Better Call Ciri

• Download link: Nexus Mods

The Ciri sections in The Witcher 3 are some of the best parts of the entire game, as the young Witcher has so many unique abilities that Geralt simply doesn’t have. Unfortunately, Ciri’s sections are few and far between in the base game, but you can change that with the click of a button using the Better Call Siri mod.

This mod allows you to instantly change between Geralt and Ciri, regardless of where you are in The Witcher 3. You’ll also have access to all of Ciri’s abilities, and she can even fast travel and use Roach. However, you won’t be able to earn XP as Ciri.

Monsters Reworked

• Created by: Denroth
• Download link: Nexus Mods

The creatures of The Witcher 3 get their due in Monsters Reworked, an expansive mod that tackles all of the monsters in the game and its expansion. Denroth enhanced the visuals and modified more than textures to bring this project to fruition, and it’s truly an evolutionary step forward for the game.

In some cases, a complete or partial rework of the monsters was necessary to bring them up to a modern-gen standard. Those creatures have never looked better than they did after this. If anything, it makes battling the monsters even more fun, but be careful you don’t get distracted admiring them while you’re trying to fight a battle. That’s just going to lead Geralt to a fatal end.

Tales of The Witcher

• Created by: Gerwant
• Download link: Nexus Mods

How’s this for ambition? Gerwant’s Tales of the Witcher jettisons the story of both the game and The Witcher novels, replacing them with a tale that takes place during Geralt’s first adventure in Cintra. It’s a brand-new story, with an emphasis on exploration and killing monsters. It feels like the expansion we never got, even though Tales of the Witcher remains a work in progress.

This mod was created with REDkit, and Gerwant has kept new updates coming since its release. For the final version, Gerwant is shooting for 25 hours of gameplay, 20 main quests, and a map that’s twice the size of The Witcher 3’s prologue playground map.

Custom Player Character

• Created by: nikich340
• Download link: Nexus Mods

This is one of the most intriguing Witcher 3 mods, because it gives players the chance to create their own characters and insert them into the game’s storyline. It not only offers fans the chance to set their character’s gender, it also has distinct male and female voices to choose from.

You could make your character a Witcher, but the more exciting aspect of this mod is that you can also choose to be a Sorceress. That entails a completely new combat system for magical attacks and a unique quest. Picking this option is like paving the way for a spin-off you never knew you wanted.

Firearms

• Created by: Roenaxx
• Download link: Nexus Mods

The Witcher 3 doesn’t have firearms, but this mod solves that problem by giving Geralt access to several weapons. Essentially, it allows Geralt to shoot his enemies in addition to all of his other attacks. Mod creator Roenaxx also added some thoughtful touches to keep this addition from unbalancing the game. The guns aren’t for sale, and players will have to complete a progression path to open them. Even if you do see that quest through to the end, bullets are going to be scarce.

If you want to stay well-armed in this world, then you’re gonna have to work for it by tracking down the materials you’ll need to craft bullets. You’ll also need the Firearms compatibility mod to have it work with the Remastered version of The Witcher 3.

All Quest Objectives On Map

• Created by: Wolfmark
• Download link: Nexus Mods

The Witcher 3 is a game chock-full of quests you can take on. By default, you can only track one of these quests on the map at a time, which can get slightly tedious if you have multiple objectives in one location. If you download the All Quest Objectives On Map mod, though, you’ll be able to track all of your quests at the same time and view them on the map, so you know exactly where to go for each of them.

Over 9000

• Created by: GiecuMan
• Download link: Nexus Mods

When you’re out adventuring in the world, slaying monsters, and looting enemies, your inventory will get quite full, quite fast. You’ll often find yourself dropping some valuable loot that you would have liked to carry, if only Geralt’s pockets could handle it. To solve that issue, the Over 9000 mod makes it so you’ll hopefully never exceed your carrying capacity again. The mod makes your carrying weight 9,000 pounds, which you’ll likely never get near unless you’re picking up every junk item you can find.

Fast Travel from Anywhere

• Created by: JupiterTheGod
• Download link: Nexus Mods

One of the more frustrating aspects of The Witcher 3 is being forced to make your way to signposts in order to fast travel to a destination. If you’re not a fan of that mechanic, you can download the Fast Travel from Anywhere mod, which does exactly what the title says. No longer do you have to be at a signpost to fast travel; you can instead open your map and fast travel to any signpost you’ve previously visited on the map.

Sprint in Witcher Senses

• Created by: MerseyRockoff
• Download link: Nexus Mods

You might not realize it during your playthrough, but you spend quite a bit of time in Witcher Senses mode in The Witcher 3. The mechanic is used during dozens of quests, and it’s required to progress in the game. However, Witcher Senses stops your ability to sprint, which can make the mechanic feel very sluggish to use.

