The Witcher 3 - BEST MODS For A NEW AMAZING EXPERIENCE

[@niktodt1]

Friendly HUD is a MUST HAVE. It hides the UI elements when out of combat, you can pause during dialogues and it's super customizable with a detailed in game menu. I'm surprised you didn't test it out cause you are really missing out.

[@MsCoochi]

Ugh I should’ve downloaded that. Would’ve saved me the trouble of closing the game or skipping thru dialogue to reload

[@antonioskoda9516]

E3 UI and HUD is a must for this game. The original HUD is bland and terrible.

[@taychuhan4470]

Does it work with absolute cam mod

[@agrlklarkemirenpanda660]

@@antonioskoda9516 I like that mod too but it`s not merge friendly.

[@mattiasandersson8693]

The Hood and cape mod is necessary of course

[@Kozlik00]

Best showcase of mods - I really love that you show the difference in the same scene so I can compare

[@plaiimade]

thanks :)

[@stc3145]

I would also recommend the NPC sword scabbard mod. It might not sound like much, but random soldiers look so much better with a scabbard rather than having their swords just floating on their bodies

[@shojin6945]

and add in the dirty NPC scabbards mod and it'll look and FEEL immersive

[@VSN-wb2ly]

In case someone watch this after the next gen patch there are many mods that incompatible with the newest patch, here's some of the example in this video. Hd project reworked: doesn't need anymore because they implemented this in the new patch Super turbo lighting mod: works but for DX11 version, i haven't tested for DX12 but it's likely glitchy Meadow: doesn't work anymore (all grass mods were broken due to the next gen update) Aqua: doesn't work anymore (there's alternative water mod for the next gen, if i remember it's enhanced water.) Atmospheric night: there's next gen version for this, so it works Autumn flora ench: never tried this Next gen candle: idk about this, better not to try it More shadow: it works Improved Sign: same as atmospheric night Autoloot: same as atmospheric night

[@vishnugopakumar8807]

this is a great video! I really appreciate how incredible the graphic mods comparison section was, I know how difficult it is to record the same area and relaunch the game with mods enabled every time, so thank you for such a good showcase. you covered almost every popular mod, except for the Capes and Hoods mod! it's fucking amazing, it completely changes how cool Geralt looks and is a very very well made mod. Pair this with the Auto Hide Weapons mod (so that your swords and crossbows don't clip through the cape when they're holstered on your back) and you have a very different way of looking at Geralt. Best part is that all the capes, cloaks and hoods are available to purchase in game, and can be equipped in game too, so no need to fiddle around with settings to make it work like in the other appearance mods.

[@plaiimade]

That sounds amazing, I‘ll try it!

[@MikadoJordan]

@@plaiimade im sorry i didn't see MAIN FILES, 😓

[@plaiimade]

no problem :)

[@tevildo9383]

You could use Auto Hide Weapons, but I would personally recommend "Swords on the Hip (aka Carry Your weapons as You Want)" (yes that's the full name of the mod). It lets you customize how Geralt wears his sword, be that both on the hip, both on one shoulder, X-form on the back like in TW1, one on the hip and one on the back, and aside from the presets you can alter all the position and rotation values yourself for a custom setup. And you can set it to automatically put your swords on Roach when you mount and dismount. It takes a bit of tinkering to find a good configuration, and minor clipping is unavoidable if you're wearing a cape. But IMO it's way more immersive to wear your sword on your side, regardless of whether or not you wear a cape. Also, I prefer having Geralt's swords on his side because it's physically impossible to unsheathe a longsword from your back IRL without a custom scabbard, and Geralt has full scabbards on his swords.

[@plaiimade]

@@tevildo9383 That sounds like an amazing mod aswell, where do you find these crazy mods?

[@aaoppe]

Photorealistic Reshade + HD Textures + White Orchard Lighting Everywhere are the only three visual mods I will ever need for this game. I honestly think it’s perfect, and you can’t top perfection!

