Mods the witcher 3 1.31 in Russian. Expansion of the game universe

  • 01.12.2021

2018 Updates! Gameplay and graphical innovations, as well as utilities to improve the game.

The Witcher 3 is a great game that contains a subset of equally good minigames. Gwent is a card game that Geralt plays throughout the story. In truth, it is not unusual here for a player to choose a Gwent party instead of a bloody battle. Now you can do both! This mod replaces all battles in batches in Gwent. You will earn the same experience and loot as in the actual battle.

This mod seems to have left no stone unturned. Fights, obstacles, economics, alchemy, skills, weapons, armor and much more have all changed in order to make the game more difficult. It is in beta testing, so if you are interested, you can help, test it.

Hunter's Config is an excellent utility for adjusting game settings, and those to which you do not have access from the game menu. There is even a utility to return your previous configuration, and a button to install or uninstall SweetFX.

Torches are the unsung heroes of The Witcher 3, allowing Geralt to travel to the darkest corners of his world and are a great alternative to the Cat's elixir, which, although it makes it possible to see in the dark, at the same time paints everything in gray tones. In the same fashion, the torch becomes a faithful companion of the hero. Now Geralt can use spells, ride a horse, climb rocks and block enemy strikes, constantly holding a burning torch in his hands.

About 2 years have passed since The Witcher 3 was released, and during this time some modders abandoned their creations, which is why new fan add-ons and official patches often conflict with old mods. The Script Merger mod is designed to remedy this situation. The principle of its operation is simple: the mod creates combined versions of similar text files, thus extending the lifespan of mods that were outdated even months ago. And do not be intimidated by screenshots with confusing menus - figuring out this mod will be much easier than it seems.

If it seems to you that the world around you is too calm, kind, here is a mod that will help you to cheer up. It will increase the chances of meeting a crowd of monsters, winged monsters, or simple robbers. The mod contains settings, so be sure you can choose the balance of random encounters with opponents you need.

Utilities

Debug Console Enabler

Download

If you are not going to be limited to installing only one mod, the divine powers of the debug console will come in handy. This utility gives you access to this console, allowing you to enter commands to change settings, spawn enemies, fix bugs and more.

Nexus Mod Manager

Download

All Witcher mods are tied to Nexus and Nexus Mod Manager is the best way to get rid of various bugs caused by incompatible mods. When installing new mods, be sure to pay attention to warnings about possible problems, including problems with loading saves. With the NMM, even mods that are basically incompatible with each other can work perfectly if they are installed in the correct order.

If you install several mods at once, then follow our instructions: do not rush, do everything carefully and be sure to pray.

Mod merger

Download

Did you know that the game has a limit on mods? This turned out to be news to us. If you exceed the allowed limit, then Mod Merger can come to the rescue. The whole process will take about 15 minutes, during which all compatible mods will be merged into one package. Too many mods, you say? No, no, I install only one (albeit indecent size) mod.

But be careful. Combine only those mods that work without problems with each other, otherwise you will have to repeat everything over and over again.

Menu and travel

Mods that simplify travel and interface, and finally shut up Buttercup.

Download

In the world of Geralt, by default, there are dozens of control points for fast movement, but sometimes you have to cross several kilometers on a roach to get to the nearest one. If you are tired of such a routine, then this mod will allow you to teleport to any checkpoint - something similar was in Skyrim. The main thing is not to abuse this opportunity, since too frequent teleportations lead to problems with several quests.

Download

Of course, it's great that the map isn't packed with a bunch of icons, like in some Ubisoft game, but at times you can regret it, especially if you can't remember where the healer is. This mod adds all possible icons to the map - from the nearest merchants to quest points, information about which is taken from your quest journal. If you think this is overkill, you can always hide unnecessary icons.

Download

The chest with your things can be found at several points on the map, but the creators of this mod asked themselves the question: "Why not add more chests?" After installing the mod, 8 new points with chests will appear in the game, and 2 standard ones will be transferred to more convenient places. This is very convenient, especially if you have a mod for general realism installed, which takes into account the weight of the coins that Geralt keeps with him.

Download

One of the best things about the Witcher is that you need to prepare thoroughly before each major contract. We create oil from ghosts, stock up on moon dust, meditate and, of course, sharpen a silver sword.

