We all know why you're here. You're fresh from Netflix's The Witcher show adaptation and we also know that that darned cliffhanger of an ending has left many Witcher fans craving more. Anyway, it's not hard to get more of The Witcher. Apart from the books, you can play the infinitely replayable The Witcher III: Wild Hunt again.
Fun as that might sound, The Witcher 3 is not without its faults. It's a five-year-old game, after all, and plenty of small cracks are still waiting to be buffed. When it comes to that, you can thank the PC gaming community wholeheartedly as they have fixed many of The Witcher 3's small problems and gameplay quirks. So, to make your countless replays for The Witcher 3 even more appealing and less of a chore, toss a coin to these mods (they're free, don't worry) and play.
10 FAST TRAVEL FROM ANYWHERE
Everyone and his dog is aware that Geralt is no god and holds no candle to his daughter Ciri when it comes to powers. However, having Geralt approach a signboard in order to fast travel every time in the game world can get rather old especially when you're on your tenth playthrough.
Fast Travel from Anywhere solves this artificial time constraint by giving Geralt Ciri's space-defying powers. Install it and you can fast travel anywhere with no need for a signboard. This makes subsequent playthroughs less painful on your limited time as an adult so you can get to the meat of the game faster.
9 OVER 9000 - WEIGHT LIMIT MOD
Geralt having a limited carrying weight for his items doesn't make as much sense as the game developers thought it would. For one, everything he carries isn't even visible, so the element of realism is already gone. Meanwhile, it also really doesn't affect gameplay balance that much.
So do yourself a favor and make Geralt a walking medieval supermarket by installing the Over 9000 - Weight Limit Mod. This expands the weight limitation, increasing Geralt's carrying capacity or even making it infinite if you want. It's a perfect mod for hoarders and magpies who just don't want to get rid of that beautiful but subpar wavy steel sword.
8 AUTO-LOOT
What goes well with unlimited carrying capacity for a witcher you ask? The AutoLoot mod, of course! Because picking up and dissecting each and every monster and human you kill for items and loot is way above your paygrade as a witcher. With this mod, Geralt will automatically pick up all the items from fallen enemies.
Do note that for it to work perfectly, you have to have the Weight Limit Mod. It's not necessary but Geralt's measly default in-game pockets can leave many players wanting. In any case, this mod makes it faster to "farm" for money in-game which is a lot more important once you have the expensive Zerrikanian alchemist from Hearts of Stone.
7 ADDITIONAL STASH LOCATIONS
Now, if you're not a big fan of the Weight Limit Mod since it can be categorized as cheating or you just don't appreciate cluttered inventories, then a good alternative could be Additional Stash Locations. It's a mod that adds more stashes in the game world which makes it easier to store and swap items.
It's also a good medium point between unlimited inventory space and weight or the default carrying limit. The mod adds eight new stashes in the game and even moves two of them to a more convenient location. So, if you're on the fence about increasing Geralt's carrying capacity, then more stashes in the game world just might work for you.
6 ALL QUEST OBJECTIVES ON MAP
Getting tired of switching objectives every time you want to follow another quest? You can change that needless busywork by downloading a mod called All Quest Objectives On Map. It does what it literally says, which is to put all the objective markers for all quests on the area or world map.
This way, you don't have to wade through the quest menus. Just walk up to a marker you see in the area map and you can start, trigger, or finish the quest. Not only that, but it can also add some important merchants and make them distinguishable. If the game starts looking like it was made by Ubisoft, don't worry; the mod lets you customize which markers will clutter your map.
5 AUTO APPLY OILS
Geralt is armed to the teeth and has a plethora of tools that can even determine the outcome of each encounter especially on higher difficulty levels. Oils are a good example of this but be honest, most players don't even bother with them since applying them interrupts the combat.
Thankfully, a mod called Auto Apply Oils does the job for you automatically so you don't have to keep opening the menu every time a different monster appears. That's right, the mod even knows which oil to apply for any occasion. This way, you can maximize Geralt's tools without ruining the flow of combat.
4 NO MORE ROLLING DOWN THE STAIRS
Apart from being a witcher, Geralt sometimes also sidelines as a clown whose claim to notoriety is rolling down the stairs involuntarily. It's funny but when you're controlling the old witcher, it can get frustrating, especially when you're chasing monsters or bandits who like to block stairs.
This needs to stop. Make Geralt stop by installing this mod; it's called No More Rolling Down the Stairs. It simply removes Geralt's tendency to succumb to his old man's ankles and leg muscles when descending or even ascending stairs. It's a must-have unless you're not serious about being a witcher.
3 NO FALL DAMAGE
A witcher is supposedly enhanced through mutations and can withstand more punishment and damage compared to most regular humans and even nonhumans. Geralt is no exception but apparently, his mutations never got to his legs (which was probably why he also keeps rolling down the stairs).
Anyway, it's up to us to fix Geralt's mutation shortcomings by giving him legs of steel with the No Fall Damage mod. It removes all fall damage Geralt is supposed to receive when falling from a mere 6-foot drop or higher. Now you can finally make him parkour through the rooftops of Novigrad.
2 BETTER ICONS
We've said it before on this list and we'll say it again: the user interface in The Witcher 3 could use a rework. A simple tweak does that job and it's called Better Icons. It changes the icons for your crafting materials, oils, decoctions, and many other inventory elements to make them less of an eyesore.
With this mod, you can spend less time looking for what you need in Geralt's bags. Because for some reason, decoctions and oils all need to look alike with only the colors changed. Better Icons fixes this by giving labels to the icons and making the icons' color coding which is handy for those of us with bad eyes.
1 INDESTRUCTIBLE ITEMS
It's fun to use swords as a witcher but then you soon realize that they're no tougher than a Pringles chip. The degrading swords might be realistic but then that removes the magical appeal of Geralt's weapons which are supposedly special since he's a witcher. So, if you want to feel that your swords are made by the best blacksmiths ever, then Indestructible Items is the mod for you.
It sets the durability of all of Geralt's weapons and armor to a static 100 percent. They will not degrade no matter how many monsters, humans, or wheat fields you slay. It removes the tedium attached to the game's combat and also makes combat options more exciting. For best results, download all of these mods for a better Witcher experience.
