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

Kaer Morhen

Hya.
So I never did upload those Skyrim screenshots because I didn't like the way they came out.Instead,I have a few Witcher 3 screenshots of  the Kaer Morhen valley.It's not much,but I will upload more soon.So yeah,enjoy





Skyrim new screenshots delayed

So yeah,I said in the previous post that I was going to upload some screenshots from Skyrim,but the enb is being a bit of a pain to customize+I have some texture issues.I still plan on uploading,but it may be a while and it will most likely be without a ENB.Basically what I planned for these were a more realistic,immersive look,with a bit of boosted vibrancy so that it doesn't look completely grey like vanilla Skyrim.Anyway,I will try and get the screenshots ready in the next hour.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Must have Skyrim utilities

Hey.
You probably have heard of a lot of different utilities people use for Skyrim and wondered "what utilities do I  need" or "do these really work?".Well,all these utilities I am about to recommend definitely works and they work well

TES5Edit-A very effective tool that cleans esp/esm files by removing ITM(identical to master)records and undeleting+disabling deleted references.Doing this prevents some crashes and errors

Loot-Ah,loot.You have probably heard of this one before if you dived into Skyrim modding.Loot organizes your mod load order,which reduces crashes and mods not working properly.It is a absolute must have

Wrye Bash-A utility with a lot of features,yet it's main function is improving mod compatibility by storing information in a 'bashed patch' it creates.It can also be used to disable/enable mods,launch skyrim,view .ini tweaks and more

Ordenator-This mod has been a life saver to me.It compresses textures,without losing quality,which saves vram and frees up disk space.You can also tell it to add mipmaps or reduce a texture's quality when it reaches a certain texture size.A absolute must have,especially if you have a lot of high-res texture mos(like me xD).It has greatly helped me getting a higher,smoother fps and helped a lot with stuttering.

Speaking of Skyrim,I plan on uploading a few screenshots in the next hour or two

Another update

Greetings.
I have a few things I would like to talk about,as always.

First off,the blog itself.I have improved the social media buttons for my twitter,pinterest,google+ and youtube,as well as setting up a facebook page.Check it out :D.Further more,I have added a well needed feature,related posts.You can see it at the bottom of each post.I've also added a little not for newcomers at the top left.

Secondly,games.Right now I'm mainly focusing on The Witcher 3,so you can count on seeing quite a bit of that along with some Skyrim stuff.I don't want to make this entire blog all about thesame stuff though,so I will be doing other stuff in between as well.

That is all I wanted to share right now,I feel like I mentioned everything I wanted to say,so have a pleasant day/evening

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
