hearts of Stone expansion. The detailed patch notes document is a 12 A4 pages long read! Link below. You should read it. No, really! All the DLC are now merged into a single download and a new download is available for users of Hearts of Stone game expansion. And Nexus Mod Manager, which is a mod manager software for Witcher 3 also had a major update recently that changed how the program works.
Due to all the above, this guide is also going through a major update to acclimate to this new modding environment.
