The Witcher 3: the 3 best mods

The Witcher 3 captivates with its special atmosphere, but after a while it comes along somewhat monotonously. Mods bring variety to the world of Witcher 3: for example, they beautify the in-game graphics, sharpen the textures or provide the game with a dark aura. The best mods for Witcher 3 will help you dive even further into the apocalyptic fantasy adventure.

The Witcher 3: The three best mods - E3FX for more realistic game graphics

E3FX tries to imitate the graphics from the trailers of E3 2013, which looked much darker and more realistic than in the actual game. The mod provides first-class cinematic optics with many beautiful effects and dark colors.

• The Mod E3FX is a combination of SweetFX and ReShade, both of which provide optical modifications for games. Particularly dark and dramatic presets were created here, which complement The Witcher 3 with very cold and dreary lighting. You can find a video on YouTube in which E3FX was used. You can only enjoy this mod with a powerful graphics card, because the FPS are almost halved in particularly complex scenes.
• You can download E3FX from Nexusmods. After logging in, you can also install the Mod Manager, which makes adding mods particularly easy.

The Witcher 3: the three best mods - Super Turbo Lighting Mod

Have you ever wondered why the lighting in the cutscenes looks better than in the actual game? The makers of Super Tubo Lighting Mod noticed this and therefore immediately created a mod. The result: The lighting from the cutscenes is implemented throughout the game.

• The lighting of the cutscenes is activated throughout the game and thus provides a more realistic color palette. The world of The Witcher 3 then no longer looks so colorful and gaudy. Instead, you can expect more subtle and less intrusive colors. Super Turbo Lighting Mod can do this without losing FPS and is especially interesting if your hardware is a little older.
• Super Turbo Lighting Mod can be downloaded from Nexusmods. You can also easily install this mod with the Mod Manager.

The Witcher 3: HD Reworked Project

HD Reworked Project replaces the somewhat muddy original textures from The Witcher 3 with detailed textures. It tries to keep the performance loss as low as possible.

• Many textures from the original are replaced by sharper ones. This includes roofs, stones, wooden boxes and many more. You do not have to worry about your performance, because even a reasonably current graphics card will not lose FPS.
• HD Reworked Project is the most downloaded mod on nexusmods.com. You can download the mod here.