To speed up your time while in the mode, though, all you have to do is download the Sprint in Witcher Senses mod. Now, you can move freely while using Witcher Senses and save quite a bit of time when tracking a beast or following a human’s footsteps or blood trail.

Friendly HUD

• Created by: wghost81
• Download link: Nexus Mods

The default heads-up display in The Witcher 3 is perfectly adequate, but if you’re playing for a second or eighth time, you might want to change things up. The Friendly HUD mod makes a slew of changes to the vanilla HUD and even lets you customize what’s shown on it. The mod also adds 3D quest and map markers, providing you with a more in-depth look at what an area holds. You’re able to add and remove elements from the HUD while in-game using the mod’s commands.

Switchable Cloaks

• Created by: Priler
• Download link: Nexus Mods

If you’ve read The Witcher books or watched the Netflix TV show, you know Geralt of Rivia is rarely seen without his famous cloak. In The Witcher 3, though, Geralt doesn’t wear a cloak, instead opting for a set of brown armor by default. With the Geralt Cloak mod, you can fix that and make Geralt look like he does in the show and the books. The cloak is made of a dark fabric and covers Geralt’s head, but it also comes with a cape. You can equip and take off both the cape and the hood through the mod’s commands, as well as choose where and when the cloak and cape are shown.

The Gwent Card Dealer

• Created by: Mangekyoumadara1987
• Download link: Nexus Mods

Gwent is one of the most popular aspects of The Witcher 3, and it has even inspired a full video game of its own that has become one of the best titles on Steam. However, trying to play Gwent properly in The Witcher 3 can be a slight hassle, as you have to collect more and more powerful cards as you progress. This becomes an issue, as Gwent cards are extremely hard to find. Of course, if you download The Gwent Card Dealer mod, you can bypass the grind of finding the cards yourself. This new merchant in The Witcher 3 sells 99% of cards, with some exceptions being those unique cards that you can only acquire in one specific way.

More Money For Traders

• Created by: Tommy1984
• Download link: Nexus Mods

Traders in The Witcher 3 are an extremely useful resource, as they sell gear and items you need, as well as take unneeded loot off your hands for some quick cash. Unfortunately, the traders around the map often don’t carry much money, leaving you to visit multiple traders to sell off all of your junk. With the More Money For Traders mod, though, that no longer becomes a problem. All traders on the map now restock their money supply every time you visit them, and have more cash to spend in general.

Slots Slots Slots

• Created by: Krdemolition4
• Download link: Nexus Mods

If you want to become truly overpowered in The Witcher 3, then you want as many skill sockets and mutation slots as possible. By default, you don’t have a ton of either, but the Slots Slots Slots mod changes that. The mod bumps the skill sockets from 12 and 16 to 18 and 26, while also adding four new mutation slots. You can now make Geralt a much tougher Witcher and utilize a more in-depth build.

Gallop Anywhere No Panic

• Created by: alx713
• Download link: Nexus Mods

When you arrive inside a major city in The Witcher 3, you immediately have some movement restrictions. Specifically, if you’re riding Roach, you can only ride at a very slow pace through the city streets. Thanks to the Galloping In Cities mod, though, that restriction is fully lifted, allowing you to gallop through cities regardless of where you are, and making traveling to your destination a much quicker affair.

No Level Requirements

• Created by: Dominitk666
• Download link: Nexus Mods

Every Witcher 3 player has experienced the sullen feeling of looting a new piece of gear and realizing they’re not at the right level to equip it. You never have to experience that feeling again after downloading the No Level Requirements mod, as this makes it so every item and gear piece can be equipped regardless of your current level.

God Mode

• Created by: jgheld and tnovak
• Download link: Nexus Mods

God Mode is a mod that allows you to turn The Witcher 3 into whatever kind of game you want. The mod allows you to customize everything about your experience, turning the RPG into your personal playground. At the center of God Mode is the ability to become invincible, as you can reduce all enemy damage to zero so that Geralt never loses any HP. However, the mod can also give you unlimited money, items, carrying capacity, and a slew of other benefits that make The Witcher 3 easier. It’s only recommended to download this mod if you’re struggling with the game’s mechanics and enemies, or if you’ve played through more than once.

Critical Slow Motion Combat Mod

Combat in The Witcher 3 isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and if you’ve been looking for a way to spice up your encounters with enemies, consider the Critical Slow Motion Combat mod. It adds a new slow motion element to combat, giving you the chance to outmaneuver enemies in a pinch and deal more damage in the process. There are new animations added with the mod, and you can choose when to activate the slow-mo while in combat.

