Due to
essenthy's continued absence I have decided to share what could be pretty much called an unofficial patch for
STLM 3 (original STLM3 release is still required for the full experience! So make sure to download that or this won't work as intended and please be so kind to endorse the original mod as well)
Changes include the following
- Sunrises and sunsets in Velen are now more similar to vanilla
- Fixed the overexposed Igni sign in Velen
- Moon is back to its vanilla size in many areas
- Fixed where fog would completely overexpose the image (for example the Skellige lighthouse, meaning you can now play with bloom enabled at all times)
- Restored the look/fog of the Von Everec Estate
- Reverted Fyke Isle to previous STLM incarnation (pre 3.0)
- Lessened the overexposure caused by torches when exploring caves
- Fixed bloom issues in cutscenes
- Restored White Orchard winter to vanilla
- Included an edited version of
Pollens (which is free
for anyone to use), to add more weather variation and to fix the cloud layers and to get the weather cycle in Velen/Novigrad and White Orchard to work correctly (no more spamming the "changeweather(WT_Clear)" command in the debug console. And make sure to endorse this mod too!)
There are three versions included and they are all regarding White Orchard
First version is White Orchard just as Essenthy made it his latest release
Second version contains the look the area had in STLM 2
Third version restores White Orchard to vanilla env
How to apply the patch?
For this you will need the
Mod Merger by DJ Kovrik and the original STLM 3 mod as stated earlier
With Mod Merger you then merge STLM 3 with my file but giving priority to the patch, like in the example below.
lower position=higher priority
And hit merge, you will then get a folder called "mod0000_MergedPack", you can rename this to whatever you want (as long as the file name starts with "mod" and place it in your mods folder. That's it!
Hopefully with this you should all be able to enjoy Essenthy's tremendous work in a more polished state and should also give the man more time to relax and take his time with a potential update in the future.
You can find the patch
here
And since it was requested I also made a "lighter" version of this patch.
- Original STLM 3 Velen restored and all custom weathers not in the original mod have been turned off for Velen/Novigrad
