Top 10 non-visual The Witcher 3 mods

So here we go,The Witcher 3 top 10 non-visual mods.I will only do two ones,visual and non-visual because I don't use a lot of mods nor is there a lot of mods.But anyways,here's my list

1:Random Encounters
This mod adds a lot of random encounters around the world,which can be configured by you in the mod menu.Personally,I feel this mod is a must have since it adds so much life and immersion to The Witcher 3

2:Debug Console Enabler
This enables a debug console similar to Skyrim's console.You may think this can only be used to cheat,but there are much more uses to it,such as mod testing.Some features you can try out for example is god mode,playing as Ciri,spawning giants in town and more

3:Increased Creature Loot
LOOOOT! LOOT!.This modifies the loot enemies drop by making them always drop loot and have more loot,or just the former,based on what version you use.The amount by which it is increased is also dependent on which version you download

4; Disabled Storybook Videos
Removes the annoying recap videos that appears when you load a save.This has saved me a lot of annoyance and time since I can now dive straight into the loading screen instead of waiting for that crap

5:Gear improvements last longer
Name says it all.This mod increases the time grindstone and workbench bonuses lasts,to a full in-game day or a half,depending on your choice

how am I supposed to do 10 of these,I was barely able to do 5.I don't have a lot of non-visual mods


6:Jump in shallow water
Oh come on,I doubt I need to tell you what this does.Really?fine....This mod allows Geralt to jump in shallow water.There,happy?

7:Wealthy Vendors
Again,the name pretty much says it all.But sure,Ill do it again.This mod increases the amount of money merchants have.Useful if you just found some epic weapon that you don't need/want but the merchant doesn't have enough money for it

8:Better Icons
This improves the icons by adding their name on their icon.No longer do you have to hover your mouse over a potion to see what it is,you can see it's name on the icon.Very useful

9:Parry with Torch
As the name suggests,this allows you to parry when you have a torch out.It;s a pretty neat feature,and one I have wanted since I started playing the game

10:Slots Slots SLOTS
This  allows you to customize how many skill slots you have,which is really great for me since I was annoyed by the fact that you can only have certain skills active.

Skyrim Top 10 Texture mods Part 2

Greetings

As promised,here is part 2 of my top 10 texture mods.

6:Ultimate HD Fire Effects

'A picture is worth a thousand words'.This is especially true about graphics mods,since you can clearly see what it's doing,like here.For example,you can clearly see that this mod trashes the vanilla my little pony flames.This mods make flames looks better,by either  using vanilla,medium or ultra quality textures,depending on what version you download.

7:Inside the Nebula

Here we go,one of my night sky mods,as can be seen here .This mod replaces some of the empty black spaces of the vanilla with high quality nebula's.The one in this screenshot and mine is the waterfall version,though there are more.This mod isn't even that performance intense,so many can enjoy this beauty

8:Skyrim Lore Friendly Vanilla Nightsky Retexture 4K

Jeez,what a mouth full.Why not just Nightsky Retexture 4K.Anyway,this replaces the stars and all nightsky stuff with high-quality 4K ones.It does a great job,since the nightsky looks great.The reason why this 'lore-friendly' one was made is to give those who want normal high-quality night-skies without 'strange' or 'colorful' textures what they want.I recommend using this alongside Insude the Nubula for maximum quality

9:HD Enhanced Terrain

Look at that,just look at how much better it looks.Ok,looked long enough?Good,then go download it.No,seriously,go.It's much higher quality,it's a small download and according  to the author it has no performance effect,not even on a 8400 GS.Why wouldn't you download it?

10:Enhanced Blood textures

This one was actually one of the first Skyrim mods,and not only does it add higher quality and detailed blood textures,it also allows you to configure screen blood,spasms,blood on weapons and more.I say you should definitely get this if you don't mind it,because bloody hell does it look better .Hahahahah,puns.Yeah,hahahaha.Don't worry,Ill get off the stage myself

There you go,my top 10 texture mods finally finished.I still have another top 10 mods for The Witcher 3 coming,and I may try and continue my Skyrim for low-end rigs series

Sincerely
WhiteFang

More things I use to enhance Witcher 3 graphics

Again,I have gotten quite a few things that I use to improve my Witcher 3's graphics.Here they are:


HD chainmail for viper armor-Enhances the meshes of the armor to make it look better,by making the chainmail look the same

My sweetfx preset-All info can be found there

Next-gen Novigrad-This makes the meshes of various walls,streets etc in Novigrad higher quality and thus,better looking

Improved Sign Effects-Makes the visual effect of Igni and Aard more intense and good looking

The Beserker-HD ursine set concept retexture-Retextures the Ursine set with high-quality textures to resemble the concept art image

Lore-friendly Witchers-This makes Geralt look more lore friendly by making it more clear that he is a mutant,and giving him true witcher 3 eyes.I really like this since the vanilla Geralt looked far too much like a normal human for me.

This one was done very quickly,because like I said,time isn't on my side, so I didn't describe it in great detail and I may have missed some

Skyrim for low-end rigs:Part 1.Is ultra worth it,getting ultra texture quality and more!

