If you need to contact us, this is the best place to do it.
We are getting a lot of the same questions, so we are posting this sticky to address some general housekeeping items and FAQs. Please take the time to read through this before you post.
Housekeeping:
FAQs:
Q: Is this version the same as BiA for classic gen (1.31/1.32)?
A: No. CDPR integrated some of BiA into next-gen version 4.0, which required us to test every file and every fix. In cases where CDPR integrated a fix, we removed it from BiA. This is a best practice not to have vanilla/unnecessary files in a mod. Additionally, CDPR changed how some of the files work, so we could not simply port over the old version. Each fix that was brought into the next-gen version of BiA was rebuilt from the ground up to ensure compatibility.
Q: Can I use the BiA from classic gen with next-gen?
A: We strongly advise against this. We kept the page for classic gen available for people who are still playing 1.31/1.32 to have access to BiA for that version. But we do not recommend anyone install it on the next-gen version. Doing so runs a high risk of breaking multiple aspects of the game and corrupting your save file.
Q: Does this work for all languages?
A: Yes. Most of our edits have nothing to do with the language files, so it will continue to work in all supported localizations. In a handful of cases we have had to add our own text to the mod. In these rare cases, we have worked with members of the community to translate the text into all localizations. When you unzip our mod, you will see .w3strings files for all languages.
Q: This mod conflicts with [enter name here] mod. What do I do?
A: If there is a compatibility patch available, then install it according to the instructions on the patch's page. If no compatibility patch exists, you can request one on our Discord page. The BiA authors make no promises for creating compatibility patches, but there are a lot of users in the BiA community and someone might be willing to make the patch. In the absence of a patch, our rule of thumb with conflicts is to give priority to the mod that matters more to you - but be wary if the conflicts are .w2phase or .w2scene files. We recommend giving BiA priority in those conflicts because it can break your game/save file.
Q: Can I install / upgrade this mod during a playthrough?
A: Yes. We recommend updating whenever we release a new version. Sometimes it addresses a defect in a previous version, but mostly it makes for a cleaner experience. Be aware that some fixes are not retroactive, meaning you'll need a save file from before that point, otherwise it will take effect on the next playthrough. We do not recommend uninstalling BiA during a playthrough. This mod changes a lot of the quests for the sake of fixing bugs and improving user experience, but if you remove it during a playthrough, some quests may get stuck as a result.
Q: How can I notify you if there are new bugs to fix?
A: If you want to report a bug, post it on our Discord. #bug-reports. However, be aware that we do not have any plans at the moment to continue adding new fixes to BiA. We consider this version to be final, and our mod team has moved on to other things.
Still, best you learn how to install manually as not all mods can be installed with a mod manager.
First things first - awesome job with the mod - really appreciate your job for the community.
Got a question: Have you ever heard of bug related to Skellige person in distress - Kvalheim Isle - Herbalist (south of Blandare village)
I'v killed all the bandits yet the NPC is constantly kneeling unable to interact no matter what i do.
Tried contacting CD PROJECT RED support but they were unable to help.
Kinda desperate because it is last mark on the map that i'm missing.
Cheers and keep up the awesome job you do <3
Thanks for the answer - yes i'v tried meditating and reloading old saves but nothing helps.
Been looking for .addfact to fix it throught console but could not find correct one.
Had no such problem on earlier playthrough.
Guess thats gg :(
I appreciate your interest.
What I can offer to you is to input this command in the console:
disableMapPin('sk29_mp')
If the marker is what's bothering you, this should Disable it as if completed. The herbalist will forever stay kneeling, though and won't be interactible.

you have two options turn the candle left or right, choosing turn left removes the main choice to step away. thus resulting in you being stuck at the candle stick.
I encourage to read (or re-read) Hendrick's note that is placed in the room. It tells you the exact order, if you can't figure it out for yourself.
Small question: does this mod affect loading screen times? Whenever I fight a boss and get them to low health, depending on the enemy there is a cutscene. In those cases -- I get (what feels like a) "long" loading screen in-between combat and cutscene where Geralt dies from continued active combat (off screen since its a loading screen). My controller vibrates from the combat offscreen as well. And the game is actually loading and showing the little icon in the bottom right corner. Any thoughts?
Thanks! : )
Now I just download only main file
link for the save file
In any case, doesn't really matter at the end of the day, I created you a hack-mod to force the game to accept just 1 crate marked.

Install as any other mod and make sure it has priority over BIA. Load the game, do the warehouse section, save the game, then remove the mod.
I tried to use this in 2025 but it happend that if I free "persons in distress", I am not able to talk to them ( Barber and merchant from Claywich). I need to disable this mod, start the game, talk to the people, then enable the mod again.
Is this an error on my side or a bug of the mod?
These are the mods I am using currently:
DLC Events
Boat Races
Bood and Steel
BiA
dlc\dlc2\data\quests\dlc2.w2phase
dlc\dlc2\data\quests\scenes\shop_brokvar_barber_01.w2scene
dlc\dlc2\data\quests\scenes\shop_glinsk_barber_01.w2scene

The fonts gets all wacky
Update: It was my problem, I had ONE, just one mod installed long ago and that was causing the wacky fonts.
I have to explain in case someone met the same issue.
