The mod allows to hide any of your weapon and place its copy on the body or on Roach.
Includes left hip drawing and sheathing animations.


Important notes:
  • If you have Magical (un)sheathing of weapons or Invisible Weapons and Swords on Roach mods, you must delete them
  • The mod isn't compatible with the Swords on Roach mod, disable that mod, before using this one
  • The toggle hotkey ("0" by default on the keyboard) allows to put your weapon copies on Roach and back on the body, if they're already placed on your body (useful if you use some cloak/cape mods).
  • The mod modifies only the "playerWeaponHolster.ws" file and should be compatible with everything, including W3EE and Ghost Mode, it doesn't change anything those mods change scriptwise.
  • There are many mod's settings, be sure to thoroughly check them, if you want to adjust the mod for yourself
  • You need to set the presets in all the entries of the mod, if you want the mod to work properly
  • Keep in mind that you can scroll the available presets
  • Remember to always set the 'Enable Changes' option to ON every time you change anything
  • Roach's presets are made with the Sezon Burz Witcher's Gear mod
  • If you, e.g. enable the option to show weapons on Roach, you must disable the opposite option to show weapons on the body, the same goes for other similar options
  • Some clippings are unavoidable
  • the "Auto Put <weapon> On Roach" option allows to avoid clippings during the horse riding, if your original weapons are hidden and their copies are placed on the body
  • If you use mods for custom scabbards, their positions will be messed up, you can try to manually adjust them (which is quite a pain) or simply disable the option to show them
  • Doesn't work in cutscenes (?)
  • To disable the mod, first unequip all your weapons, and only then disable the mod in the menu
  • The mod isn't compatible with AMM's custom weapons, I don't use that mod, therefore won't make any patch for it, but if you want to and know how to do such patch, please contact me
  • I've made this mod for myself and tried my best to make it as good as possible, hence there's probably nothing I'll be able to improve, so don't ask, please :)

Spoiler:

The mod should work on both old and the next-gen game versions.

If you have Magical (un)sheathing of weapons or Invisible Weapons and Swords on Roach mods, you must completely delete them:
  • delete the "modInvisibleweapons.xml" file from the bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc folder
  • delete the "dlcInvisibleweapons" folder from the game's "dlc" folder
  • delete the "modInvisibleweapons" and/or "modInvisibleweapons2" folders from the game's "mods" folder

1) DO NOT use any installation managers, it's reported that they might miss some files.
2) Copy the 'bin', 'dlc' and 'mods' folders into your 'The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt' main directory.
3) Follow the instructions of the "readme" file in the archive.
4) Open Script Merger, refresh and re-merge any conflicting files.
5) -- IF you have the next-gen version -- Navigate to 'The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\', add the following line to the end of both 'dx11filelist.txt' and 'dx12filelist.txt' files:
modAweaponscarrying.xml;
5.a) -- IF you have the next-gen version -- OR simply use this utility
6) Run the game, go to the settings for this mod and set the presets for all the mods entries.
7) Play.
