🎯 Tips & Tricks
Check the mod's file section to see which version matches your game version (e.g., 1.31 vs 1.30) — picking the wrong one could cause issues.
If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex, install it through that to keep track of files and easily uninstall if needed.
Test the mod early in a city like Novigrad to see if guard levels feel right for your character's level.
