witcher-3 — Mods & Enhancements
This UI mod adds an oil indicator to the HUD, showing the oil applied to the currently held sword. It was made before patch 1.12, which introduced a built-in indicator, so it is no longer required. Despite being outdated, it retains a dedicated following with over 1,100 endorsements.

🎯 Tips & Tricks

Check your game version before installing; this mod was built for an older patch.
Since it's a simple UI mod, place the files in the appropriate mod folder and ensure no conflicts with other HUD mods.
