Best Mods for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Armor, Weapons, Graphics Enhancement, Map Changes, Magic and Inventory

The Witcher 3 is one of the best RPGs of recent years. However, it was released 6 years ago, and its visuals have become somewhat outdated. You can improve the graphics with user-made modifications. Additionally, these mods allow you to customize the game to your liking, for example, by making the interface more convenient and making changes to the gameplay. We've gathered the best mods for the third Witcher in this article.

If you have installed all the tools, you will be able to not only launch mods using the manager but also resolve potential conflicts between them. To do this, run Script Manager and check the modifications for compatibility using the Refresh function. If they cannot work simultaneously, choose the mod that is more important to you.

If a mod is not installed through the manager, we will indicate this in the description.

The latest mod at the moment that uses ReShade technology. The author of the modification decided to make the game's visuals more realistic while preserving its artistic style.

Installation steps:

The No Levels modification makes opponents much smarter. They will flank you, counterattack effectively, and try to overwhelm you with numbers if possible. Additionally, your combat skills in the game have been changed, weapon and armor stats have been manually reworked, and the dependency of enemy strength on your level has been removed.

This set of modifications allows you to get closer to the appearance of Geralt from the books. The White Wolf From Rivia — Lore Geralt mod will change the face and hairstyle of the White Wolf according to the descriptions by Andrzej Sapkowski, and the Geralt Leather Headband Edited mod will allow you to put on the canonical headband to keep the hair from getting tousled by the wind. With the Book Inspired set Cos Wiecej — Standalone DLC mod, you can add new armor and weapons that match the book lore.

A set of three mods that will make Triss's appearance closer to the descriptions from Andrzej Sapkowski's novels. The first modification changes her hair color to chestnut, the second adds a scar on her chest and covers the neckline in her dress, and the third makes the sorceress's eyes blue. In addition, the textures of the skin on her face and body are improved.

Two modifications that change Yennefer's hairstyle and eyes to match the book lore. Several hair styling options are available.

The Lore Friendly Ciri modification contains everything needed to make Geralt's adopted daughter look like she does in the books. You can change her face, alter her hair color, and make the scar on her cheek more realistic.

Unfortunately, in the main game, you don't have the opportunity to build relationships with Fringilla Vigo and Margarita Laux-Antille. This mod partially corrects this shortcoming. It allows you to replace the appearance of the courtesans in the brothel so that they look like sorceresses.

This modification allows you to start a romance with the Duchess of Toussaint and her handmaiden from the Blood and Wine expansion. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to befriend the succubus Salma. Thanks to this mod, you can not only spend nights with your chosen beauty but also travel with them through the game world. Anna Henrietta and Vivienne will require your protection, while the succubus can take care of herself.

After your whistle, Roach does not appear immediately. If you don't want to wait for her every time, use this modification. It allows you to instantly mount your horse with a single press of the summon button.

In the original game, melee weapons and arrows leave a barely noticeable trail in the air. This mod removes that visual effect.

A separate point of the program is the detailed faces of the characters. Moreover, the modification improves both main characters and random NPCs.

Installation Instructions:

This modification is cosmetic, but it can enhance immersion in the game world. After installation, every action of Geralt, from eating to using oils, will have its own animation. If desired, they can be customized in the mod menu.

This mod is for those who do not want to bother with individual game settings but want to update the overall picture with one modification. The changes are truly impressive.

The main feature of The Enhancement System modification is the completely reworked characteristics of weapons. In addition, new samples of weapons and armor have been added to the game, and combat animations have been improved.

Installation Instructions:

This modification adds 26 armor sets to the game, as well as new weapons and unique monsters. New items work as additional content.

Installation Instructions:

This armor resembles the clothing of Dettlaff, the main villain of the Blood and Wine expansion, styled as Bear School armor. It can be purchased in Kaer Trolde, the largest port of the Skellige archipelago.

Installation Instructions:

If you prefer the armor style in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings over the third part, check out this modification. With it, almost all armor and clothing sets in Wild Hunt will be replaced with their counterparts from the second Witcher.

The starting armor in the third Witcher quickly became obsolete — almost any armor in the game had better characteristics. However, if you want to continue using the Kaer Morhen armor, install this mod. It will allow you to upgrade this armor set.

Installation Instructions:

This modification allows you to dress Geralt in Wild Hunt armor. You can choose between the armor of regular soldiers and the outfit of Eredin himself. The new armor sets will replace the existing ones from the Griffin and Bear schools. Note that only one type of new armor can be installed at a time.

With this mod, fights in the game will become truly brutal. The main change is related to blood. Its appearance will be more realistic, and every hit you make on an enemy will result in a bloody fountain.

A bulky interface is one of the main drawbacks of all parts of the Witcher series. But, thanks to this mod, it will become more convenient. For example, you will be able to place 3D markers on important objects and get quick access to oils, bombs, and poisons.

In the third Witcher, the fast travel system is quite peculiar — to travel, you need to get to a signpost. This is inconvenient and takes extra time. But with this mod, you will be able to fast travel from anywhere.

With this mod, the game world map will become much more convenient. For example, you will be able to activate several story quests at once and mark the locations of wandering merchants.

In the Blood and Wine expansion, Geralt gains access to mutations that significantly enhance his abilities. However, only one can be used at a time. This game limitation can be fixed with this mod.

In the Witcher trilogy games, Geralt's magical abilities are limited to five simple signs. However, after installing this mod, their number will increase several times. You will be able to summon golem allies, become invisible, throw fireballs at enemies, and much more.

Installation:

If you spend time playing Gwent, this mod is for you. After installing it, a merchant will appear in the game world who sells almost the entire deck. With it, you will be able to win the Gwent tournament and get the card collection achievement.

In the third Witcher game, Ciri is featured in only a few short gameplay episodes. If you want to play as her more often, install this mod. You will have the opportunity to switch from Geralt to his adopted daughter at any moment in the game.

If you prefer to carry everything you see from the battlefield, this mod will be useful to you. It increases the inventory size to 9,000 slots, making it practically unlimited. Recall that in the original game, with the best saddlebags, its capacity reached only 250 units of weight.

Before fighting monsters, it is recommended to coat your sword with the oil that is most effective against the foe. If you find this mechanic inconvenient, install this mod. With it, applying oil to your weapon will happen automatically.

This mod is suitable for those who do not like that Geralt's equipment breaks down over time and requires repair. After installing it, weapons and armor will always have 100% durability.

You can make loot collection easier with this mod. You will automatically pick up all trophies from killed monsters and bandits. If desired, you can configure the mod so that only specific loot goes into your inventory.

After completing monster hunting contracts, you will receive trophies in the form of severed heads. This mod significantly increases their effectiveness. Depending on the type of trophy, you can increase sword attacks, enhance sign effectiveness, boost health regeneration speed, or start gaining additional experience for killing monsters.

As in almost any RPG, weapons and armor in the third Witcher have certain level requirements for the hero. Sometimes this is annoying, especially when you find a great sword but know that you won't be able to use it in combat for a long time. This mod helps to bypass this restriction.

In the third Witcher game, the crossbow is almost useless in combat — the damage from bolts is much lower than from sword strikes or using signs. After installing this mod, the crossbow will become the best way to eliminate enemies from a distance. It significantly increases the damage dealt and improves the physics of bolt flight.

This mod adds shields to the game. With their help, you can block light attacks, deflect arrows, and reduce damage from particularly strong enemy attacks. Be prepared for the combat mechanics to change.
