When installing the modifications one might encounter several problems. There are two tools that might help you solve these issues - Unification patch and Script Merger. Sometimes, it is also useful to utilize the console available in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, however, you have to unlock it first.

Unification Patch

The standard edition and the Game of the Year edition of The Witcher 3 feature some differences in terms of certain details, which have led to some difficulties with modifications' compatibility. In order to solve these issues, one can use the Unification Patch. Below, you will find a short instruction on how to do this:

2. Copy the Mods and content folders to the game's main folder. Agree to replace all the applicable files.

Unification Patch is necessary when you want to play around with the modifications for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Without this patch, it is impossible to use certain modifications.

Script Merger

Script Merger offers substantial help in cases when some modifications are not compatible with each other. The tool searches for mods that are in conflict and tries to fix the problem. The manual you can find below will help you use the software.

1. Download the tool from the Nexus Mods Witcher 3 portal.

Script Merger is a useful tool to handle conflicts between modifications.