[@pol528]

hello, ive a question regarding moids and reshade: those mods and reshade you have mentioned can be activated using only the reshade app or you have to download other apps to use them?? im new in this and I have no idea... Thk You !!

[@zacparker8681]

A lot of the mods that you couldn’t get to work are actually very simple to fix. Either by using a script merger or adjust your mods load priority.

[@liamronan4296]

How do you adjust the mod load priority again I haven't modded ina while is it renaming the mods?

[@liamronan4296]

@Sir Soma I don't think a manger is recommended for modding

[@argussigma]

Awesome mods! You did a really good job by showing to us the differences of every mod! Keep it the good work!

[@HEKVT]

I've got pretty much all of these mods, they really do make the experience on a second playthrough more immersive. I can't believe you forgot about the next gen hay bales mod, definitely a must have.

[@250kmonths]

glad you mentioned STLM, I have the 3.2 ALT (darker/foggy novigrad) it looks so natural and realistic in game, it's by far the most consistent lighting mod. It makes the game so much more enjoyable, i was honestly shocked by the difference and i tried other lighting mods. For even more immersion Friendly HUD is a must have mod, you can make entire hud only appear in combat, it's entirely customizable in the mods menu, running around without hud is really immersive and if i need to check quest objective or the minimap all i gotta do is hold J or M, you also have 3d markers by using witcher sense so you won't be needing minimap very often

[@itsRo_ger]

The grass trick was very helpful :)

[@leaderofthedeathstar3884]

I love my console, but man, PC and it's ability to mod games like this is exactly why PC is given the title "master race". I've played witcher 3 about 2 times on my ps, and playing it with mods is absolutely unreal, great video man

[@plaiimade]

thanks! It really is something amazing to push this great game even further :)

[@valneidesrezende4593]

The BEST thing about "Meadows" + "Autumn Flora Enhancement" + "Super Turbo Lightning Mod" is that this mods will tottaly transform the graphics, without having to mess with the complicated (and, sometimes, buggy) Reshade. You only have to add the mod to the proper folder inside the local files. Thanks for the recomendation, the game runs smooth and beautifull, I endorse these mods.

[@Nicolo-ue9xu]

[@Comissar_Carolus]

I think the auto-applay oil mod is very practical, you don't have to open your inventory each time you encounter an ennemy is automatically select the right oil.

[@Comissar_Carolus]

@D_ans I agree with you for a boss fight but when you encounter small monsters like drowners, or Nekkers, it get's annoying really fast to open your inventory each time !

[@Woupsme]

Very well made! Love that you included your preferred tweaks as well.

[@tevildo9383]

For Geralt's hair, I personally use "H2O - Heavy Hairworks Overhaul." It fixes the hair color and makes it look a lot denser and overall more like real hair IMO. I'd also suggest: All Quest Objectives On Map Friendly Hud (this is a must for me, and the first mod I downloaded for TW3, as I hate mini-maps in Open World games) Friendly Meditation Besserwisser Griffin Armour Retexture Witcher on the Path-Style (swords and scabbards only)+Griffin Armour (On The Path) Update Alternate Ciri Leather Boots - No High Heels All NPC Scabbards Swords on the Hip (aka Carry Your weapons as You Want) Accessory Slot Mod Hoods For lighting I use Wiedzmin Lighting Mod + True To Life Rework reshade setting. I'm not a huge fan of the vanilla Griffin set so I use "Griffin Armour Retexture Witcher on the Path-Style" (only extract the "modmcswordsnscabbards" file from the archive) and use the "Griffin Armour (On The Path) Update" for the armor retexture. The "Updated" armor doesn't require the original mod, but it also doesn't affect the swords/scabbards, which is why you should install the sword file (but not the armor file) from the "Griffin Armour Retexture Witcher on the Path-Style" archive. Sorry if that was a little ramble-y. Also if you're going to use the Feline armor, I recommend activating the "debug console" and giving yourself the invisible mask (I think it's the "Geralt robbery mask" or "witch hunter mask"), so you don't have to wear the stupid grandmaster hood. Unless, of course, you like the hood, in which case you should probably consult a doctor. And I would explicitly advise AGAINST using the "Critical Slow Motion Combat Mod" as it broke my game which appears to be a common occurrence, judging by the comments on that mod's Nexus page.