In this fashion, meditation becomes a more meaningful process. During meditation, you spend experience points on pumping skills, replenishing supplies of alchemical items and oils, and also repairing the necessary things. By default, this mod is not allowed to eat or drink during the battle, so make sure you are fully prepared for a midday encounter.

Friendly meditation

Download

If you think the Preparations Mod complicates the game rather, then you should check out Friendly Meditation. In this mod, the supply of potions is still replenished during meditation, but you do not need to look at the boring menu. On the contrary, the entire interface temporarily disappears, and all you have to do is watch the clouds slowly floating across the sky, the shining stars and the sun rising from behind the mountains.

Sometimes the witcher just needs to be alone with himself, doesn't he? And don't forget to install the Unification patch for this mod.

Download

The user interface in The Witcher 3 looks pretty tricky, but disabling some features will make the game even more difficult. This mod has several applications available from different downloads that solve interface problems. Hold the down button to meditate instead of visiting the menu, or hide the quest marker if you are not using the Witcher senses, plus some HUD elements that can be turned on and off by pressing any button instead of bringing up the menu, and much more.

Lamp on Player's Boat

Download

Is this mod important? No. But it does add a lantern to your boat, and it looks good. A rather atmospheric detail, admittedly.

Download

Some of us (let's not point our fingers) would love to shove the overly chatty Dandelion into an industrial meat grinder. But, since nothing like this has yet been invented in the Kingdoms of the North, it remains to be content with this mod, which turns off the video from Dandelion's diary.

Download

Oh my god, finally. Jumping aground.

Combat mods

Make the fights harder, easier, or more importantly more spectacular.

Critical Slow Motion Combat Mod

Download

If it seemed to you that the battles in The Witcher 3 lacked cinematography, then you should definitely install this mod. It slows down time at the moments when Geralt delivers critical hits, allowing you to see in every detail how the hero gracefully removes the head from the shoulders of another bandit. Isn't that enough? Then at your service is the More Blood mod from modder KNGR, which increases the amount of blood in the game.

Download

One of the best RPG elements in The Witcher 3 is undoubtedly the set of oils applied to the blade before a fight. But even the biggest fans of the genre admit that over time, the search for the right substance in Geralt's inventory and its use becomes too monotonous. And the Auto Apply Oils mod can fix this. As soon as an enemy appears in front of you, to kill which you need to use a specific type of oil, it will automatically be applied to the blade, and therefore you can immediately start the battle without any preparations.

AutoLoot

Download

Tired of digging through the inventory of defeated opponents after every battle? This mod will allow you to automatically collect everything that can be found in the area - both after fighting with monsters in the swamps, and in numerous lockers in the houses of Oxenfurt. But the main feature of the Auto Loot mod is that Geralt cannot automatically pick up valuable items that may cause problems. It is also convenient that the mod allows you to select in advance which game items you need to pick up and which ones not to touch.

FCR3

Download

Looking for mods officially approved by the creators of the game? How about FCR3, developed by Chief Gameplay Designer at CD Projekt Red. This includes many improvements, nerfs and buffs that make the fantasy world more dangerous and balanced. If you need a mod that makes subtle but significant changes, then this is your option. There are no graphic additions here, so the screenshot shows a regular photo of Geralt. Simple and humble.

Enemies of Rivia

Download

This mod changes the combat system and the behavior of enemies so much that it should be placed in the section of mods that completely change the game itself. Enemies here are smarter, faster and don't hesitate to block attacks. And therefore, during each fight, they behave rather unexpectedly - the repetition of the same techniques remains in the past. If you are a student of the Bear School and are looking for a worthy test, then you will receive it.

E3DodgeSystem

Download

Longtime fans of the Witcher series will remember the game's golden era. Then wine was sweeter, swords sharper, and ghouls more stupid. They call this era E3 2014. There are several E3 2014 mods that bring The Witcher 3 closer to the demo that is still alive in the players' memories.

We're certainly not overusing nostalgia, but the E3 evasion system was just great. Geralt had not yet learned acrobatic tricks, he stood firmly on the ground with two feet and aimed his sword straight ahead. This mod is suitable for anyone who wants to bring this system back into the game, getting rid of all the window dressing in the style of Cirque du Soleil.

In addition, if during the battle you have a free second, Geralt will stretch his arms and swing his sword impressively. It looks very menacing!