This is a series where I will cover tweaks,settings,info and mods for lower end rigs.If you have a high-end rig you are free to stay,you may learn something

First off,is Ultra really worth it?
Many wish they can max out Skyrim,and some do it,even though it brings them down to 7FPS.I personally feel this is unnecessary since there isn't that much of a difference and by the time I get to part 5 you will be running the game on Ultra anyway.Take a look at this

 The biggest difference is the view distance of things.Other than that,there isn't a huge difference.I'm not blind though,I can see there is a difference which bothers me:Texture quality.But that can be fixed!.So,put your game on low and folow these few steps.First off,put your game's anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering off and force the amount you want through your graphics control panel.You can get it by right clicking on your desktop and selecting it.Once it;s opened look for anything like games or 3D programs.Here is two screenshots,one for AMD and one for Nvidia

Not only is it higher quality,but it's also less-performance intense!That's a win-win if I've ever seen one

Next,go to your SkyrimPrefs.ini in Documents\My Games\Skyrim and add the line iTexMipMapSkip=0 under Display.Save the changes,right click on your SkyrimPrefs.ini and tick the Read-only box

Now we got your textures looking good on Low,now we have to worry about the rest,and improving performance and stability.But,I will cover that in later parts.Thanks for your time :D

Radeon Pro Skyrim performance stability tweaks

I have a way to improve Skyrim's performance using Radeon Pro.
First off,not sure if Radeon Pro works with none-AMD GPUs.Secondly,improving performance doesn't always mean higher fps.There is a lot more to it than that,These tweaks will mainly reduce micro-stutter and minor freezes.Thirdly,I can't guarantee that these will work for you,it worked fine for me though
Ok,let's start.

If you don't have Radeon Pro yet,get it here

After you installed it,open it up and click Add new profile in the toolbar at the top.It's the white page with a green + sign on the top corner..A window should open.In this window,go to your Skyrim folder and select TESV.exe.It should now be in your list of profiles on the left.Select it and go to the bottom of the Visual tab

You should now see a option 'Vertical sync control'.Tick the box and take the slider to Always on.
Next go to your Advanced tab and tick the Flip Queue Size box.Then move the slider to 1
After you are done with that,go to the Tweaks tab and set VSync control to Always on.Then,tick the triple-buffering box and enter your Display Refresh rate.After that,tick the Lock frame rate up to monitor's refresh rate box and go down to Misc Tweaks.When you are there,tick the Disable Aero box and you're done!

Let me know if this worked for you or not.I would also appreciate it if someone could tell me if Radeon Pro works with none-AMD GPUs.Thanks!

Skyrim:Top 10 texture mods Part 1

Hya.
As I said,I wanted to start doing top 10s and I'm starting it off with my top 10 Skyrim texture mods.However,I'm only going to cover 5 today and 5 tomorrow,sinceI don't have a lot of time right now(I will still do another top 10 tomorrow). Obviously,these are quite performance heavy,though that can be helped by using the texture optimizer I covered before here.As long as your rig makes the recommended requirements for Skyrim,you should be able to handle this.So,let's start shall we

1:aMidianBorn Book of Silence

Not the highest quality of all,but it's my favorite because it's so good looking and fairly light on performance for a texture mod of this size.In the download section each pack is separated(Weapons,armors,Unique items tec).You can choose what you want download and take only that,or you can download all packs and install them all(I highly recommend you do,especially if you care about your performance and don't want a lot of texture mods).

2:Skyrim HD-2K textures

This texture mod is covers a lot,including things aMidianBorn doesn't.The last part of the name is a bit misleading though,since not all textures are 2K.The mod has two version,a Lite and Full version.The Lite version is 1K,while the full version's textures range from 2-8K.Again,if you seek performance take the Lite version.
3:Skyrim Flora Overhaul

Not much to say about this.It overhauls the flora by adding more variety to it and making it higher quality.Comes in Basic,Regular,Summer and v2+ editions.To help out with performance,you can get the SFO version of Grass on Steroids

4:Tamriel Reloaded HD

Here we go,the God of quality.The only reason this isn't number 2 is the huge download size and performance hit.Not only does it make textures higher quality,it adds more texture variety AND makes it parallax.If you want to make your Skyrim look REALLY high quality I recommend you download this.

5:4K Parallax Skyrim

This is a smaller scale high-quality parallax  mod which replaces some textures with 4K parallax ones.This is nice if you don't have a good internet connection or that good of a rig but you still want your Skyrim to look better.In fact,as long as your can handle Skyrim fairly well( doesn't  need to make the recommended), you should be able to handle this,

Now that we are on that subject,have you noticed how retarded some game requirements are?I have seen some people play games on high settings with playable fps,without any performance mods/tweaks,that their rig isn't even supposed to be able to handle.Game requirements are almost NEVER accurate

Anyway,sorry for not being able to do all the texture mods today,but like I said,I will do the rest tomorrow as well  as the full top 10 list I was planing to do tomorrow

Sincerely
WhiteFang
