Blood and Wine is amazing

Hya

I got my hands on Blood and Wine today,and I'm impressed.

The visuals are amazing,the enemies and quest are interesting and challenging(especially since I'm on Death March with NG+ and upscaled enemies,which means all my enemies will always be my level or higher).The entire expansion is so unique,different and content-packed that it feels like a new game.I love high fantasy so the visuals hit my sweet spot,and the new UI is much better too in my opinion.

The main plot is intriguing,and shows off a few lore characters which had yet to make their appearance before.Not only that,but Geralt also gets a vineyard home,which can receive various upgrades.

Of course I have a few screenshots to show,just look at the lighting and the view distance,it's phenomenal 








Ill probably be drooling over the visuals for a while,and I don't plan to stop playing The Witcher 3 anytime soon.If you have The Witcher 3 ,this expansion is a must have.

Sincerely,

Top 10 The Witcher 3 visual mods

Ello
So yeah,I've been away for a few days...sorry about that
Anyway,here is my top 10 The Witcher 3 Visual mods

1:HD reworked Project

I mentioned this mod numerous times before,it basically does what the name indicates.It replaces some in-game textures with higher-quality ones.

2:Super Turbo Lighting mod
A very nice visual mod which changes and improves lighting and particles on multiple ways,such as improving water reflections and adding some ambient occlusion

3:STLM Enhancement Reshade and Extreme Graphics Settings Tier
A very nice quality reshade preset which improves on the Super Turbo Lighting Mod with features such as darker nights,colorcorrection and improved bloom+sharpening.Be sure to take the full version,and if your rig can handle it,the optional extreme graphics tier file as well

4:No Dirt Lens Effect
Removes the occasional dirt spots you will find on your screen,kind of like a dirty lens or glass.You will mostly notice it when looking at the sun.This mod is great if you like a clearer image

5:Atmospheric nights
This mod greatly improves night time by making it darker,giving fire a more natural color and balancing soft lights + a few more features.The author recommends you get the Super Turbo Lighting Mod,which I covered before.This mod looks great,especially igni.Now you have more reasons for burning everything with it other than being a pyromaniac xD

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

7:Armor Recolors and beautiful women
Note:Armor recolors are optional and I recommend you only get the beautiful woman.This adds new textures to the game which improves the looks of  many women in the game,and offers recolored armors you can take as well if you wish.I personally only took the beautiful women part,I'm satisfied with the vanilla armor colors

8:Friendly HUD
A mod which offers a lot of options on improving the HUD and extending it.It contains many features,such as 3D quest markers and a compass.It really has a lot of customization options and as such,I really recommend this one

9: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.I really like this since the vanilla Geralt looked far too much like a normal human for me.

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

So there you have it,my top 10 Witcher 3 visual mods.Thank God this game doesn't have ENB support

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.

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

Forgotten The Witcher 3 screenshot

So I was browsing  through my screenshot folder right now,and I noticed a Witcher 3 screenshot I didn't upload.This wasn't unusual,I have a few lying around there that I didn't upload due to quality or some kind of problem.However,what was unusual is that he didn't have any problems and he wasn't that bad looking,which means I just forgot the basterd.Here you go,now's your time to shine(literally) mate!(I watched waaaaay to much GradeAunderA today)

New things I use to visually enhance The Witcher 3

Since I fixed my script compilation errors,I have been able to use a lot more mods,and as always I'm going to share the new visual mods I use to enhance my Witcher 3 graphics

Armor Recolors and beautiful women-Note:Armor recolors are optional and I recommend you only get the beautiful woman.This adds new textures to the game which improves the looks of  many women in the game,and offers recolored armors you can take as well if you wish.I personally only took the beautiful women part,I'm satisfied with the vanilla armor colors

Atmospheric nights-This mod greatly improves night time by making it darker,giving fire a more natural color and balancing soft lights + a few more features.The author recommends you get the Super Turbo Lighting Mod,which I covered before.This mod looks great,especially igni.Now you have more reasons for burning everything with it other than being a pyromaniac xD

