About this mod Machine translation
The modified long-sight distance MOD changes the water surface effect back to the original version.
The original Extended View mode did a few things where it changed the reflectivity of the water and made it a lighter/whiter color. This can be seen best by tilting the camera down until screen space reflections stop. I changed the water back to vanilla.
Everything else is the same as in the original mode (pushing the world fog further away, increasing the range of the light, various adjustments to the translucency of the trees).
master file
The game's regular presentation is retained while giving you the benefit of extended viewing distance.
Install:
Download the mod, extract it.
Copy "modextendviewdistancenonao-vanillawater" or "modextendviewdistancenonao-vanillawater" (depending on the version you are using) into the "mods" folder in the witcher 3 directory, or install it using a mod manager such as nmm (mod manager) or witcher 3 mod manager. I prefer the latter.
uninstall:
Delete "modextendviewDistance" or "modextendviewDistance" or "modextendviewDistance" from the "mods" folder.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