Equipment and trade

Mods designed to lighten your load, rebalance your loot and give your gear a chic look.

Over 9000 - Weight limit mod

Download

Geralt already carries a lot of things in his bag, not counting two heavy swords behind his back, but if you are one of those who simply cannot get past the new sword from the witch hunter collection, then you need this mod. So what is the final weight limit? Yes, you guessed it. More than 9000. From now on you do not have to worry about the fact that captured weapons, which can be useful in very rare cases, take up too much space in your inventory. Just take it with you and don't bother with such trifles.

Download

The game could be called the Wild Hunt, but hunting creatures and monsters is not the best way to make a living. If you are tired of killing a bunch of deer, you will get only a little meat, then this mod increases the chance that animals will leave behind a supply of meat or some ingredients.

Download

It's a little offensive when you bring a lot of unnecessary junk to the city to sell, and the local merchants are so poor that they can't afford to buy it all at once. This mod makes merchants more prosperous, so they are willing to pay more for each item. Unfortunately, the patch conflicts with version 1.31, but you have two choices: install an unofficial patch or an unofficial version of the mod authored by another creator.

Download

In the game, we travel either for the sake of finding a job or for the sake of fun - combining both is quite difficult, isn't it? If your Geralt doesn't mind playing Gwent from time to time, but doesn't want to jump around the neighborhood in search of new cards, the The Gwent Dealer mod will save him a lot of energy. This mod turns Quartermaster Baron into a real card collector. Now you can buy from him not only ordinary things, but also almost any card.

Download

As with the Gwent Dealer, this mod turns the humble tavern owner into one of the most prominent merchants in the game. Now the owner of Dandelion's tavern sells almost all potions, oils, bombs, runes, mutagens and arrows. Out of balance? Perhaps. But it’s pretty damn convenient.

Download

Ugly equipment. It's sad, but it can happen even with the best witchers, no matter how they try to look stylish. If a new sword, over which you pored for several hours, will not have the most beautiful scabbard that does not fit into your color scheme in any way, then just download Black Scabbards to solve the problem. We believe black is perfect for everything, including the scabbard.

Download

On the one hand, this is a minor cosmetic change that does not affect the gameplay in any way. On the other hand, this is almost the best of all the created mods. If in single-player RPGs you are most worried about the appearance of the hero, then you should not pass by this mod. Geralt looks incredibly cool in his new robe. Moreover, there are keys for raising or lowering the hood. But it already depends on your mood.

Download

There are quite a few gear mods out there, but our favorite is the Sezon Burz. Based on The Season of Thunderstorms by Andrzej Sapkowski, this outfit fits perfectly into the Witcher universe while still looking surprisingly fresh. Moreover, new things are distributed by levels, so you can pump your hero and switch to a new set of equipment.

Download

Depending on your playing style, some elements of the daily routine of the witcher can become unbearable - especially after a couple of hundred hours in the game. If you are tired of spending money and time on repairing equipment, then the Indestructible Items mod will come in handy, thanks to which weapons no longer wear out. An extremely useful little thing.

Changes to graphics and game camera

Photo mode, redesigned textures, interface changes and more.

Absolute Camera

Download

Are you unhappy with the way the camera behaves while you run, fight, ride a horse or swim? Absolute Camera not only changes the distance and angle of view, but also provides dozens of fully customizable options for positioning the camera during various Geralt activities. In the video above, you can see how flexible the camera setup becomes.

Download

If you want to diversify the weather conditions in Novigrad and its surroundings, then this recently released mod will help you. It greatly improves the fog and rain animations, and also adds a lot more snow falling on the Skellige Islands. In this case, you can always disable certain innovations using the console commands specified on the page with the description of the mod.

Download

Want to capture some unforgettable action shots of Geralt? This mod will allow you to freeze time, then move the camera in three dimensions to take great pictures. There is also a switch that allows you to make Geralt invisible (useful if you are taking pictures of the environment and nature), and an option thanks to which you can fill in fog, or a slight haze to give the pictures even more atmosphere.

HD Reworked

Download

If you are in pursuit of prettier, sharper, more detailed models and textures, please your eyes with this mod. Rocks, trees, roofs, floors - everything went through, improved resolution, brightness, and, apparently, this is just the beginning.