Eredin VGX Armour-Modifies Eredin's armor to match that which was shown in the VGX trailer.I feel that it REALLY makes him look more tough and badass

Friendly HUD-A mod which offers a lot of options on improving the HUD and extending it.It contains many features,such as 3D quest markers and a compass.It really has a lot of customization options and as such,I really recommend this one

Next-gen cobblestone road-Modifies the mesh of the cobblestone road that can be seen in Novigrad to have a higher polycount and adding a displacement map

So yeah,those are all my new visual mods,which you can expect to see in action soon :D

Fixing Witcher 3 script compilation errors

I can't believe I actually fixed mine,was beginning to think I will never be able to use a lot of mods yet this fixed it for me.

The method I used was Custom Localization fix.It's the only of all the methods I tried that actually worked for me.
First off,make sure your game is updated to the latest version.Secondly,download the main file and be sure to follow the mod installation instructions carefully,there is more to it than just dumping it in your mods folder.Thirdly,download the optional vanilla CDPR scripts v1.12 file and extract it in your The Witcher 3\content\content0 folder.

That's it!That's all it took to fix mine and hopefully yours.If it doesn't tell me and I will help you with some more methods that could fix it

Sincerely

Things I use to enhance The Witcher 3's graphics

Hey.I have been enhancing The Witcher 3's graphics for maximum screenshot quality lately and I wanted to sure what I used for this.First,the mods:

HDReworked Project-Reworks the textures of many objects in the game to be higher quality,while not effecting performance,though it may have a effect on weaker PCs.I especially recommend this one,it looks great

Next Gen-candles-Improves the look of candles by adding more dept to them and greatly increasing the polycount

No Dirt Lens Effect-Removes the occasional dirt spots you will find on your screen,kind of like a dirty lens or glass.You will mostly notice it when looking at the sun.This mod is great if you like a clearer image


Super Turbo Lighting Mod-A very nice visual mod which changes and improves lighting and particles on multiple ways,such as improving water reflections and adding some ambient occlusion

Secondly,the reshade preset I use:

STLM Enhancement Reshade and Extreme Graphics Settings Tier-A very nice quality reshade preset which improves on the Super Turbo Lighting Mod with features such as darker nights,colorcorrection and improved bloom+sharpening.Be sure to take the full version,and if your rig can handle it,the optional extreme graphics tier file as well

Note:If you have some great fps issues with a AMD GPU while using hairworks,make sure to download the latest drivers,Radeon Crimson Edition 16.3.Then right click on your desktop and select
AMD Radeon Settings.Go to the Gaming tab and select The Witcher 3.If it's not there,click on add on the top right and select Browse.Then go to your Witcher 3 folder and select your witcher3.exe,which can be found in your The Witcher 3\bin\x64 folder.After you selected The Witcher 3 in your gaming tab click on Tessellation Mode and select Override application settings.Then click on Maximum Tessellation Level and set it to 16x.This will make your hair/fur look somewhat worse,but it does improve framerate.I personally gained 10fps in some areas

That is all,have a nice day

Recommended Witcher 3 mods

Hya.As promised here is my list of recommended Witcher 3 mods.These are all compatible with each other,as I use them all together without trouble with the latest patch and DLC

Debug Console Enabler-Enables the developer console,which allows features such as spawning enemies,playing as Ciri at all times,godmode and more.

Disabled Storybook Videos-Removes the annoying recap videos that appears when you load a save. A must have in my opinion.

HDReworked Project-Reworks the textures of many objects in the game to be higher quality,while not effecting performance,though it may have a effect on weaker PCs.

Increased Creature Loot-Name says it all.This increases the loot creatures drop.Offers multiple different variants of the mod for you to choose how you want it.

No Dirt Lens Effect-Removes the occasional dirt effects you will find on your screen,kind of like a dirty lens or glass.

Super Turbo Lighting Mod-A very nice visual mod which changes and improves lighting and particles on multiple ways

Witcher 3

Hi.This was a bit tricky since there isn't a lot of graphical mods,in fact,I only have one.I do plan on getting a reshade preset as well,I just need to find one I like.Meanwhile,here is what I managed to get:
