THIS MOD IS NOT NEXT GEN COMPATIBLE
This Mod is currently incompatible to the Next Gen version until Warmly Dressed Skelligers will be fully updated.
You can still use WDS and BIA together, but I won't make a patch when the former is not 100% Next Gen Compatible.
What's the purpose?
It was reported by many that Brothers In Arms and Warmly Dressed Skelligers cannot work together:
- If BiA set in higher priority, some Skelliger woman have red sleeves or some Skelliger won't wear clothes for cold place.
- If WDS set in higher priority, it removes few fix and restored content from the BiA, like the missing colour of Astrid from the quest "Calm Before the Storm" or a missing loot of a bandit.
So, with the permission of their respective creators, I made a compatibility patch so both of them will work at 100%.
A Ghost Mode version is also available. Which require BiA + GM and WDS + GM installed.
A special and complementary Skellige Winter Weather System is available in miscellaneous files. This modified a Brother-In-Arms script that allow Geralt weather comment with Skellige Winter Weather. It's completely optional.
Delete the BiA script "game\player\r4player.ws" when installing and DON'T MERGE engine\environments\weather_skellige.csv.
Installation
For newcomer/beginner: I invite you reading The Tome of Witcher 3 Modding
Main Files
0. THIS MOD REQUIRE Brothers In Arms AND Warmly Dressed Skelligers INSTALLED!!!
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].
2.1 Manual Install [Safer way]: Extract the files and Drop it in your game's directory Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\Mods folder (if doesn't exist, create one).
2.2. Mod Manager [Faster way]; Install with Witcher 3 Mod Manager. NOT VORTEX!!
3. Adjust the priority list witch Script Merger or with Witcher 3 Mod Manager by putting "Bia-WDS Compatibility Patch" in higher priority than BiA and WDS
Example: BiA-WDS = 20; Brother-In-Arms = 100; Warmly Dressed Skelligers = 70; Ghost Mode: 50
Miscelanous files
0. Reminder: This special patch is optionial! Use it if you want more weather comment for the Skellige Winter Weather System.
1. Download the miscelanous files and install in the same manner above.
2. Delete the script "game\player\r4player.ws" from Brothers In Arms, before using Script Merger.
3. Now you may merge the script with Script Merger.
How to uninstall?
Delete the following mod folder, if you have it or didn't rename it:
- mod0Bia_WDS_CompatibilityPatch
- mod00BiA_WDS_GM_CompatibilityPatch
- mod5BiA_SkelligeWinterWeather
Compatibility and Conflict
Obviously, it would conflict to Brother-In-Arms and Warmly Dressed Skelligers. I recommend to launch Script Merger to check if any mod besides these are in conflict. It's up to you to whether use the conflicted mod or this compatibility patch.
