The modder reveals some of his secrets
The creation of the mod was made possible by the release of REDkit modeling systems for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on May 21. These tools available for free to all users (PC) who own the game on Steam, GOG or Epic Games Store, allow users to create new quests, new characters and even entire scenarios (which can be useful for RP) . To share their REDkit creations, players can access a beta version of the Steam Workshop.
As the mod author states, this one is not yet finalized, and users can sometimes encounter bugs and other glitches in the game. In the coming weeks, he plans to work on its creation so that it is fully operational, as if it had been created by CD Projekt RED themselves. Currently, the mod has already been downloaded more than 200 times!
