    I love you.

    Would you be able to fix the Vanilla options menu too? The addition of the mod menu makes 11 total entries.

    - Should change the Description guide to this one. 

    Here's a quick guide to follow on how to use this fantastic mod.


    Firstly, any mods that add menus are going to have their respective xml file in your
    YourPathHere\The Witcher 3\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc

    Step by step, using Preparations as an example:

    1) Open up the the file, in this case modPreparationsConfig.xml in your choice of code editor (normal notepad will not help you, while it's doable, it's a lot messier). I recommend Notepad++
    2) It will look something like this:

    3) The only lines we want to edit are the ones starting with <Group id="xxxx" displayName="Mods.XXX">
    4) A super easy way to find all the ones you have to edit is to click the little minus icon next to the <Group id . . . >
    5) Once you've done this, it should look like this:

    6) Now all you need to do is edit the <Group id . . . > lines by adding a tag "Mods.YourTAGHere.mod_mod.xxx" .. Like you can see in the picture above, I chose gameplay for preparations.
    7) DONE. You will now see the mods settings in-game under your choice of tag (out of the ones provided in menu strings)
    Available tags are:
    alchemy_and_equipment
    camera
    characters
    combat
    gameplay
    quests_and_adventures
    user_interface
    visuals_and_graphics
    miscellaneous

      It's an example. Follow the instruction of Winkwinky down there.

      How do I get the menu strings mod menu to show up in game?? I've installed the mod and used TW3MM but its not showing up. should I do a fresh install and install that mod first?

      No, I’m still adding lines to xxx.xml; manually.
      Checking 'dx12filelist' is always the first thing I do when something doesn’t work
      I’m not exactly a new when it comes to modding... but every time I try to get this one working, I completely fail...
      It’s not a big deal. But it would be nice to have the "Mods" tab organized.

      Then check if you didn't delete by accident "Mods" in their settings files.
      And use nonetheless Menu Filelist Updater.

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help? I'm having trouble getting the mod menu to show up in game. I have read the detailed guide below and edited the xml as shown. However I still see no mod menu. Just so were clear I can't even click into it. Like from going to options then I see no mod menu. Any help would be appreciated I'm trying to edit the fovtweak mod for the next gen version of witcher

    "When I install an odd number of mods with menus, the mod menu in the options doesn't disappear, but if it's even, it disappears. Moreover, if I have three mods with menus... only the last one appears in the submenu I used. The other menus disappear, it's really strange and I don't understand... tested individually, all my mods appear in the correct submenu configured according to the tutorial."

    Far too complicated to install. Is there really no way to do this as a through the vortex mod manager?

      We strongly don't advise using Vortex.
      I always recommend Winkwinky's instruction in the post below.

      Menu Filelist Updater is just a tool for easy installation of mods settings.
      While Menu String fix the bugged menu settings list where you have too much mods settings.

      Both doesn't do the same thing and both can be used together.