Download

Are you craving to see the game in a brighter, richer light? The mod removes the bluish tint from the game, and adds some light adjustments to give the game a truly fabulous look.

Download

The kingdoms of the North, especially Velen and Novigrad, are rather dirty places, full of clay and dust, and therefore it is almost impossible to take decent screenshots in these areas. But now you can wipe your game camera like a professional photographer. Mod No Dirty Lenses removes drops of water and dirt from the screen, but when diving or in the rain, these drops reappear.

More blood

Download

The Witcher 3 is good. Even gorgeous. But what if the game was more like Tarantino's films? The More Blood mod adds literally liters of blood to the game. Now Geralt is constantly getting dirty during battles, his swords are always splattered with fresh blood, and from demons it naturally pours in buckets. Are you ready for a bloody adventure?

Download

If you have a powerful graphics card, why not use its capabilities to the maximum by increasing the draw range? The open world in The Witcher is impressive in scale, but it looks many times more impressive with a drawing several kilometers ahead. The mod has many settings where you can set a specific drawing distance. But be careful - the performance of the game may drop if you set all settings to maximum and send to Novigrad (but this depends on the capabilities of your PC).

Download

The mod falls into the same category "not for everyone." More Shadows adds dynamic shadows to all lights in the game. Torches on the walls now cast shadows directly below them, and huge braziers in cities will become the source of all kinds of shadows on the cobbled streets. Guardians walking with torches will also get dynamic shadows. And if you have problems with display, then there is an alternative version of the mod that removes some of the shadows.

Vampires have no shadows

Download

It's almost like More Shadows, but with a few differences. With major differences, to be honest. NPC vampires, as befits these creatures, no longer cast shadows, even when walking in the sun! Creepy, but effective.

Game-changing mods

These mods make large-scale changes to the combat, alchemical and other systems of The Witcher 3.

Download

Are you missing a variety of weapons and armor? This mod makes other characters' equipment available, such as Imlerich's great mace and a few others. Geralt can get it through merchants or make it himself. New blueprints in stores will allow you to get even more weapons, and do not forget about the upgrade of relics.

The Witcher 3 Enhanced Edition

Download

We recently wrote about this mod: it's a complete reimagining of The Witcher's combat system. The main innovation is the removal of auto-aiming. Now Geralt no longer jumps from one enemy to another like a pinball, but hits only where you direct him. This means that you can prepare a blow and sharply go behind the enemy's back or break through his shield.

This is a major change, but it is far from the only one in TW3EE. It also adds new animations, new parrying methods, as well as new types of preparation for strikes at a distance. Each attack can affect your hero - there is a possibility that Geralt will get out of the next brawl with a broken arm or leg. These effects are directly reflected in the leveling, alchemy system and equipment of the hero.

If you've been through New Game + a few times already and have seen everything The Witcher 3 has to offer, then this improved version will be a great reason to re-install the game. It is advised to put the mod on a "clean" version of the game, after which you can safely install additional modifications.

Download

Ghost Mode is just as ambitious as the Enhanced Edition, but the changes are more subtle. He does not abandon the foundations of the original, but only polishes all the little things that required edits. For example, you can no longer find expensive plates on the shelves of a poor man, all the ingredients have weight (but you need fewer ingredients for alchemy), and simple equipment has become more powerful and useful. Typos in item descriptions have also been corrected, enemies have received new bonuses to armor and stamina limits, etc.

If you think that The Witcher 3 needs a complete overhaul of all systems, then the Enhanced Edition is waiting for you. If you think that the game just needs to be polished and balanced (which the modders have been doing for two years), then feel free to install Ghost Mode.

And, of course, put the mod on a "clean" version of the game, and only after that add the rest of the mods to your liking.

The Witcher 3 was released a long time ago, but this does not prevent the game from being in the top. At the moment, the adventure of the witcher keeps more than 15 thousand players at the monitors, and so it was yesterday and so it will be tomorrow and many more weeks and months. This interest is due to the really competent approach of the developers who created an excellent example of an RPG. Like any self-respecting RPG, The Witcher 3 had to acquire mods sooner or later. Below I have collected a number of great, useful and simply interesting mods that you may be interested in trying out.

