PC Mods

Though most mods are available for PC players, Witcher 3 players on next-gen consoles will be able to access several mods that are included in the Witcher 3: Wildhunt Complete Edition Next-Gen Update.

WARNING: Some mods may contain harmful files to your computer, and players who modify their games risk corrupting important data files. ALWAYS back up your files before installing a mod.

Debug Console Enabler

This mod from Nexus user skomski allows players to enable the command console and use cheats, spawn items and teleport to various locations around the game world. Download it here, and be sure to check out our full list of PC console commands, item codes, NPC spawn codes and skill codes.

Ultra Gore

Added by user Yoseppy Armineppy, this mod takes the Griffin trophy earned in The Beast of White Orchard and increases it's modest 10% chance to dismember to the ridiculous 100,000%. We'd say "100K% chance", but at this point chance isn't part of the equation any more. Download it here.

Instant Sign Casting

Is swapping back and forth between signs in combat too cumbersome? Lucky for you, xpizdax has created this simple .ini tweak that allows you to cast a sign with the press of a button, without having to swap back and forth between them. Download it here.

Improved Saddlebags

Have the best saddlebags but still not enough space? Thankfully, user iforgotmysocks created this simple add-on to boost your inventory space to an even 200. Download it here.

Intro / Recap Disabler

Do you hate Dandelion? Most people do. Even with his gruff old man voice, those recap video loading screens and main menu intros aren't great. This mod from Zander disables these videos, and we thank him for it. Download it here.

Instant Kill Runestone

This mod from Nexus user thril1 replaces the Triglav rune's default confusion effect with a, [X]% chance for an instant kill. Download it here.

Ultimate Start

phadeb wants you to start your playthrough like the ultimate warrior you are. This enhancement starts Geralt at level 70, with every item (including Gwent cards), 10 million Crowns, and the ability to fast travel from any location. Download it here.

Visual Enhancements

Of course, as with any game to come out on PC, there will be a host of visual tweaks and improvements to make the game that much prettier. Here our some of our favorite shader presets for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

1,000 Times Better v 2.1 by RainyNguyen sharpens the visiuals a bit, and adds a nice bloom effect on top of the already-great lighting engine.

Simulated High Definitiionby saynomodsattempts to make the game look even more realistic by sharpening textures and enhancing object shading.
