A Witcher 3 mod archive shouldn't need rearranging before the manager understands it. The remade Mod Organizer 2 plugin recognizes common mod and DLC folders, unwraps nested packages and writes mods.settings from the order chosen in MO2. Both DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 launch paths are supported. It also spots bundled configuration files, but alerts players to merge those themselves rather than silently combining them.

UPDATE | OCTOBER 13, 2026

The plugin has since gained an experimental option to merge bundled settings automatically before launch. Manual merging remains the default, and the optional feature backs up settings and records changes so they can be rolled back. Players should check the current instructions before enabling it.
