Install and stage many .w3mod and .zip mods for The Witcher 3 without touching the game folder
Keep separate mod profiles for Classic and Next-Gen Witcher 3 playthroughs
Open Script Merger from a single launcher to resolve mod script conflicts
Download link points to shawonline.co.za rather than GitHub Releases, and the README tells you to add the install folder to Windows Defender exclusions before running it.
This repository markets a Windows program called Limo Mod Manager, presented as a mod manager for The Witcher 3. The README says it works with both the Classic and Next-Gen versions of the game on Steam, Epic, or GOG, supports .w3mod packages, and offers a profile system and a launcher shortcut into Script Merger, the standard tool the modding community uses to resolve script conflicts. There is no GitHub release linked. The download button sends the reader to an external site, shawonline.co.za, rather than to any file on this repository. The instructions also tell the reader to add the install folder to Windows Defender exclusions before running it. Both of those signals are unusual for an open source project and worth flagging before downloading or running the installer. As described in the README, the workflow is built around a staging directory. You install Limo to a short path such as C:\Limo, let it auto-detect the Witcher 3 install, pick a staging folder outside the game such as C:\Limo\Witcher3, drag in .zip.7z, or .w3mod files or use Nexus's Mod Manager Download links, then press Deploy. Deploy is meant to create links from the game's Mods folder into the staging folder, so the install directory itself stays untouched. From there, profiles let you keep separate sets of mods for different playthroughs, and a built-in tagger sorts mods by category. The README claims an automatic Mod Limit Fix, so installing many mods will not trip the engine's mod count limits, and Nexus API integration for direct downloads, update checks, and changelogs. Script Merger is not bundled, but Limo's tools menu opens it for the user to handle script conflicts on its own. Stated requirements are 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, a copy of The Witcher 3, and around 500 MB for the program plus more for the mods themselves. No source code, build steps, license, or list of dependencies are described. A few items in the README also contain leftover [reference:NN] placeholders from whatever template the page was generated from.