Gwent Redux

• Created by: oerdi25
• Download link: Nexus Mods

Gwent is a mini-game that can stretch over hours in The Witcher 3. However, if you’re looking to get even more out of the card game, you can download the Gwent Redux mod. It makes changes to the default cards, adds more than 100 new cards to your potential deck, improves opponent AI, and alters other parts of Gwent to make it more balanced and enjoyable. The mod changes quite a bit, so make sure you read its description to see everything that comes with downloading it.

Unlimited Roach Stamina

• Created by: liongvn
• Download link: Nexus Mods

We all love Roach as a character, but as a horse, he can be quite annoying at times. One of the more frustrating things about Roach is how quickly his stamina depletes, forcing you to slowly meander a path until the stamina recharges. Luckily, the Infinite Roach Stamina mod allows Roach to never stop galloping in The Witcher 3. With the mod installed, Roach never has to recharge his stamina bar, which is quite useful for the horse races on the map or in general travel.

Witcher 3 Quests Extended

The quests in The Witcher 3 are some of the deepest and most enjoyable you’ll find in an RPG. However, after you’ve done them all multiple times, they can get a little stale. If you’re searching for new quests to take on, grab the Witcher 3 Quests Extended mod. It adds 18 new quests to the game, some of which require either the Hearts of Stone or Blood and Wine expansions. However, there are plenty of quests that can be accessed in the base game, too. Check out the mod’s description page to see how and where to start these quests.

Immersive Sounds

The Witcher 3’s gameplay sounds are iconic. However, the Immersive Sounds mod takes the sounds you hear while exploring and in combat to another level. The mod makes all of the sounds clearer and punchier, adding some impact behind your in-game actions.

Yet Another Crossbow Rework

• Created by: blibby84
• Download link: Nexus Mods

The crossbow isn’t the strongest weapon in the default version of The Witcher 3. While it can be used to kill some lower-level enemies or enemies who are tough to reach, you’re rarely clamoring to pull the crossbow out in a tense situation. That thought process can be changed with the Crossbow Rework mod, though, which makes the crossbow much stronger in general by balancing all of its in-game stats. Moreover, as you upgrade your crossbow, it becomes significantly stronger than the last one you had equipped.

Witcher 2 Potion Length

• Created by: mindkiller316
• Download link: Nexus Mods

Potions are crucial to your survival in The Witcher 3, especially if you’re playing on one of the harder difficulty levels. The potions you use tend not to last very long, though, which can lead you to constantly going to acquire more ingredients for your concoctions. The Witcher 2 Potion Length mod fixes that dilemma by making every potion you consume last much longer. This reverts the potion duration back to what it was in The Witcher 2, which allows you to feel the effects of potions for several minutes.

Blood And Steel

• Created by: Riyusso
• Download link: Nexus Mods

The Blood and Steel mod for The Witcher 3 changes up combat in several different ways. The mod aims to make targeting and dodging more intuitive, while also adding new and improved animations to all elements of combat. The most noticeable change the mod makes is to the dodging mechanic, which is now much faster and more reactive, allowing you to escape a sticky situation with more precision. You’ll also see changes to the combat camera and sign usage, and to the fighting styles of enemies.

Increased Creature Loot

• Created by: mindkiller316
• Download link: Nexus Mods

There’s nothing worse in The Witcher 3 than defeating a creature, big or small, and opening up their inventory to find almost nothing of value. While you might loot a small trinket or resource that you can sell, you often want to see more lootable items after you’ve slain a monster. The Increased Creature Loot mod comes equipped with that sole goal, making it so every single creature in The Witcher 3 drops some sort of loot and ups the quantity you’ll find after killing something.

No Time For Gwent

To most The Witcher 3 players, Gwent is one of the best parts of the entire game. It’s become a game by itself, and you can easily spend over a dozen hours playing it in The Witcher 3. However, whether you don’t like Gwent or you don’t have time for it at a certain point during your playthrough, you can download the No Time For Gwent mod, which allows you to use Axii to immediately win your current game. After using the sign, you’ll proceed to the dialogue between Geralt and the other NPC and move on with your journey.

“}]] [[{“value”:”The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is considered one of the best RPGs of all time, but community members have still managed to design some incredible mods that alter, expand on, and improve it. Even after the Remastered version of The Witcher 3 was released, mod creators still managed to enhance the experience in one way or another.

Mods for The Witcher 3 range from quality-of-life changes, to redesigns of gameplay mechanics, to full-on DLC add-ons with new quests and content. While The Witcher 3 doesn’t have quite the expansive library of mods that Skyrim or Fallout 4 do on Nexus Mods, there are still dozens that make the game better in one way or another.

Below, you can see our picks for the 28 best mods to download for The Witcher 3. The mods are listed in no particular order, and all of these have been confirmed to be compatible with the Remastered version of the game.
