@@Tigherr I am happy for you. Mods for the Witcher 3 are a wonderful thing, I recommend you dive in; most are thankfully one-step installations unlike SCAAR, so go for it:)

Excellent tutorial, clearly explained step by step, all worked without any problems👍

[@nikolabankov8187]

Great to hear!

[@iuarisegor5613]

thank you man, your explanation was very understandable and clear

[@CreatorForLife]

6:17 I greatly agree with this. I only used the folder merge thing a few times out of necessity, but it's just nice to do it yourself and know what changes. Btw. your tutorial is right on time, I just started playing yesterday again after a year which was before the next gen update, and finally wanted to spice it up with some mods. Thank you for the tutorial! It worked. Only weird thing for me is under options where the "mod" tab should be, it's dark as in no font color, just a blank space. But it works.

[@nikolabankov8187]

I am happy you found it helpful. 👌 As for the blank tab, I have seen it before on other people's videos (different mods too) and I don't know yet know what causes this.

[@giomama3794]

Thank u bwatha. Took all the options and it was worth it.

[@nikolabankov8187]

Awesome! Have fun!

[@cruxmalik]

Thanks for the help. My issue was finding the documents folder. I'm on the deck so it was in my .local file. Also thanks for showing the combat. I liked your settings, so I'll stick with those :)

[@nikolabankov8187]

Oh shoot! Glad you found it and you get to enjoy this superb mod!

[@dior1596]

@14:08 there are no files under my documents folder. Any suggestions?

Hey, i have next 4.04 and there isn't any "input.settings" in my the witcher 3 folder. Any help with that?

[@nikolabankov8187]

No way, there's got to be a file 'Input', as seen here. Make sure you're in the right folder and look closely.

[@kozuregvi]

@@nikolabankov8187 I verified again and again. The only "input" archives that i've found are: "input_azerty", "input_qwerty", "input_qwertz". I've found those in D:\Steam\steamapps\common\The Witcher 3\bin\config 4game\legacy\base. But in "The Witcher 3" folder there is no input archive.

[@SirJackibis]

@@nikolabankov8187 I think he is looking for the input folder in the wrong place. You have to go to documents then find witcher 3 and you'll see the input folder.

Is there a way to remove an animation? I often have the slow jumping pirhoutte dodge occur when long dodging. Its very slow and awkward and my only issue with the mod.

Removing a said animation is currently impossible. You can, however, change the long dodge preset: 20:29

Thanks. I have two questions. 1. What Lighting mod are you using? 2. What is modShouldBeNude?

[@nikolabankov8187]

Hi, 1. Not using any lighting mod; this is all next-gen graphics set to max. 2. ShouldBeNude is a mod that takes several npc's clothing off in situations, when it makes more sense for them to be nude in those instances.

It has reverted back to the vanilla jump where he lurches a little forward and lands a bit ahead from the spot he was standingm whereas when I installed scaar as standalone geralt jumped on the spot and lands one the same spot where he stood. It just looks so much cooler. How to get that one specific jump out of so much code??

Hi, just so you know, I am not the original creator of this mod and what you are asking about is a specific matter of animation. I don't know how to help you but there is hope. The original author has said he plans to update it in the future, we're all waiting for that!

Hello, I need help with SCAAR I downloaded it according to the video, but I have a remote camera and I can't switch it do you know how to fix it?

[@nikolabankov8187]

Hi, SCAAR doesn't allow other camera views to work as far as I know... even the next-gen close cam won't work. I am sure discussions about it have been had on the SCAAR mod page and it's worth reading through them. A quicker way to find solutions is to use the Ctrl+F find function when in 'Posts' and use the key word 'camera' to see who else has touched on the subject. There might be a fix waiting for you there, give it a try.)

[@zdendalebduska3628]

@@nikolabankov8187 Yes I read the discussions and they said you have to download the patch for 4.04 and I did and it's still the same

[@nikolabankov8187]

@@zdendalebduska3628 But the patch is just to make the mod work on Next Gen (as shown in my video as well). The camera seems to be blocked by SCAAR's files. I actually don't use SCAAR myself because it also locks walking/running to determined animations, which I hate. And because I don't use it, I don't have a clue as to how to solve the camera issue. The creator of the mod is silent and unresponsive, so we're on our own for the time being.

Next-Gen (as seen in the video 17:54) ← Mostly what makes it look this good. Graphics: Ultra+ (Max) ← Mostly what makes it look this good. Gamma: Where the Wolf medallion is barely visible. RTX: OFF (I repeat, OFF) HUD: OFF (it was off during the recording of this video, which tends to enhance the whole looks, let's be honest).