[@plaiimade]

Wow dude you really took some time to write that comment. And you suggested some amazing mods, thanks for that I‘ll try those!

[@Дмитрий_1981]

The coolest mod on the appearance of Geralt Gwynbleidd is Lore Friendly Geralt Retexture. I always use it. In this mod, the changes are made in moderation, tastefully and bring the image of the hero closer to the book look. At the same time, the mod is compatible with others, does not cause conflicts and bugs. And I think that mods like autoloot destroy the gameplay, deprive the game of the main thing - the player's interaction with the world.

I would definitely recommend checking out some other lighting and weather mods other than STLM. It is definitely the most popular lighting mod of all time but that is largely due to the fact that it was the ONLY one for quite a significant amount of time, because the author was one of the pioneers of Witcher 3 graphical modding. STLM is still solid today, but there are so many new breathtaking lighting mods out there, so treat yourself to finding something new and different!

That's really shit to hear, even more when because this problem hasn't happened to me. Unfortunately I don't really know how you could fix that, just make sure it is really the fault of editing the files(and no other mod incompabilities), and if that is really the case, then I'd leave the vanilla files intact cause that sounds like it sucks :/

Lighting Mod is essential, STLM for me is a bit old and it doesn't offer much features, for example if u install Wiedzmin Lighting Mod, u don't need other shadows, weather, or other lighting mods, bcus it's already in WLM, my other favorite lighting mod is Phoenix Lighting Mod, it's similar to WLM except it's sharper in contrast and has more fantasy feels to it, don't forget to install Mod Limit Fix and u need script merger in any case there is some conflict in ur mods

It is a simple Ink Transition, you can look it up on KZbin there are a lot of videos about it.

Some "Quality of Life/Gameplay" Mods that don't break the game .. Auto Apply Oils .. Fast Travel from Anywhere .. Indestructible Boats .. Jump in Shallow Water ..

[@shlomosuke]

It might be me, and I may be wrong, but I feel like some of the mods you showed (talking about graphics mods) were coupled with others during the showcase and thus those mods gave a different result than they should have. For instance the grass mod. It seems you're using the STLM mod. And duriing the STLM mod section in Novigrad during the night, it seems you're using the More shadows mod. Am I wrong?

[@plaiimade]

No you are absolutely correct, when showcasing I just uninstalled the mod I wanted to compare to and left all the others installed.

First of all, there are some problems between AQUA and HD Reworked Project. It might be incompatible or other say it does the same thing, so I'd recommend to leave AQUA away. The rest should work fine together, but you can always check for problems with a Script Merger. Performance-wise it did not change much, at least for me.

Increased draw distance from what I remember is a pain to install but if you do happen to have a good machine it is nice to have if you enjoy great views or are a screen archer. Also I do recommend that mod that removes the introduction and storybook loading screens. The reason is because you can load into your game much quicker if they are disabled and you don't need to hear the same narration every time you load into your game, especially when testing mods

Otherwise there is sometimes information on the nexusmod page, or there are a lot of turtorials on youtube... I hope you'll find help, if not you can always ask in the comments!!

@@plaiimade Oh well, for instance, I downloaded Geralt Hairworks (Geralt HW white Beard lessWhite-1.0-602-1-0.zip) mod, which doesn't have a read-me file, but in the description web page, it says, "- New optional file “GeraltHairWorks_realHair”: download contains 3 versions, check the readme inside for details."; thus, I'm confused. I now know that most of the time, all I need to do is copy a mod file to the "mods" folder or directory, but I have also see a few videos where someone uses a TW3 install manager together with TW3 script merger, and thus it gets me even more confused. Any help would be appreciated, and thank you for your previous reply. PS. If the game won't play after installing a MOD, do you just remove the MOD file, or uninstall TW3 game and then install it again?