It should be clear from the name alone that we have a mod that makes our bag almost bottomless. There are two ways to install.
1a. Download the mod via NMM (NexusMods Client) and just click to activate.
1b. Download it manually, unpack "modOver9000" into the main witcher 3 directory with mods. (example D: \ TheWitcher3 \ mods)

If there are any compatibility issues, then use the OverEncumbered mod that comes with this mod.

2.The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project

A mod that brings beauty. A huge number of things have been redesigned thanks to the maximum detail. Stones, trees, toadstools, logs, boxes, puddles, bags, round and square stools, books, ceramic roof tiles, checkered floors, etc. This is a really huge job. All this requires a good video card, but the modification itself does not load it too much (if there is something like a Radeon HD7970 3GB). No FPS drops, no freezes.

To install, download the archive and unpack« modHDReworkedProject "to the" Witcher 3 / mods "folder. If there is no mods folder, then create it.

3.E3FX

Global reshaid. Thanks to this, the mod in the game changes the work of light sources, highlights, shadows and contrast in general. The developer of the mod tried to make the picture the way it looked on the first trailers of The Witcher 3. Did it work out, it's up to you. There are a number of alternative reshade modes in the download section. The installation is the same as the previous mods.

4. Fast Travel from Anywhere

If the game is completed, the legs turned into crumpled cakes, and something here and there is not open, then it's time to use fast movement. For this, the mod was created. As they used to say: "Time is money," so we do not waste time, but we earn money.

The installation is the same as in the first mods. Below there are two more mods that this one definitely matches.

5.Galloping In Cities

The ability to gallop in cities. A trifle, but nice.

6.AutoLoot - AutoLoot the items you want

Now there is no need to be distracted by trifles. Customize the auto-selection of loot for yourself and enjoy the game and collecting rare materials. The developer has been working for a long time and improving the mod. During theft, the autoloot does not work, so there will be no misunderstandings. A large number of filters. Customize the weight and quantity of items, as well as ingredients from herbs and food to weapons and armor.

Will be set either through MNN or by hand. After installing the mod, launch the game and wait for the script to be fully loaded.

To set the autolot radius, do:
Documents> Witcher 3> input.settings.
are looking for and under it we add:
IK_U = (Action = AutoLootRadius)
the same under and ... You can also add under or .

You can change IK_U to any button you prefer. Example: IK_A, IK_LeftTrigger;
For the radius to work during combat, remove these lines:

If (thePlayer.IsInCombat ())
return;

In the modAutoLoot / Content / Scripts / Mod / AutoLootRadiusLoot.ws file.


How to customize:

To set up all filters, go to the file modAutoLoot \ Content \ Scripts \ mod \ AutoLoot \ AutoLootUserConfig.ws.

function AL_NotificationTime (): float
{
return 5000.0; // This number is in milliseconds
}

function AL_EnableNotificationColor (): bool
{
return true; // Set this to ‘false’ to disable notification colors
}

function AL_EnableNotificationQuantity (): bool
{
return true; // Set this to ‘false’ to disable notification item quantity display
}

function AL_EnableOnKillLoot (): bool
{
return true; // Set this to ‘false’ to disable on kill looting
}

function AL_EnableRadiusLoot (): bool
{
return true; // Set to ‘false’ to disable radius looting
}

function AL_RadiusLootMaxDistance (): float
{
return 15.0; // Set this to limit radius loot range
}

function AL_RadiusLootMaxContainersAtOnce (): int
{
return 5; // How many containers to be looted at once
}

function AL_LootSoundEnabled (): bool
{
return true; // Whether the game will play a sound or not.
}

7.All Quest Objectives On Map

All objects on the map. That is, there, in fact, everything that can be found in the game is displayed on the map. Moreover, all this is filtered and in a short time it is quickly determined what is what. The mod has several versions from lite to full. A number of options and compatibility with other mods depend on this.

Install as usual.

8.TradeMan and Card Dealer for Gwent

These are two different mods, but about the same theme. In the first case, we get a merchant. He is always with the money, he buys goods at a higher price and sells them cheaper, often replenishes stocks.

Installation:

1a. Via NMM
1b. Download and unpack "modTradeMan" into the The Witcher 3 directory (for example D: \ TheWitcher3 \ mods).
2a. Run "copy_bin.bat" located in the \ mods \ ModTradeMan folder.
2b. Move the folder from bin TheWitcher3 \ mods \ modTradeMan to the main directory of TheWitcher3.

