IMPORTANT
This Mod works only on CLASSIC Editions: (1.32 version)
For the Next Gen version, go to the Next Gen compatible of the mod.
What's the purpose?
Based on the idea of Swap Witcher Armour Appearances, with the permission of the author. Geralt will always have the same looking witcher school swords you equip, not matter their stats or inventory icon.
The appearance depend of the witcher sword rank, meaning that each tier rank is replaced with its equivalent. For example if your equip Enhanced Cat Steel Sword with the appearance of Wolf Swords, your sword will look like Enhanced Wolf Steel Sword.
I only replaced the equipped template and left the inventory icon alone. You can still tell them apart easily in your inventory/stash or when you craft new sword.

Installation
For newcomer/beginner: I invite you reading The Tome of Witcher 3 Modding
1. Download the main file and Mod Limit Adjuster [Necessary, so I won't have the "my game crash/won't launch/infinite load" comments].
2. Extract the folder and choose one of the desired folder. DON'T INSTALL WITH MOD MANAGER!
3. Drop it in your game's directory Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\Mods folder (if doesn't exist, create one).
4. Use Script Merger and merge to ONE MOD only for each bundle text. If any problem, don't hesitate to ask in the post section.
How to uninstall?
Delete the mod folder. Then launch Script Merger and remerge again.
Compatibility and Conflict
This mod is fully compatible to any Overhaul mod, like Ghost Mode. And any texture mod that changes XBM/W2ENT of the swords or scabbards.
Normaly we don't recommend to merge Bundle Text, but my mod is safer and easy to merge. You just have to select only the code line from Swap Appearance.
Knowing the risk, I recommend to merge to ONE MOD for each bundle text, like Ghost Mode.
Otherwise, uninstall Swap Appearance or use WolvenKit (if you know how to code XML). Don't set priority order, it won't resolve the problem.
Here is the list of all changed files.
