Installed all the modding tools and patches? Time to check if your game runs properly! And if not, time to read the modding guide linked above. Obviously, you won’t need it for other versions of the game. Since I’m playing the Russian version of the game, I’m also using Russian Localization Fixes by DJ_Kovrik.
You don’t need this mod if you’re using Community Patch: The Besserwiser. Adds missing quest effect to Kolgrim’s remains. Kolgrim’s Skeleton Fix by woodbyte and Partoutatix.
Makes Han look like Han, and not like Arenaria.
Essential for me as the latest official patch kills the mood completely in that important scene by not playing the corresponding music. No matter if you’re using The Besserwisser or Nitpicker’s do not merge the conflicting xml files in Script Merger! Give Ghost Mode the priority (in Script Merger – see the guide linked above) as, again, all the necessary fixes from those xmls are already present in the mod.įix For Avalach Lab Music by AsarGiN. If you do decide to use The Besserwisser with Ghost Mode, delete the scripts folder from The Besserwisser – those fixes are present in Ghost Mode and you don’t need them. Personally, I’m still using Nitpicker’s Patch by chuckcash (Old Armor Textures version) and it does the job for me, but The Besserwisser has objectively more stuff so the decision is on you. Other patchesĬommunity Patch: The Besserwiser by KoalaNalle, Gerignak, chuckcash, and banmenot is a huge collection of fixes, mostly visual.
But it’s also very easy to install manually. CPB is a replacement for Unification Patch: if you have CPB (and you will have it after following this guide) you won’t need UP.Ĭommunity Patch: Shared Imports by rmemr is necessary with Ghost Mode. Note that the patch can only be installed manually! And do remember to move your backups out of the game folder if you decide to keep vanilla files. Download, read the readme and perform the steps.
Essential patchesĬommunity Patch: Base is necessary if you want to install Ghost Mode and many of the other mods I’m using. So it’s your choice: either to use the exe patch and forget about the issue or to keep the mod limit in mind and use Mod Merger if your game suddenly becomes glitchy (infinite loading screen, missing textures, and so on). But some people reported it even with two mods (although I suspect it might have been something else). Personally, I have around 40 mods and I never encountered the mod limit problem. The first one is an executable patcher, so if you don’t like that kind of tools you might want to stick to the second one. Both do the same thing: they allow to increase/remove the mod limit the game has. If you’re planning to install a lot (and I mean a LOT) of mods, Mod Limit Fix by sedmelluq and The Witcher 3 Mod Merger by DJ_Kovrik are the tools to consider. Note that even with TW3MM you still need Script Merger to find and resolve conflicts between mods.
Here’s a guide on how to use it, but really installing a mod with it is as simple as pressing one button. But if you want an easy way of managing your mods, here’s the tool for you – The Witcher 3 Mod Manager by stefan3372 and SullivanMcBlueberry. If you’re experienced enough, you might want to install all the mods manually. There’s also a patch for Script Merger by Partoutatix and woodbyte, but it’s not mandatory – I myself am not using it because the original tool already works perfectly for me. It will save you tons of time and headaches in the future, believe me. Download, read the guide, watch videos on Nexus.
Script Merger by AnotherSymbiote is the tool to use when installing multiple mods for TW3.
Important! Run your game once after installing it to make sure it works! Necessary tools It will give you a general idea about what to expect when modding the game. So, here’s my personal mod list by categories with modding guides and tools links, suggestions and explanations.įirst things first: if you’re new to The Witcher 3 modding take your time to at least quickly read through the Basic Guide To Installing TW3 Mods. And it is compatible with many mods out there, just not with the ones that change game balance. The base one is my overhaul mod – Ghost Mode. I’m playing The Witcher 3 with a lot of mods.