In the second case, we get the seller of cards Gwent. He trades all the cards in the game. Look for him in the tavern at the Crossroads. Installation like previous mods.

We have collected excellent modifications with which you can: turn a roach into a unicorn, bring Geralt and Ciri to the canonical form, significantly improve the graphics, change the weather and much more.

Installation with Nexus Mod Manager

Most of the modifications are installed automatically using the manager. In other cases, each mod has an installation guide.

  1. Download and install the latest version Nexus Mod Manager .
  2. Launch NMM, it will scan for games and, as a result, select The Witcher 3 from the list.
  3. Follow the link of the mod, select the one you need and click the button Mod Manager Download.
  4. The program itself will download and install the mod (you need to log into your account the first time you start it).
  5. After the modification has been installed, you must select it and enable it by double-clicking, or by clicking the green checkmark.

Lore-friendly Witchers

More Blood + Critical Slow Motion Combat + Always Dismember

(More Blood + Time Slow on Critical Strikes + Meat Grinder)

Three mods that clearly demonstrate why Geralt was nicknamed "The Butcher of Blaviken".

First - MoreBlood, as the name suggests, dramatically increases the amount of blood in battle. Not only is now blood gushing from opponents in buckets, so Geralt is dynamically covered with it from head to toe. The color of blood changes depending on the types of enemies; red - in humans, black - in Golems, green - in Arachnids.

Critical Slow Motion Combat makes the fights look like Zach Snyder's "300" movie. Now, when you critically hit an enemy, time slows down, adding even more cinematic action to combat. Also Maybe install immediately with the previous mod.

Customization

After installing the mod, open the configuration file in any text editor located along the path: \ Witcher3 \ mods \ modKNGCritical_SlowMotion_Combat \ content \ scripts \ local \ KNGCSMCM.ws

Customize according to your preference and save the file.

And after installing the mod AlwaysDismember, each fatal blow will sever an opponent's limb.

Sezon Burz Witcher's Gear (Equipment from "Season of Thunderstorms")

Maud adds a new set of equipment to the game based on Andrzej Sapkowski's novel "Season of Thunderstorms". Includes a full set of light armor, 2 types of gloves, silver and steel swords, several crossbows, and 2 saddles, spurs and bags for Roach. You can buy equipment from the merchant Bran (the one we save from the griffin at the beginning of the game). After the first meeting, he can be found near the Wailing Bridge in the White Garden.

IMPORTANT: if the automatic installation did not work, on modification download page select item "MANUAL DOWNLOAD"... Extract the contents of the archive to any convenient location. Folder sezonburz copy to \ The Witcher3\ DLC\, and the folder modsezonburz- v \ The Witcher3\ mods\ .

Lamp on Player's boat

Small modification designed to make the atmosphere of the game even more tube. As the name suggests, the mod adds lights to boats, which can make the game easier if you're playing with mods that change lighting (like the Darker Nights mod). Lanterns on boats work according to the principle of city lighting - they do not burn during the day and shine at night, but they can be manually lit by Geralt.

Realistic Weather

Modification changes the weather system in the game making it more realistic. Added foggy weather to all regions of the game, changed rain and storm, and there will now be more snow on the Skellige Islands.

IMPORTANT: for the modification to work, the installed DLC "Blood and Wine" is required.

Installation

Improved Sign effects

Small Maud, significantly increasing the intensity of the effects when using the witcher signs Aard and Igni. Works both on regular signs and on their reinforced versions.

Installation

Improved Particle Systems

Maud increases the number of particles for special effects. Adds the effect of collision of particles with Geralt and enemies, and most of the particles now react to the wind. The effects of all witcher signs, fire, smoke, fog, effects from explosions of bombs, blood, etc. have been changed. Pairs perfectly with mod Improved Sign Effects.

Installation

The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project

The global modification that improves the graphics of the game. Reflections for bodies of water now work in real time. Most of the textures (stones, walls, wood, rocks, etc.) are presented in high quality, while retaining the original style. Reworked small items (anchors, fishing nets, bottles, scrolls, etc.), as well as animals. At the same time, due to excellent optimization, the modification practically does not reduce performance.

