Hey everyone,

I finished The Witcher 3 years ago and absolutely loved it. I'm planning to start a new playthrough on Death March difficulty, and I'd like to make it the best experience possible.

What are the must-have mods in 2026? I'm mostly looking for mods that improve the game without changing its core feel. Quality of life improvements, better visuals, bug fixes, UI enhancements, combat tweaks, or anything you consider essential are all welcome.

I'm not really looking for total overhauls or mods that make the game much easier.

Thanks in advance!

This one to be exact

It works ok but any major enemy damage like the white frost or the sand blasts from the hearts of stone guy kills you in one hit leading you to have to have constantly adjust the slider and back again, it had issues with the ciri sections but i lived with it

Now im in the dlc i want to go back to the vanilla damage, once the mod turned off by mistake and it led to geralt and enemi9es doing no damage to each other so the game was unplayable

Also the save before it was installed was probably 50 hours ago

If you turn off the mod in mod manager the settings stay in place.

How do i remove it

any idea why redkit out of nowhere have put a grey bar on the right that covers 1/4 of my whole screen and, more importantly, how to fix it?

i just opened the project and had this unpleasant suprise.

An updated to the UI mod I posted here not too long ago,

a lot was changed, I am still iterating and finding the best way to make it a modern and pleasant UI, easy to navigate, yet still keeping the Witcher theme and feeling.

Last time I post I received a lot of hate for seriously no reason, but also received good feedback.

I'll just say the HUD is fully customizable, you can freely choose the placement, sizing, and when it will show or hide based on events.

I am looking for a concept-art designer who is willing to contribute to this mod, for now to create a Gwent-like cards for the player main menu to replace the AI placeholders, as I am not that good with concept art designs. If you are out there - please reach out to me in DM. Of course full credit will be granted to you once the mod is complete. I eventually decided to use the official W3 concept art.

Let me know what you guys' thing on this design direction, and I am well aware this will not be the cup of tea for everybody.

so i recently started to play witcher 3 and installed couple of mods to make it a little easier and one of them is the "All Quest Objectives On Map" & "Slots Slots SLOTS (Next-Gen compatible)" from nexus and i already played around 40hrs with these mods, but then when i added another mod "deflation" that's when all started. at first it showed a script error like this so i used script merger to merge the mods. but it didn't work so i removed it but then i still kept getting errors when i opened the game so i removed all the mods and reinstalled everything, nothing changed. I even uninstalled the game and installed no solution.

also tired a similar mod from steam workshop to check if it would work but it didnt help either.

Checked any left over files / merge files but there was no anyother extra files i could find. Is it now related to within game file or is there any other place a moded file could cause this problem?

The game still works with couple of other mods enabled but only these two mods i mentioned above have the issues when running
so i am currently looking for any help to solve this issue. can anyone help me with this issue?

EDIT: ISSUE SOLVED (a leftover file from different mod caused the issue)

Tell me what I should provide?

Im looking for a mod list that improves visuals, adds immersion and stays lore accurate any recommendations??

Hello beautiful people!

I'm putting together a heavily modded Witcher 3 Classic (v1.32) setup and I've reached the point where I have a pretty large mod list. I've attached screenshots of my current mods.

I'm looking for advice for what to remove and what to prioritize.

I'm also aware that script merger situation is going to be crazy 🫠.

Thanks in advance and happy modding.

Hello all. I am very new in TW3 modding. I am on PC with Steam, I want to install "Ultimate Mod List" collection on Vortex, I am a bit messed up with scheduling that I had downloaded the files from another device to my PC. when I install it here in PC it often stalled on "Path Of The Tough" mod and if I force through redoing it asks "merges? that I click apply. yet the modpack collection always failed to be installed properly, either back to that specific mod or merge failure.

Feeling hopeless, after all that I tried to just launch the vanilla game. I tried to verify first and found "5 files failed verification and would be downloaded, and after redownloading on Steam and after launcher the game met an error with
Error [mod0000_mergedfiles]game \gui\hud\modules \hudmoduleminimap2.ws(6): Unknown base class 'WmkHudModuleWithFading'

what should I do from now? I still want to install the mod collection.

After I give the Borsodi's House to Olgierd, two conversations take place but out of order. First he takes me outside and tells me to retrieve Iris' flower and then I'm back inside and tells me to meet him outside/scares the guy in the barrel away. After that there's an infinite loading screen. I know the cutscenes are out of order because this is like my 6th playthrough but I've never had this happen to me before. I've loaded old saves, verified files, removed all my mods, uninstalled/reinstalled the game but the bug persists. Help!

My wife loved Witcher 1 and played it a lot, but she exclusively used isometric camera (she played a lot of Diablo 2 before). Years later, she tried Witcher 3, but she just can't process TPP, it makes her confused.

I want to help her enjoy the game! With that said, is there any mod that would allow to play in isometric view? Mouse control would be nice, but it's not necessary - she played a lot of Diablo 4 on Steam Deck.

I have the steam version of Witcher 3. Just downloaded the wolven trainer following the instructions but the mod is not working. The mod option is also not showing up in the game menu. This is my first time molding the game. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Got a mod0000_MergedFiles but I want to add another mod. Should I delete this? It took a long time to script merge so i hope not

If anyone uses ESGO is it compatible with SCAAR and E3 Enhanced Combat Animations?

Hello fellow Witchers ! Finally. Finally this is the last chunk of Velen. Of course, it had to be the Nilfgaardian camp. For once, don't take your boots, don't take your sword, just smile and stand up straight !

What's new ?

The map

Chunk 60 is located, obviously, on south-eastern corner of the map. It covers the entirety of the Nilfgaardian camp, with the wall and a road as natural limits. There isn't much to explain, since almost all of the chunk is off-map (you cannot go into the camp in the base game).
The camp itself is made by about 34 medium tents, 4 large ones, and a dozen of watchtowers (+13 on the wall). I've not drawn the small tents, there would be too many of them !
I've named the two summits as the flat mount and Walchturm. However, I've not written down the meaning of Walchturm, so I can't explain it here... (sorry)

The mod

I've uploaded the ICT mod on the Nexus, with both Velen and White Orchard. I've decided to not put the names on the Velen map, as it clutters it and makes it unreadable/unusable. Enjoy !

What's next ?

As you might have guessed already, there won't be any "next". I wont continue this project : this is too much time consuming, too much effort for what it is. I'm happy though to have gone this far into it, and if this map can make you smile, it's already a victory. I hoped it could find a much larger and constant audience, maybe this sub wasn't the one I should have used...

As always, the full resolution image is available on DeviantArt. Tomorrow (Thursday), I'll post the whole map on both r/witcher and r/Witcher3 with the link in comment here. I'll leave the Discord open, feel free to ask for a link whenever you want (even in a few years). Also, the GitHub project will stay online if someone wants to continue my work.

Anyway, thank you all for reading, thank you for your support. iceSpurr, over !
