Hello there, fellow Witcher / CDPR community folks.
I've attempted this a couple times on various social media channels now, alas without any kind of success... which is why I'm hoping this time will be different (after all, places like Twitter/X or Discord traffic is just running way too fast in general, and a single post easily gets buried there; I understand).
What I'm looking for is this mod for the Witcher 3, called "Holiday Season" (also formerly known as "Cold Season"): https://web.archive.org/web/20201221142301/https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1089/
The reason why I'm posting this as a wayback machine link is simple: in October of last year I've unfortunately lost pretty much ALL of my electronic devices in an unfortunate event that I'm not going to discuss here; the point is that with this, all the data that was stored on there has also been lost - including, among many many other things, lots of modding work that I've done and which I held very dear, just like the above (I'm the original author of the mod in question).
On top of that, in early 2021 I've also parted ways with Nexus and had requested that all of my files be deleted from their servers (which is why that original page doesn't exist anymore). As far as I'm aware, this happened before they introduced mod collections (which nowadays prevents files that belong to a collection to be permanently deleted, and won't ever be removed, not even by request of the author); meaning that my files are *REALLY* gone and irrecoverable.
Alas, I know that (back when it was still available) the mod had been downloaded plenty of times, meaning that there's a high possibility it's still out there somewhere, on someone's machine. If you - the person who's reading this - happens to fall into that category, or happens to know someone (who might know someone, etc.) then I'd be incredibly happy if you could get in touch.
Any help in recovering my old work would be much appreciated. Especially now that the official RedKit is on the horizon, this has motivated me to maybe revisit some of it, bringing it up to date and/or making it even better.
Cheers~
