This is not a new mod it is an increase draw distance update made by sjbox

This isn't a new mod it's updated to increase draw distance, it's one of the greatest mods sjbox has ever made so kudos to him for not me. This new version works with the DLC Blood and Wine by increasing the lod and draw distance of Toussaint's many meshes and textures. I just managed this old mod and got him working on both DLCs. For HOS, posters and NPCs you have to use my mod: modAioNPCforIDD. Why? Because modIncreasedToussaintDrawDistance and modAioNPCforIDD are planned to work together. But it works if they are used alone.

This is the first version, for ModIncreasedToussaintDrawDistance, it is not one hundred percent stable, even though it has been more than 80 hours of work (tried and failed) to make this "stable" version, it is still not perfect and I don't know if it will be one day. However this new version is available in both Toussaint and Vanilla regions but in order to make this mod correctly in Toussaint I was forced to remove some of the meshes from the original mod. For vanilla areas modIncreasedDrawDistance_2_0_3 is actually the best, even though I don't think you can see any noticeable difference when you step into vanilla land. So if you don't want to replace the mod every time you enter Toussaint, you can keep ModIncreasedToussaintDrawDistance for all areas. But the best solution is to make two different IDDmods, one for Toussaint and keep modIncreasedDrawDistance_2_0_3 for Vanilla. therefore, Using this solution we can activate modIncreasedDrawDistance_2_0_3 and disable ModIncreasedToussaintDrawDistance when you enter Novigrad, Skellige, etc. Vice versa, when you are in Toussaint. But creating a completely new mod with bootstrap is now beyond my abilities in modding. So I'm hoping someone has this ability, I've contacted the original author of sjbox but he doesn't seem to be active anymore, I hope one day it will be active again.

This new version

Effect and purpose:

This version is designed to make modIDD work as it was intended in this original idea (Vanilla, DLC and NPCs)

Installation and uninstallation:

  • All installation and uninstallation procedures are exactly the same as the original mod. So check out: "
  • If you already have the original mod installed that you used to install this new version, you just need to delete modIncreasedDrawDistance_2_0_3 to your mod folder and replace it with ModIncreasedToussaintDrawDistance and that's it.
  • I tested this new version on the 1.32 Goty version of GOG galaxy. I cannot guarantee that this new version will work with older or non-Goty versions of the game. All my tests have been with a value of 10 for all settings of the mod.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
