Welcome to Project Crimson - The Witcher Trilogy and Cyberpunk Mod Guides
Project Crimson is a compilation of five mod guides for each main entry from CD Projekt Red, including:
The Witcher
The Witcher 2
The Witcher 3
Cyberpunk 2077
The general focus is to provide a more consistent and smooth experience while retaining the core of the games. The guides also try to respect the games as individual works and play to their strengths
Disclaimers
Disclaimers
The guides are all manually installed, I generally do not support mod managers unless a game greatly benefits from its usage. Witcher 1 and Witcher 2 could benefit from it but they combined have significantly less mods than Witcher 3 so I deem it not truly necessary. I will be providing instructions when required however so do not worry if you are a newcomer to modding
The quality of the modding experience is not consistent. Witcher 3 has a sizable communtiy to back it so it has a large number of mods for use and much more flexability with how I made the guide. Witcher 1 is reasonable but still small and Witcher 2 is even smaller
