(Next Gen Edition) Friendly Stash

This is a version of the Next Gen Edition mod that is compatible with the v.4.0 (NGE) version of the game. Classic Edition is still available here.

Maud makes managing the caches a little less painful: you can customize access to the caches as you want, and enable the use of ingredients from caches for alchemy and crafting. You can also use a cockroach as a hiding place.

By default, you can open the stash menu in view-only mode by pressing U or via the Hub menu. Items from the caches are also used for alchemy, crafting, can be dismantled and repaired by an alchemist or blacksmith/gunsmith.

There are separate settings to evaluate menus, shop, alchemy, and access to craft/dismantling: you can disable access to the stash entirely, allow full access, or make it available only in settlements or when you are close enough to the stash (the maximum distance is also configurable).

With the help of fashion Roach can be turned into a mobile stash: with a separate weight limit for the carried cargo depending on the equipped bags and access at a distance. Adjust the distance and press U to transfer items or access the stash directly from the store menu, alchemy, or crafting/dismantling when the cockroach is close enough.

A new synchronized mode for the hiding place has been introduced: if it is enabled, only items that belong to the currently opened player's inventory tab are displayed in the hiding place; if disabled, all items are displayed in the hiding place, as in vanilla.

The basic carrying weight limit is set by mode for both the player and the horse. The weight bonus of the bags can also be customized.

Installation instructions

We recommend that you use The Witcher 3 Mod Manager to install the mod. It will automatically set itself mod, menus, hotkeys and user settings (note some changes in Next Gen Edition). You still need to run Script Merger to resolve script conflicts with other mods, if you have one.

Starting with version 4.0 (Next Gen Edition), the game uses two additional menu files and one additional option file:

"[Path To The Witcher 3]\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\dx11filelist.txt"

"[The Witcher 3 path]\bin\config\r4game\user_config_matrix\pc\dx12filelist.txt"

"[Your Documents Path]\The Witcher 3\dx12user.settings"

The DX11 version still relies on the user.settings file for user settings. If you don't see the mods menu in the game, or you're having trouble setting up mods, be sure to read the readme guide to adding mods menus and options to these new files. Until TW3MM is updated to do this automatically, you'll have to do it manually! Don't forget this step!

You can delete mods using TW3 Mod Manager (until TW3MM is updated, you will need to manually clean up new txt files with the menu, everything else should be automatic).

Please refer to the readme file for manual installation/removal instructions.