Installation

Beautiful Grass Mod (Improved Grass)

Another big graphic modification, but aimed at changing vegetation exclusively. Changes all the grass in the game to a much better one.

Installation

Download the modification from the link and unzip it to a folder \ The Witcher3\ mods\ .

If you want more grass on the map, open the file user. settings(Docs \ The Witcher3 \ user.settings) and set the value GrassDensity around 8000. If you experience performance problems, lower this parameter.

Super Turbo Lighting Mod + Atmospheric Nights

STLM changes the lighting in the game making it more similar to the version shown at E3 2014. Atmospheric Nights in turn, changes the night lighting, making it darker and more realistic. Changed the brightness of the lighting effects, the lighting changes depending on the region, the color of the fire is now more natural. It is recommended to use both of these mods for maximum effect.

    Mod is an add-on to the game, created using a special set of software tools. Often, the authors of the modifications are ordinary amateurs. They add new weapons or endow character special skills that are not provided in the original game. In this article, you will learn what mods exist and how they improve the gameplay. Learn more about the system requirements for the hardware for the game The Witcher 3.

    Rare modifications are released by the game developers. More often, add-ons are created by ordinary fans for the same fans. The greatest interest is aroused by large universes with a long history, therefore, the mods for the game "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt" are represented by a wide assortment.

    Some completely rework textures and models, improving the quality of the picture. Others add new (or forgotten old) features like the dynamic HUD medallion. Many mods created for the game The Witcher 3 simply fix existing bugs, as in the case of the lack of a scabbard for the NPC.

    All mods are divided into 5 categories:

    • mutators;
    • global mods;
    • expansion of the game universe;
    • official;
    • replayers.

    They are free and always come with installation instructions.

    The modification only partially changes the game. Due to the fact that the changes are minor, installing multiple mutator mods will not affect the performance of the game.

    Ever wanted to enchant gloves, leggings or boots but couldn't do it due to game restrictions? This opportunity became available thanks to a mutator from Flo5581 called "Enchant for all types of armor". It is enough to download the files and unpack the archive into the game folder (the Mods directory must be created).

    Setting similar modifiers requires a specific order.

    It's so hard to say goodbye to the exciting world where I spent dozens of hours. Therefore, when all the missions are completed, and the locations are explored, global mods come to the rescue. They completely change the game: they add unique quests, modify the map and allow you to travel with the new vehicle.

    In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, these mods are free DLCs. They add quests such as Fool's Gold and Witcher's Antiquities: Wolf School Equipment », gwent cards, as well as improved animation of finishing blows.

    Expansion of the game universe

    The mod is used to change the basic concept. For example, a character may have special skills, and items have unusual functions.

    In many games of a similar theme, in between battles, characters are capable of regenerating their own health. The developers of The Witcher 3 did not foresee this possibility, although it can be very useful when potions and food are out. Correct the misunderstanding allows the corresponding mod.

    With the advent of the Steam platform, add-ons have started coming out, created by the original development team. Valve pioneered the release of the official mod for the Half-Life game. Today, major developers are following suit with interesting DLCs.

    The first official mods were no different from mutators, but modern versions often expand the game universe.

    Such modifications are used to change textures, character models, or individual objects. They not only improve the quality of the graphics, but sometimes completely change the picture.

    Replayers are the most popular mods, as they add variety to the gameplay without disturbing the delicate balance of the gaming universe.

    The most frequently changed model in the game is the appearance of the main character. Some replayers make Geralt young by removing wrinkles and scars from his face. Others add musculature, because such an experienced witcher should have a well-developed relief.

    Hair physics doesn't always look realistic, so some fans are working on Hireworks on their own. And this applies not only to the main characters, but also to other inhabitants of the world.

    Another type of replayer is clothing changes. Only the texture of the equipment changes, but not its characteristics. For example, for the New Year holidays, characters are dressed up in a Santa fur coat and other themed costumes.

    Fans are also showing an interest in the gaming world. Replayers are used to change the weather: the rain becomes more realistic, and in winter locations the hero has steam from his mouth. The night becomes mysterious, and the texture of the water - glare of sunlight.

    For the game The Witcher 3, mods appear very often. Most of them have long-term support and are periodically updated. Add-ons are the best way to add variety to your game. They allow you to experience new sensations from the virtual world, and sometimes completely change the meaning of the game itself.