[@plaiimade]

@@orestesdd I'll try to clear up some things: - First of all there are different ways how you can install mods. One is by doing everything manually, so speaking putting the files into your "mods" folder etc. Another way to install mods is by using the TW3 mod manager and script merger. These are just two different ways to install mods, choose the one that you prefer, both should work fine. - Now if you drop the mod folder that you downloaded (for example: "modGeraltHWwhiteBeard") into your "mods" folder in the TW3 directory, that should be everything you need to do for most mods. So if you only download a mod folder, as you do for Geralt Hairworks, the mod should work after putting it into the "mods" folder. - If your game does not work because of a mod, delete the mod folder you installed and the game should be back to normal. You can say reinstalling TW3 is never necessary, unless your game still doesn't work, even after uninstalling all the mods. And that doesn't happen often. Now this is not the case with Geralt Hairworks but for other mods you'll need to change some things in your "bin" folder. Before you do that make sure to save your vanilla "bin" folder somewhere, so you can always copy it back incase something doesn't work. And with that you should always be good to go!

Are all the graphics mods compatible between each other or do you have to chose ?

[@plaiimade]

There is one problem that I didn't check before doing this vid: AQUA water mod is incompatible with HD Reworked Project, so would just leave away AQUA. But all of the others are supposed to work fine together, so you don't have to choose :)

[@JackReap]

BTW According to the developer of STLM, the mod does not work with Toussaint. Yet you showcase it working in Toussaint, how?

[@plaiimade]

Good question honestly... It is true that there should be not support for Toussaint, however I still saw some changes with the mod installed. Maybe I used a older version by mistake, idk :/ But you are right there should be no changes to Toussaint

[@GranzDesign]

Are you 100% on that all ur mods will work together fine?

[@plaiimade]

They do for me, so I would say yes

[@danobrien3760]

Do you know if the next gen update (I have this on PC) will upgrade the graphics or do we still need the HD REWORKED mod

[@frac2750]

the only problem i have with all these mods is the infinite loading screen glitch that happens whenever i die. have a really nice pc, ultra settings on everything, i run the game on hdd (idk if that's the problem)? whoever has the same problem lmk how to fix it thx 👍🏻

[@plaiimade]

Check if you installed all the mods correctly, then you can also download & use a script merger to check for any problems between the mods. Last if nothing helps try describing your problem on google and if you're lucky someone else had the same problem and maybe a fix for it aswell. Now I've seen somewhere that infinite loading screens is something that can be fixed by the mod limit remover (you'll find it on nexusmods) but I'm not 100% sure. So I'd recommend to do the things above first and then try to install the mod limit remover

[@jimmystrudel]

I can't get the Meadows mod to work at all. When I install it everything is flat like it's the fairway on a golf course. Plus I get infinite loading screens at random.

[@plaiimade]

I had a similar problem once too, try things like Script Merger to check for compilations with other mods and maybe also install "Mod Limit fix" if you have many mods installed, infinite loading screens sounds like a problem that could be solved by doing that

[@tubalcain4103]

i'm realy interested in absolute camera mod. ¿Can i ask you why you did't like it?

[@plaiimade]

Was playing with the camera for some time and just didn't like it that much. I just prefer vanilla camera settings, but that totally depends on opinion!

[@Yumekeo]

For everyone seeing this. As an experienced w3 modder for a couple years. This is a video not made by a proper knowledgeable w3 modder. I would not recommend this video to anyone.

[@plaiimade]

Aw shit sry man :( I'd love to know whats wrong with my video, so I can improve for future ones...

[@Ningnomaningnong]

The only mod I am interested in is making Geralt look like Dettlaff, lol. I am having a really hard time finding one though and that is simple enough for a noob to install. Any ideas, Sensei Plaiimade?

[@plaiimade]

What do you mean you wanna make Geralt look like Dettlaff? 😂

[@plaiimade]
